On that fateful day, when I happened to run into you
Marked the beginning of a new phase in my life
Years gone by, filled the air with your absence
Couldn't take it in, I drank my tears
To quench my thirsty throat from hurting
Having made sobbing and wailing a soul-mate
Recalling how wonderful you made me feel
Each minute of the day reminds me of the bitter truth...
Gone too soon!
How I dreaded that!
Getting you off my mind seems impossible
Getting on with my life seems abortive
You are a shadow I can't run from
You are stocked with me, though I can't see you
I was a lost sheep with no hope of survival
I was a kid, full of innocence
And my desires, incapable to be met
Only shallow truths I know of myself
My dream's shattered
My hope's battered
My focus's hampered
And my heart's crushed
I dabble in a rusty scrubby cranny
My body's so weak and scrawny
Life's been a lesson
And your memory's been a blessing
I could count the heartbeat of my heart
No doubt knowing that I am scared
Losing you has been nothing but a scar
Whose message I couldn't read to apprehend
Though my heart's broken into pieces,
Your memory's mended it anew
Under my pillow, I see you constantly in the mirror
Shining your brightly colored teeth right on my face
I smiled back at it,
Trying eagerly to reach my tiny fingers to your face
But then, you left once again!
