Alone

 Tonight, I’ll not cage my fear

And probably wish that you were here

So I could tell you how I feel

Because life has just made me kneel

Oh how I loved my cheek against your lips

And those hour long city-wide trips

Your touch never lost its shine

Back when life and fate were doing fine

Maybe you were the cage

Keeping the door to my fears close

I guess I’m still too young in age

To do all of it alone, I suppose

 

Oh how I wish my ears would be blessed

Listening to the heartbeats in your chest

Today, that life has turned upside down

I wish I could still have you around

Have to live without my soul, I don’t know how

If you were here, I could really use a hug right now

Maybe ours was the story He wrote on sand

And the tide comes and washes it away

Where unaware spectators just walk hand-in-hand

And believe that things would be okay.

 

About love and emotions they talk much

But they don’t tell you a lot about physical touch

Because my heart will carry a piece of you indeed

But who would I go to when I’m in need

When I’m scared or excited, whose arms would I hold

Looking back at today, this is the story untold

 

Life will soon go on, it has its own ways,

But all the days that follow, would be unremarkable days

Be it your room or your car, or our spot near the lake

When I remember you, I’ll have that heavy heartache

He who writes our tales should give us more time

Ending stories so abruptly must be a crime

You would want me to go with my life holding my hand

But where once you stood, how could it stand

I won’t hold you up, I hope you find bliss

Wherever you are, I hope you’re seeing me like this.

To those clueless spectators, I hope you consider

Time, love and touch are castles in sand, and nothing is forever.
