For many years
I was walking alone along this path of life
But, suddenly today someone wants to walk with me,
stay with me...
But me,I don't want that
because I haven't lived life to the full
But, no, the person doesn't agree
I try persuasion
but the person just stands and stares at me
Maybe torn, like me
There is regret in my eyes
There is a limit to faith.
From that boundary
we gaze at each other
This life goes on
as we still try to persuade each other.
