I am but a man and like many men,
I too want to be loved by a woman,
A woman, who knows me by intuition,
And becomes my best companion.
Daphne, my first love, was one of a kind,
She and I dreamt we would find,
The blissful spirituality of true love,
But then, cancer came, left me behind.
Now her memories keep me going,
When I am awake and even while sleeping,
I have searched the world many a time,
To see if another Daphne could be mine.
This world is filled with beautiful women,
Pretty and sexy, with innate wisdom,
But not one like Daphne could I find,
So, how can I leave my past behind?
Didn't Majnu* go mad pining for Laila*?
Didn't Shireen* long for Farhad's passion?
Didn't Heer* miss her beloved Ranjha*?
Then how can I forget my la belle?
