Where are feelings?
Do they burn like cigarettes
And leave us to ashes on the floor?
We'd start the journey together,
Through highs and lows,
Through the tough times, through the moments, what no one knows.

Time flies like a butterfly.
But where is the pixie dust?
That they sprinkled on us, while my soul rested on your ribs.
Shocked and lost -
Like a man in a desert who spots the mirage every now and then ,
Just questioning himself, "When will this end?"

A last wish,
Your soft kiss.
Hearts all flattery -
Your touch sets me on wildfire -
Your sight makes me wanna jump into your lips' sinful waters.
Keep holding me like there's no human existence, around us.
Leave me stranded,
And then run back to catch me,
When I fall off from this cliff of losing you.

Every second, those polaroids -
Your coat on my skin, tears in my eyes,
When did this breeze of loneliness started blowing on us?
When did you leave to dwell far, so far
From this planet, from me?
Hands so cold, scars on my hand ;
Does reality hit so hard always?
Or is it me, who is like a vagabond -
Living in this unconscious mind of being alone.
