~

Your essence is so embedded within my soul,
Thick bloodstream I tried to heal pushing you away.

Desperately my vicious heart I ripped out,
So I could tame my pain and set you free.

It didn’t turn out like I thought!
I became dormant… but only for a while.

My heart only got even louder screaming for your name,
Seeking memories of how it felt like to be yours,
Bleeding over your possible grave,
Regretting not being selfish for our love,
… for risking it all…

There is no safety in love.
Life is so short and fragile now so...
Craving for your life, craving for what we had,
I needed to know how deadly were the damages.

… Somehow…

Not too soon, but never too late…
The stars restored their lost constellations,
Nature guided you back home.

… Finally…

Gold and Silver might blend again…

perhaps,
I’d be gazing the horizon
perhaps,
You’d walk towards me
perhaps,
I’d miss a few heartbeats
perhaps,
I’d avert my eyes to catch a li’l breath
perhaps,
We’d hold hands for the first time..
perhaps,
the waves would slowly touch our feet
perhaps,
wind’d be messing up our hair
perhaps,
we’d try to take it all in
perhaps,
You’d say you went to come back
perhaps,
You’d have come back,
forever….
perhaps,
it’d seem like a happily ever-after
perhaps,
I’d be writing a poem for you
perhaps,*
after yet another pang of longing!
