I walked down the street
In search of you
I crossed the path,
the buildings and the stores
But I could not find you
While I was searching you
I found myself
We sat on the roadside chair
We talked for hours
and shared our thought
"Whom are you looking for?", he asked
"I am looking for the love of my life." I replied
"I think you already have that." he said smiling a bit
"Why did you say that?" I asked curious to know, why?
"Don't you love your self respect?
Don't you think your selfrespect is everything you want?"
He replied looking right into my eyes
I didn't blink even for a second
As I had nothing to say
I was lost in my thoughts,
Thoughts that said he was right,
that whatever he said was totally right.
So I found my self respect
Which I was lacking behind
And now that I've found it
I won't be searching you
Now you are free,
Free from every promise you made
Though they were fake
Now that I've opened the knot
You are free to go wherever you want
Cause I found my self respect
Which I was lacking behind.
