our poem
Last night, I looked back at my old self
my old weary and pretentious self
Traces of emptiness constantly flashed,
cold and longing
I always pretend I have someone with me
When in fact I only had faces,
Faces drawn in the sand, at the edge of my sea
Never really had someone I could call mine,
And then there was you…
Thought you’ll just be another face
But you turned out to be my fate
Basking under the sweet and rosy sunshine
I lace my fingers around yours
Seeing you smile makes my day complete
Warm air fills my lungs
as your breath touches mine
No longer feeling cold
as your embraces become my refuge
No need for pretending because now
my heart finally found its abode
I look up in the sky
as I utter a short prayer of gratitude.
