I could have become a heart beat
That reminded you of our existence
I could have been those words
Which flow from the heart and takes shape of a poem
But alas, I’m late by five years

I could have entered your dreams
And you would have given me a role
To play your lover within your closed eyes
Travelled with your from moonlight to the crack of dawn
But then, I’m late by five years

I could have been the one
Who handed over to you a bunch of red roses
Without letting you know about the thorn
Piercing my lucky hands
But you know, I’m late by five years

I could have ruled your thoughts
And played around in you mind
You would have shared with me
What you share only with yourself
But unfortunately, I’m late by five years

I could have been the mirror
Which never gets smashed for telling the truth
My reflection could have been yours
And you could have been my shadow
But see, I’m late by five years

But then ain’t I lucky that I found you
And got few moments that will be cherished
By me for years to come
Those nights and days that knew no difference
So what… If I’m late by five years
