Feet waltzing on each other
Silently, in embrace
Surrounded by the twinkling cups and pans
Wrapped under the orange hues’ gaze
Lights dancing in your eyes
The night melt
Away in a memory
Away in haze
through forgotten love
i opened up the drawer
searching for us in the moment
distilled in time
finding us in limbo
frozen in the glass castle
suddenly you appear
take a look
you are always there
and I’m free
tipping over the hour glass
pellets of sand
turn into dust
stamping down
1,825 of 24 hours
meeting you at 18
you going away at 25
me alone at 24
In the record
for the record
i winded back
i skipped the part
where we take back
back to the day I crept up to u
where u crept into
the chamber of my heart
listed properties
where’s the tenant
missing resident
i put back
back in the drawer
drawer of us
to walk
walk down the path of me
parallel to the path of u
may we one day
wave hello as we meet alongside each other
in parallel
one last time
i glance back
to send u off
in the tidal waves
shouting into the trees
forests of drowning noise
lines of people
hidden in the crowd
drowning this quivering voice
the cascading teardrop
“i miss u”
” where r u”
“do u miss me too”
Drowning in “why am i still thinking of u”
is it the quarantine
or is it the denial
or
maybe, just maybe
it is a sign that love is right around the corner
that this is the last stretch of this bus ride of forlorn old love
time to alight and walk over to the next street
the other neighborhood of new beginning
the dawn of new love
