I loved a flame that flickered br Burning for a moment so bright br With a promise of lighting my life br A joy of love at sight br But before I realized br It flickered and died... br br I loved a flower that fluttered br With such rich hues, so bright br Heady fragrance that stirred... br Its perfume lingering through the night br But before I realized br It fluttered and died... br br I loved a song that faded br Playing music with my soul br A sound so sweet, it invaded br my senses, and it stole br But before I realized br It faded and died...br br Renu Rakheja a.k.
