He stands before me
with a pulled up face
but still I gaze
Is it something I did? I question
As though I am one just before detention
What have I done wrong
for he who I know for so long
soulfully i dont want to feel the next morrow
I'm on a road that's narrow
but here love shot with cupids arrow
As salaam wa alaikum
I murmur under my voice
in case my words are the wrong choice
He looks me in my eyes
Kasam, they tell no lies
but even though his upset with me
He still says Wa alaikum salaam
