| When he touched me | B |
| The place was crowded | C |
| So nobody saw it | D |
| - | |
| The month was October | E |
| The day was Dussehra | E |
| I wore my favorite skirt | F |
| Of that time | G |
| - | |
| That skirt was gifted to me | B |
| By my mom on my birthday | H |
| It was a short skirt | F |
| With beautiful embroidery | B |
| And I loved it | D |
| It came with a fancy red top | I |
| And I loved it too | J |
| - | |
| I was so excited to wear it | D |
| And see how it goes on me | B |
| And yes | K |
| I was looking pretty good so I loved my look | L |
| - | |
| We were ready | B |
| So we head for the place | M |
| And honestly | B |
| That was the most crowded place | M |
| That I saw | N |
| At that tender age | O |
| - | |
| I was eight | A |
| So my height was not that high | P |
| And I was unable to see | B |
| And that's what annoyed me | B |
| Until I saw a divider | E |
| So yeah | Q |
| I stood on it | D |
| It wasn't very high | P |
| But it was enough I guess | K |
| - | |
| I was thirsty | B |
| So a stranger bought water | E |
| For me | B |
| And I took it | D |
| Because you know let's not forget | R |
| I was only eight at the time | G |
| - | |
| My family was | S |
| Some three steps ahead of me | B |
| So both them and I thought | T |
| That I am safe | U |
| But that was so not the case | M |
| Thinking that I was safe | U |
| Was a big mistake | V |
| - | |
| That creepy stranger | E |
| Who bought me water | E |
| Came so near to me | B |
| Now his hands were | E |
| Touching my body | B |
| Over and over | E |
| - | |
| First his hands touched my hands | W |
| I thought that it's ok | H |
| What's wrong with touching hands | W |
| So I thought | T |
| That it was ok | H |
| - | |
| Then his hands | W |
| Touched my legs | X |
| So many times | Y |
| I tried to stop him | Z |
| But he told me | B |
| That it is ok | H |
| - | |
| I wanted to scream | A2 |
| But I didn't knew | J |
| That at a time like this | B2 |
| You have to scream | A2 |
| So I didn't | C2 |
| - | |
| His hands were coming | D2 |
| Closer to my skirt | F |
| Actually his hands were | E |
| Under my skirt | F |
| - | |
| I hated the way he touched me | B |
| It was a feeling of disgust | E2 |
| That I can never forget | R |
| - | |
| I don't wanna go any further | E |
| Because the Dussehra was over | E |
| I was relieved that it was over | E |
| Because something worst could have happened | F2 |
| If it wasn't over | E |
| - | |
| From that day | H |
| I started hating that dress | K |
| Now that skirt | F |
| Was no longer beautiful for me | B |
