For What You Know

For what you know...

For what you know as love,

I know it as sorrow.

For what you think is granted,

I have to borrow.

In the dense darkness of the dawn,

In the thin hue of grey at night,

I see you as hope.

I am like a dying fly around the little light.

For what you see as flower,

Even I see it as you.

Since I am the one who keeps it every day,

Before the grave, for you.

You took the peace as if it is granted, the peace which comes after death.

I have to search for it every time I think of you.

You took the moments of happiness as granted, the happiness when you were alive.

I have to borrow it from my memories because I cant live it again with you twice.

I dread a life which I have to live now,

Because I know it will not be as we once lived

But I promise to make the best out of it,

As you wanted me to live, with kindness in heart and a smile in the face.
