If only I had known,
The rules of the game.
I wudn’t have strived for
Love, money or fame.
If only they wud have taught me
What counts?
Instead of how to count.
If only they wud have taught me,
It’s important to make a life
Instead of making a living.
If only they would have taught me,
That I m the same as the sun & the moon.
& this life is a boon.
If only they wud have taught me,
All that glitters is not gold,
To make money, I wudn’t have sold my soul
But still there are dreams to be realized
& promises to be fulfilled.
There are memories to be cherished
& wounds to be healed.
So, I wud start it
All over again
One more time….
Coz winning & losing is just
Part of the game.
If only I had known,
The rules of the game.
I wudn’t have strived for
Love, money or fame.
