The lips I used to kiss long back
now smile back
from behind the bonfire.

Those eyes I used to dwell into for hours
now play hide and seek
with my short glances.

I didn't expect to see you tonight
beneath the naked stars
After all, I had abandoned
the memories of you long back

But maybe fate
has given us a second chance

I can feel the butterflies flutter
faster than ever before.
And I sing our song with
the cracklings of the wood
and my old guitar.

And you rest on your arms
dreaming into me.

As everything else fades,
everyone else disappears.
I am in love again
as I sit across you
behind the bonfire...
