It's been so long

Since we wrote each other

An answering song

I miss your voice

Singing duets

A voice lost in mystery

Will you just be

Forevermore

A name

Penned in the pages

Of my history

I know you roam

The by lanes of my heart

Venturing out

When you think nobody's about

But I hear your footfall

Turning corners

Of our memories

In the night so dark

We never found

What we were looking for

In the ancient maze

Of an almost love

And we fell

Through the cryptic veils of time,

Let illusions pour in

Let insanity reign

Mirages of trapped breaths

As we drown once again

In the bitter-sweet floods

Of anguished, love-torn rhyme

Even if it's a fallacy

Let me believe, for a moment

That you are mine...
