Male: ...have never forgotten you.
Female: Oho!

from now on, fresh shoots will bloom.
The heart knows that I...
I have never forgotten you.
A wound on the hand
is just an illusion made of lies.

The wound in the heart
will heal once we reach our bed.
Behind Krishna is Rathi,
Female: and behind this Rama is Sita.
The heart knows that I...
I have never forgotten you.
Over there, the red sky smiles,
teasing my cheeks over here.
Male: My dear, if my lips touch them,
they will blush even deeper red!
Female: One kiss when you ask for it,
Male: and a thousand without even asking!
The heart knows that I...
I have never forgotten you.
Let a love like this continue,
Female: your touch brings joyful memories.
Male: Ahahaha...
Let beauty blossom in the eyes,
Female: let the heart swoon, take me into your arms!
Male: Let sweetness like this grow,
Female: tell me, can loneliness ever return?
The heart knows that I...
Male: Aaha...
Female: ...have never forgotten you.
Female: Until now, it was autumn,
Male: from now on, fresh shoots will bloom.
The heart knows that I...
Male: I have never forgotten you.

Writing craft

Poetic devices

Metaphor (Uvamai)

“Idhuvarai ilaiyuthirkaalam / Inimael thalir vidum kolam”

Autumn (ilaiyuthirkaalam) symbolizes past hardships or separation, while spring (thalir vidum kolam) represents a new beginning filled with love.

End Rhyme (Iyaibu)

“Malarattum kankalil azhagu / Manam mayangattum nee alli thazhu / Valarattum idhu pol inimai”

The suffix '-attum' repeated at the line endings ('Malarattum', 'mayangattum', 'Valarattum') forms Iyaibu, emphasizing wishful expression and lyrical rhythm.

Alliteration & Rhyme (Monai)

“Angae sevvaanam sirikkum / Adhu ingae en kannam pazhikkum”

Use of similar sounding words ('sevvaanam sirikkum' and 'kannam pazhikkum') creates melodic rhythm and poetic harmony.
