A Thousand Years
Time stands still
My eyes met his as I walked down the aisle, everything else fading out to focus on him. I could see no one but that man who was waiting at the altar; I could hear no sounds except the rapid pace of my heartbeat as I stood beside him.
Beauty in all she is
Dressed in white, she walked down the aisle with Neela Maa on her side. Nothing else mattered in this moment, for my eyes were fixed just on her. My eyes refused to let her out of my sight, for I was afraid I'd wake up to find that this was just a dream.
I will be brave
I took her hand in mine as we recited our vows;
"You brought hope back to my life Avni"
"Loving you has made me a better person Neil"
I will not let anything, take away what's standing in front of me
"For better or for worse"
"For better or for worse"
Every breath, every hour has come to this
"I officially announce you husband and wife"
One step closer
Her tiny frame tiptoed near me, with her palm caressing my cheek.
I looked into his eyes with all the love in my heart and kissed him.
I have died everyday, waiting for you
It had been - what seems like - an eternity since I had last felt this complete. She put together the pieces of me that had long been scattered.
I had almost lost myself had he not guided me away from my thirst for revenge. He made me realize what love was; made me realize I could live without being entirely consumed by hatred.
Darling, don't be afraid, I have loved you for a thousand years
With tears in my eyes, I stood there admiring the woman that stood before me.
With tears in my eyes, I stood there admiring the man that stood before me.
I'll love you for a thousand more
She completed me in a way I never knew was possible.
His presence made me feel complete; no longer did I feel the void that had consumed my entire childhood.
And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
--
Hearts beat fast
My fingers danced along the keys on the piano, intertwining mine with her tiny ones as I taught her how to play this tune.
Colours and promises
The twinkle in my eyes mirrored his, as I sung to him.
How to be brave
Her soft voice melodiously echoed in the room, a smile taking over me involuntarily.
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall?
The rhythmic tune of the piano soothed him and softened his features, a slight yawn escaping his serene face.
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt, suddenly goes away somehow
I looked over at Avni and smiled.
Gazing at Neil made my heart skip a beat.
One step closer
I kissed Neeti's hair.
I pinched Vivaan's soft cheeks.
I have died everyday, waiting for you
I smiled at Avni as I carried Neeti in my arms, thanking her for this perfect family she blessed me with.
I picked Vivaan up and placed him over my shoulder, walking towards Neil.
Darling, don't be afraid, I have loved you for a thousand years
She made me happier than I ever thought I could be.
He made me happier than I ever thought I could be.
I'll love you for a thousand more
She put Vivaan in his crib, and I put Neeti down too. Glancing at the two little angels who completed us, I hugged Avni from the side, placing a kiss on her forehead.
I pulled myself closer to Neil and smiled proudly. A small peck on his lips and a mere I Love You was uttered; but it said all that which needed to be put into words.
And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
