People
who will change your life
Will
sing so many songs with you
With
broken voices that are so out-of-tune
And
occasional bursts of laughter
And
the shared discussions of lyrics
That
will be forgotten one day,
But the people who will always remain.
People
who will change your life
Will
be like ghosts in a haunted house
Because
for the longest time you’ll think they’re there
But
they never will be
And
when you fall, you’ll try to grab hold of them
But
your hands will pass right through
And
the illusion of their existence will tear apart.
People
who will change your life
Will
build you up as they break you down
So
they’ll pull out the worst in you
And
clean the wounds that hurt since long
And
it’ll hurt so bad you’ll hate them for it
But
you’ll never be the same again
And
then you’ll love them more than you ever thought.
People
who will change your life
Will
also make you fall in love with them
Without
really loving you back
Sometimes
they’ll do this by mistake
Sometimes
they’ll laugh as they see you in pain
Sometimes
it’ll hurt, sometimes it won’t
Sometimes
you’ll be the one causing the heart ache.
People
who will change your life
Will
be kind and sweet and with the brightest smiles
And
they’ll share a part of their soul with you
That’ll
urge you to become a better person
And
they’ll be the ones
Who’ll
make the world look less scary and more lovable
And
you’ll never be able to thank them enough.
People
who will change your life
Will
change it without intending to do so
And
you’ll change their life too
More
than you’ll ever know.

Thank you, Diwita! Good to know you liked it! :)
DeleteP.S- My favorite verses are 2 and 5! :P
its strange isnt it how people who you never knew affect you in some ways, and then again the people who you see everyday and the ones who you have grown used to suddenly seem to have given you so much that its only time that could have washed away the intensity of that change? thank you, for sharing. its lovely. :)
ReplyDeleteTotally! This poem is for the people who have not only changed my life, but who have changed me as a person. People who have helped me grow through either tears or joy. I'm grateful to both..and well, everything is lovely! :)
