Solace

I miss you

But to even think of you is a grave mistake;

The sunset is closing in on us

And we have no choice but to part towards an indefinite night,

Never knowing when the sun will shine on us again;

They say I would just have to take solace in the nightingale's song

But how could I?

When I got used to watching the skylarks with you?

Life has its way of teaching us lessons,

And mine came in the hardest and the saddest

But my heart just never learns;

For even if I close our chapter with a promise of farewell,

My heart keeps looking back for traces of you;

I still keep fragments of our memories in my mind,

And like a lost child, I throw pieces of them along the way

So that maybe, just maybe

If my heart yearns for you too much

I can somehow find my way back to you -

To us.
