So many years have passed by me
Twenty of them to be exact
But never have I felt so special
Or maybe I didn't convince myself about that.
Twenty years I had to wait
To realize the fact that I'm noticed
At least once a year in abundance
By a few special people in the midst
I haven't let these thoughts sink in yet
As that's a lot to pull through in a while
Even happiness can be overwhelming, I've learnt
And the proof is nothing but my smile.
For another beginning, you all wished
That may my life be whatever I want it to be
But let me say this one thing today,
My life with you all is exactly what I need.
Today, tomorrow or the day after
I know you all will be there with me
As our ties are slated forever
And forever is the one thing it will be
Still, underneath all this exuberance
I have a fear building up rapidly
Where circumstances pose a threat
That seems in so many ways, beyond me.
No matter what, I wish for this one thing
Let these people stay in my life without any trails
Because they are mine and they are what I need
And without them, nothing in my life seems worthwhile
Another path has diverged with challenges new
And I'm all set to walk down upright
Walking along with the only best friends I knew
Holding their hands and my head held high.
The new life has begun
And I'm having the time of my life
And right now…one thing is for sure
With you all…I'm always alright!
