That's How I Remember You
Born in mediocrity, left to struggle
Unfair life blessed nothing but tussle
Neither the best of clothes, nor the trendy toys
Was never meant for them, but couldn't help wishful eyes
Born are some with silver spoon
Lady Luck despised me, I realized soon
Who wants those riches readymade?
Unceasing toil, perseverance and hope was all it takes
Been there, done it all, but yet so far
Almost arrived but never crossed the success bar
Let bygones be bygones
And I was only made to take it head on
Events after events, the years passed by
Tryst with the odds was yet to pacify
Hope also has a tipping point
All along was despair, gloom and disappoint
Conceded to destiny, I quit
But then life is never easy to predict
Life took a U-turn
Happiness at the ebb was about to return
You made my heart skip a beat
And I realized I still exist
You chirped, you poked, brought life to galore
Rescued from the rut, my elements were on the fore
I deserved the best, I got the best
'Marry Me Please', was my only request
Your eyes, your smile, about to kill
Music to my ears, 'Yes I Will, Yes I Will, Yes I Will'
