The ongoing back vocals echo expresses how much pain and sorrow takes place in their love story. Her blanched face struggles to express her disappointment and hurt yet the visible definition of her belonging to him is running his arms colliding with his heart and exploding in his soul..She looked back at him with all hopes up high not to be hurt once again. Little does she know that what he thinks by gazing at her, reciting those exact words.. When I die I wish to comeback as one of your tears, not to make you cry rather wishing to be a tear of happiness. Looking at her he repeats these word eyes that long to see you, ears that yearn to hear the echo of your name, a heart that beats to love you, a spirit that dies without you, All i have done since I knew you is fall in love many times but always with you and you only. The finale revolves around an upbeat of the orchestras to deliver the message in a high spirit. Love is never without some thorns. Perfect love sometimes does not come till you are past the storm.. It closes its curtain on portraying these exact words: Shaped by the past creating the future, together they are stronger than ever. (ISAR analysis by F.S.H)
