Sarasawiya Seethala Haduwakin (Naa kapana Anora wessaka)

A cold breeze once kissed your cheeks,
and our memories glowed, bright like stardust.
Tears followed silently, ones I never wished to shed.
Why did you leave me behind as if I had wronged you?

That day, when thunder cracked through an Anuradhapura storm,
you held me close while we stood at the bus stop.
We stared at the sky, waiting for the rain to pass
like we always did, like it was our unspoken ritual through lifetimes.

You blocked my number, cut off all contact.
Did I do something so wrong to deserve that?
If even a small part of you once loved me,
would you meet me once more, just one last time?

Maybe I doubted you more than I should have
only because I feared you’d disappear from my life.
But tell me honestly
Was your first university lesson how to leave behind the one who loved you?

The song tells the story of a young love that began during university days, full of warmth, shared habits, and emotional intensity. It begins with a bittersweet memory – a cold breeze brushing her cheeks, reminding the singer of moments filled with laughter and love. But now, those moments are only memories, and the person he once loved is no longer by his side.

A vivid memory surfaces – standing together at a bus stop in a sudden storm. That chaotic moment, soaked in rain and thunder, becomes symbolic. It was a snapshot of their closeness and their pattern – always waiting, always together – something that felt eternal.

But now, she’s gone.

He’s been blocked, ignored, cut off, and left wondering what went wrong. Did he do something so unforgivable? Was his love too much? Or maybe, he was simply too scared of losing her, and in that fear, he became overbearing.

The most powerful line strikes at the end:

“Was the first lesson you learned at university how to leave the one who truly loved you?”

This isn’t just heartbreak – it’s sarcasm dipped in pain. It hints at how people grow, evolve, or drift apart during university years, and how the very place that brought them together also gave her the tools – or the freedom – to walk away.

A haunting recollection of university love that ended in silence, where the singer mourns the loss and wonders if letting go was her first lesson learned.
