When Had You Been Close To My Heart

When Had You Been Close to My Heart -Lyric                                                                                                  
                                                   
        “When had you been close to my heart? 
         I could not recollect! I could not recollect!”
                      
         ‘Is it easy to forget dear one,
        if deep passion be really shown?'
                                                      
        With glamour of blooming youth
        romance and love turned prime truth
         Up above colorful sky
        Dreams flying soaring high
        
         “When had you been close to my heart? 
          I could not recollect! I could not recollect!”
                                          
        Together some time we might had spent.
         That was not my priority. 
          Was it needed to glorify,
          such a trivial event?
          
         “When had you been close to my heart?
        I could not recollect! I could not recollect!” 
                                                      
         Time passed by; time passed by
         Pride of youth faded to die
        Suddenly it flashed in mind
        Reminiscences to rewind.
        
       Once you stared at me piercing core of heart 
        raising dark dreamy eyes, as I was to depart. 
       just blushed with a smile, soft polite
       when my passion was about to ignite.
      
        “When had you been close to my heart?
        Yes, I can recollect. Yes, I can recollect.” 
        The precious moment!
        Lost forever, I lament.
        Pearl of dolor left behind. 
         Precious time so unkind.
                                               
        “When had you been close to my heart?
         Yes, I can recollect. Yes, I can recollect.
