तोड़े गए सारे पुल एक दिन लौटकर पुकारेंगे तुम्हें

पुश्किन की किसी कविता का जिक्र कहीं पढ़ा था जिसमें उन्होंने कहा है कि पुराने पुलों को इस कदर तोड़ देना चाहिए कि लौटना चाहो तब भी न लौट सको। फिर ट्रैसी चैपमैन का एक गाना सुना कि जिन-जिन पुलों को तुमने तोड़ा है, वो एक दिन लौटकर आएंगे और तुम्हें कचोटेंगे। चाक-चाक कर देंगे। जब भी मन उदास होता है, यह गाना दिमाग में बजने लगता है। बोल भी पेश हैं और वीडियो भी।

All the bridges that you burn
Come back one day to haunt you
One day you'll find you're walking
Lonely

Baby I
Never meant to hurt you
Sometimes the best intentions
Still don't make things right

But all my ghosts they find me
Like my past they think they own me
In dreams and dark corners they surround me
Till I cry I cry

Let me take this time to set the record straight
Let me take this time to take it all back
Let me take this time to tell you how I felt
Let me take this time to try and make it right

But you can
Walk away
Be all alone
Spend all your time
Thinking about the way things used to be
If love feels right
You work it out
You don't give it up
Baby

Anybody tell you that
Anybody tell you that
Anybody tell you that

You should take some time maybe sleep on it tonight
You should take some time baby heed the words I said
You should take some time think about your life
You should take some time before you throw it all away

I ain't got the time
To sit here and wait around
But I got the time
If you say
I'm what you want
