My boyfriend went to Kasuli last year, and left me forever because of an accident there. This song was sung by him on my birthday, where he hugged me for the first time. I cried that time in his arms and now whenever I listen to this song, I feel his warmth around me. I still remember when he started crying while singing this song.
People leave but memories don't❤️
