A lonely island
Sat there on a lonely island, a girl named Rachel
Unvaryingly in love, oblivious to its ephermal nature
Lost track of time for it was a fleeting creature
Longing for peace in life with a complete stranger
As pure as driven snow, as passionate as sin
Love was an uncharted land for Juliet from the very beginning
She had been bent and broken but never to win
Finally life gave her something for yearning
Perhaps, this time the fate would deal her a different hand
And the glimmer of hope might just never set
She awaited the serendipity of life, oh thou have some pity
Let her wash her hands off life’s duties.
Although she lost again but this time it was perhaps to win
For a summer love is never a timeless being.
It was not about love and not about hate
Just a lesson she understood late
Too blind to see, too deaf to hear
The awakening of life is never dear
Not once had she seen life as such a great teacher
Sat there on lonely island, a girl named Rachel.
