පාර්ලිමේන්තුවේ ඉන්න මැති ඇමතිතුමන්ලා
අපේ සල්ලි අරන් යන්නෙ පාටි දාන්න ශැංග්‍රිලා private room වලට
ඒත් අපි ලාවට බියර් එකක් ගහන්න බාර් එකට ගියාම
බනිනවා රෙදි ගැලවෙන්න Stay At Home කියලා මීඩියා එකට 

කොරෝනා එකෙන් රට හොඳට කොරවෙලා මිනිස්සු මැරෙන වෙලාවක
ස'ර්කියුලර් ගහනවා වත්ත වටේ ඉවෙන්ට්ස් ඔක්කොම බෑං කරන්න
හැබැයි හවස නිවුස් එක බැලුවොත් හැම චැනල් එකේම දාන්නේ
ඕපනිං සෙරමනි රට වටෙම

It's funny how life changes...

Things that were once important aren't anymore.

People who were once your world aren't even in the picture.

But just as sure as the moon revolves around the earth,

The ones who truly matter will always find a way to be around.

I’m sorry that I get lost in my head so often… It’s not like I have any control of it, It literally has a mind of it’s own! Every time I try to escape It turns into a maze that keeps on expanding and growing. Even though I try to to make my thoughts sound philosophical, They hardly ever make sense and most times aren’t even logical! I guess that’s the joy of being an over-thinker, You never know when your mind decides to go on an adventure!

Our love

Our love doesn't complete us,

For we are both perfect and imperfect in our own ways.

Our love makes people look at me and ask her why him?

But the people that matter the most already know why.

Our loves has molded us to better than we would ever be alone,

And it will keep on evolving as we grow older.

Our love isn’t the kind that you’ll read in a book or see on TV,

Does that kind of love even exist?

Our love goes beyond just me and her,

It includes everything and everyone that we share.

Our love isn’t always rainbows and sunshine,

It’s a hot sweaty mess just like most of us living on this island.

Our love makes no logical sense whatsoever,

But it's exactly what we need and that’s all that matters.

I'm scared of heights.

There, I said it.

Heights make my stomach queasy.

So do elevators

Especially when they jerk around,

And the lights flicker while making weird noises…

Yeah, that shit freaks me out.

I guess I've watched way too many horror movies.

But if I'm so scared of heights

And climbing is something I hate doing,

Will I ever make it to the top?

You know, climb up that proverbial ladder.

Will I ever be able to to reach new heights in life?

Or will I crash down to the bottom,

Like I've fallen so many times before.

Pieces

There I was, holding the pieces of my heart in my hands,
Not sure how to glue them back together,
So many people tried to help but it never really helped,
The picture was different each time.

There you were, holding the pieces of your heart in your hands,
You looked more composed than I did and I never would’ve guessed.
But when the floodgates opened the darkness started seeping through the cracks,
You were lost no matter how hard you tried to cover it up.

There we were, trying to put the pieces of our heart back together,
We knew we were broken beyond repair and were trying to recreate an old picture,
Something that we were before our hearts were shattered into a million pieces,
Trying to get back to who we were before although we knew that would never happen.

Here we are, traveling down the same path, the light at the end of the tunnel hazy,
The only light coming from inside us and guiding each other on,
Picking and pushing each other on every time we fall, trying to survive another day.
As long as you’re there and I’m here I’ll be okay because this is where we’re meant to be.

Will I leave a mark on the canvas,
Or am I a mistake that will be painted over?
Was I a place that you visited,
Or a pit stop to your destination?
Was I like the ocean waves that crashed into the rocks,
Or was I a gust of wind that blew through a bustling city?
Will I get a mention in the dedication,
Or will I be a whimsical footnote that you jot down just for fun?

Pain

Pain, it's like the sun that makes a glass of cold water so satisfying

Nothing worth having or experiencing comes free,

You have to put in the work to achieve it,

Or you’ll never truly value what you have in life.

Pain, the yearning for someone or something.

Whether it’s at your fingertips

or it’s on the horizon, too far for you to see

The feeling is still the same.

Pain, the currency the world operates on

But will never understand.

You’ll never truly feel somebody else's pain,

Just like nobody will feel yours like you do.

Pain, the catalyst to what comes next in life.

It can be the reason for either success or failure,

The clay that can mold your success,

Or pave your path to destruction.

Pain, the reason we all exist,

Life is pain and pain is life.

It can act as your guiding light to victory

Or it can be the darkness that swallows you.

Pain, who's really in control?
Will you let it define you?
Or will you define how to channel the pain,
What's your verdict?

Good things are done with the bad intentions
While bad things are done with good intentions.
Sri Lanka, the land of the brave and kind;
People should follow the consensus,
You can't have your own opinion,
Cause that's the wrong one.
You can't criticize people,
Cause the good always makes up for the bad.
Good and bad,
Light and dark,
Hero and villain,
Soldier and terrorist,
Life isn't either this or that.
The world we live in isn't black and white,
There's so much in between,
Which sadly most people don't want to see.
I guess that's how they justify their actions,
In their narrative, they are the heroes,
And everyone who disagrees is a villain.
Because at the end of the day,
History is written by the victors.

Coffee

Waking up to a message from you was like waking up the smell of coffee in the morning,

You picked me up and kept me smiling the whole day with just a few words,

A few words that told me that you cared,

A few words that told me that you wanted me to be happy,

A few words that told me I was your first thought for the day,

But as the years went by that sweet message never came,

It was more of a glass of cold water splashed across my face,

Sweet words replaced with status updates of where you were.

The magic was gone, feelings were replaced by an update,

The magic was gone and things had settled into mundane.

The change wasn’t one-sided, it happened before we knew it,

Things went from sweet and caring the comfortable and convenient,

It happened so naturally we never saw it coming like a storm on a sunny day.

Before anyone knew it, things changed to just another couple and not the couple.

How fast things could change, in a heartbeat everything was never the same.

The chapter is over but the book continues like nothing really happened at all,

Sure there were some changes and feelings our heroes had to deal with,

But the plot thickened with each page and chapter, it all added character.

But a single tradition lost in between the twists and turns our hero still remember,

Something once caring and loving became cold and routine but is still missed still the same.
