i fell in love with a toy maker

who treated me as a doll

and built me a doll house

as pretty as glass menagerie

until someone tripped it over

and shattered it to pieces

so i had to change houses

and leave this toy maker

then i went around the globe

'n' fell in love with a painter

who painted me galaxies

and sparkles of the stars

thus painting me all over

with colors, dreams 'n' scars

until i fell in deep waters

and all the rainbows on me

dissolved in those waters

to leave me all transparent

and more vulnerable

so i had to find a better shell

and leave this painter

this time i went to the cafe

'n' fell in love with a writer

who wrote love on my skin,

injected poetry in my veins,

and for scribbling our story

he took all kinds of pains

until the dense sweetness

of his fleeting alphabets

made me catch diabetes

so i had to find a good cure

and leave this writer

i checked at the hospital

and fell in love with a doctor

who could understand

the language of my heart

with his pretty instruments

'n' get the burning of my skin

by merely looking into

the redness of my soft eyes

until his patients had to face

lazy neglection on his part

so i had to think about them

and leave this doctor

i walked into a studio

'n' fell in love with a pianist

who adorned my soul

with the soft symphonies,

melodies and harmonies

and sweetly kissed my core

with the play of his fingers

over the black 'n' white keys

until i fell in love with 'grey'

so i had to find moderation

and leave this pianist

then, i went to buy a watch

'n' fell in love with a clock maker

who stopped the time for me

and made me feel immortal

by showering lacy eternity

all over my low existence

until i came to realize that

death is an inevitable truth

that can't be avoided at all

so i had to embrace mortality

and leave this clock maker

dejected, i sat at the station

when i fell in love with you

as we boarded the train

to the skies and beyond

while they chased our heels

fruitlessly and in vain

'n' there never came an 'until'

for there's no end to wanderin'

so i fell in love with you

'n' i don't plan to walk away

for the wanderer inside you

has finally made me stay
