Banyan Tree

Hey Old Man,

I wonder how you are.

It’s been five years,

Since you picked my call

I don’t know how you look

but everyday I feel you in my blood

I don’t know where you live

but you are never gone from my heart

I dial you again, though you didn’t answer the last…

If only you will pick my call,

I will tell you,

That I never let you down

Though there wasn’t ever a thing that you asked of me

But I know it will make you see me as who I am, what I have become

May be we can find it now,

The one thing that you and me never had before

If only you will pick my call…

I won’t question the past, for it is past

I won’t complain about what is gone

I won’t ask you to give me anything

As I do know, that my house isn’t your home

But hey Old man,

Just tell me do you think of me?

Do you feel the rush of blood calling my name?

Do you wonder how I am and where I have been?

Tell me for once, do I mean anything….?

If only you will pick my call…

I promise I won’t cry

Even If my heart shatters at the sound of your voice

I will hold still, I won’t let you pity me

And you will only hear my smile!

If only you will pick my call…

I want you to know

That my eyes are like yours

Sad and deep

That when I smile

It reminds me of your laughter, carefree

That even though I don’t have your name lingering at the end of mine,

But in my mind

I say it every time

Someone takes my name!

If only you will pick my call…

It won’t be long, just a minute or few

Don't tell me you will return my call

Don't put me on hold, 

For you need to know

How much we are alike,

it surprises me.

Just take my call, 

For you need to know, 

the pencil you gave me when I was five

It still works like new

And that I held on to it, all this time.

If only you will pick my call

I want to tell you

I wonder if we will meet again

When I look at someone your age

It worries me to think of your health

I know you have grown older

And time is not trustable

I fear losing you,

I fear losing what I never had …

If only you will pick my call

So I am dialing one more time…
