Crossing Bridges

And what do you do
When you reach the other side
To only realize,
That it was just a tide.

May be the choice was wrong
Or your faith too strong
But now that you've come here
What do you do?

The lover's last kiss
Which would die with time
While you stand on the other side
Was it even worth a dime?

The worthiness of it all
You'd say it doesn't matter
What about the aching heart
Does that not shatter?

I know you've been there
I know what they say
It's easy, move on
I know what all goes on

You pick yourself up love
And light your own fire
For the bridges that weren't meant to be
Can always be a pyre

Pyre of a wrong decision
For which you've been forgiven
You loved with all your heart you see?
And you do not deserve misery!

May be you knew it all along. May be I did too. May be I didn't realise it. May be I couldn't bring myself to realise it. Or believe that it had come. That final moment where you'd give up. And I'd give in.  You see it wasn't a fight. How could I hold on when you'd given up. On me. On us. On everything we'd built together. A foundation of love and affection up into smoke. Just like that. That precise moment when you could see the light beyond darkness. And I was too ignorant to even open my eyes.
