ACHES [Wattys Winner 2015]

You deserve to be loved again

We chose curtains together,

We planned the interior,

We argued about colours,

We sang songs of love together.

We were comforted in our own cocoon of bliss,

We were perturbed by our need of personal spaces.

But we made it work,

At least, for sometime.

As close as I came to you,

As close as I saw deep inside you,

You felt an urgent need to run,

You felt an urgent need to push me away.

I know you have been through,

The agony of separation before,

And that is what makes you,

Run clinging to your breath the foul past.

I know it is difficult,

I know you didn't mean things,

With all my heart I have loved you,

So I know, and I am still waiting.

Waiting for you to give up,

Fighting with your self,

'Cause baby! you deserve, you really do,

You deserve to be loved again.
