Y.O.U.


And through the whole wide world I flew,
As if that's all I had to do.
I wandered over everything new,
And learnt things I never knew.
Alone over moutains,
I mused when I could.
Over oceans far and deep,
I stood still when I could.
I had a little peep,
Through all those forests deep.
I glided over sand,
Of deserts and shores alike.
I was always on the move,
Like those riders on their bikes.
And in all those solitary moments,
Which I can say were not few,
I realized I had to come back,
I had to come back to you.
And so I headed home,
Thinking all the way through,
I had to go around the whole world,
Just to say-I love you.
