One last goodbye. He waved his hand at her and soon after, she turned around and walked away. From that place and from his life. The only place where she remained, was in his broken heart.
The beautiful light turquoise sky was disappearing behind the granite grey clouds. He sighed as he slowly walked away. One more moment here and he'll lose control over his emotions. He walked and walked and walked. The road seemed to be endless. The destination was nowhere in sight.
Yun hi bhatakta hoon ab raho pe,
Manzil ka koyi ataa pataa nahi
Kahi jaake karoonga bhi kya,
Dil toh main chhod aaya wahi
He felt the heavenly pearls gliding down his skin. The earthy scent made it's way up his nasal passages. He closed his eyes to perceive this comfort of nature but instead, she appeared in front of him again.
Aankhen band karu toh wahi chehra saamne aajate hai baar baar,
Woh hasti khelti aankhe,
Woh pyaari si muskuraahat,
Wohi toh tha mera sachha pyaar
A smile made it's way to his face. He slowly raised one of his hand but as he was about to feel her rosy cheeks she dissovled into the misty ambiance. His eyes opened and frantically started looking around until he realised the truth. A single drop escaped his eyes.
Jab bhi uski yaad aati hai,
Chehre me pe ek dard bhari muskaan si aajati hai
Mai jitni bhi koshish karlo,
Lekin do chaar boonde toh tapak hi jaati hai
His thoughts drifted back to where they shouldn't have had. Why is he always the one to suffer? Is he not worthy of love? Did god hate him so much that he made him fall in love with a person who couldn't even think of loving him back? Even death would've been better than this cruel punishment he had gotten.
Yahi toh hota hai ek tarfa pyaar,
Jo insaan ko barbaad karke rakh deta hai
Na woh uska ho sakta hai aur na woh usko bhula sakta hai,
Woh puri zindagi bas apne toote hue dil ke tukdo ko samet'ta reh jaata hai
Shera, his name, which meant lion, brave, courageous, fearless but right now none of these descriptions fit him. Yes, he was still a lion, but not the valiant, daring, dangerous one but a wounded lion. They say wounded lions are stronger and more dangerous but this time the wound was too deep and he was too exhausted. So there he, a lonely soul, stood on a lonely street trying to accept the bitter truth.
Sachh toh yahi hai ki woh chala gaya,
Sapno ki dori ko kat gaya,
Dil ko tukdo me tod gaya,
Aur mujhe adha adhoora chhod gaya

Also have I ever told you, how much I hate the fact that the Shera track still hasn't gotten any proper closure. If CVs are really that cruel to make Shera and Malhar two different people, then I really hate them .
