Oh I wanted you from the start



I met you, yesterday.
And you were in my mind, today.
Your smile won me over,
and my heart wants it forever.

When your eyes met mine
they drew a love line.
Since your mouth said my name
I am not the same.

You were in my mind.
You were in my heart.
But you left me behind.
Oh, I wanted you from the start.

You had to leave.
You had to forget.
You said you will regret.
But for me, It's hard to believe.

They say love is blind.
They say a soulmate is hard to find.
They say distance fails in love.
They say It's easy to love.
But how can I unlove?

Every day I waited for your calls.
Every night I waited for a crime.
I waited for you when the night falls.
I will wait for the next time.
