Are we there yet

Are we there yet

Eyes talked, lips trembled

And yet, speechless it was,

You understood, I understood

And yet, we did not zing

Why,

Why you did not

Why,

Why I did not

What hindered us,

What made us clay statues

Is it fear, or is it shyness

I do not know

I really, do not know

Do you know,

If yes, please tell me,

Do tell me

I need to know

And now, we meet again, after seven winters,

Have we evolved from the shyness

Can we make things happen,

The way it was meant to be

Or keep it the way it is not meant to be

Are you there, the same person

Who hinted me,

Yet, you were afraid

to speak your heart

Am I there, the same person

Who hinted you,

Yet, I was scared

to speak my heart

I need to talk

You need to talk

For it to happen 

Are you there, to talk

Because I am here, to talk,

You are here, to talk,

But am I there, to talk

It gets confusing

It does

Who will be the first to profess

There has to be one,

There has to be one

Do we still feel for each other

Or we have our souls meant for others,

sometimes it just a fraction of a second

for love to blossom,

Sometimes it takes decades

to meet the right soul

are we really meant for each other

we do not know

Why, Why,

Will we be there for us

Time will tell

Or we will tell

Are we there yet,

Are we there yet
