From moment to moment
There's an idea that keeps rising in my head.
To love you once and hate you a thousand times
To leave you for a lifetime and to colonize inside your heart and settle in there
forever.
From moment to moment,
I see the same conflict repeating itself repeatedly
And no one have done that to me like you did!
Your love is like death and childbirth.
And vice versa.
This is how I see you,
capable of breaking all the rules of boredom and monotony.
You allow me to drift from my sorrows and run away looking for your arms where I
could rest my heart
And where safety and comfort all belong!
How could it be possible to see myself switched from hell to heaven within less than
24 hours?
How could it be possible to rain in the morning
but the sunshine comes right after the last drop of rain gets poured out on my face
while digging a hole through my veins?
what's your secret?
I wanted to check your strange composition and what from what it was made off?
But I haven't found any explanation that logic can accepts, until this moment.
How come you use my wounded words and turn them to your favor to heling us
together?
Your body language doesn't even give me a clear sign whether I should travel
among the climates of your spontaneous pain until we unite and become one?
And can we manage it to be one?
Can we survive one another?
Can we correct the pathways of one another if one of us gets lost?
Does any of that make any sense to you?
Can we live and die inside each other today, without getting tired of repeating the
same mythical cycle over & over?
Could this be us?
And this playfulness, make me feel losing myself every time I think of you,
every morning
every night,
every afternoon
every winter
every fall
every heated summer,
your smile mysterious smile is calling for me to chase it,
Oh, how on lord I can escape from you?
I know well how to escape from myself so smoothly even in my best moments
but you are different,
the greatest theory of my entire life that I can't seem to find a solution for,
call it lust,
call it wildness,
call it a curse,
call it madness,
call it happiness,
call it sadness,
call it fun,
call it boring,
call it insanity,
call it profanity,
call it a deadly addiction
Because you have no idea how painful your presence in my life is
And how joyful to seeing you living inside my skin
But no one's seem to be there for me to help me
I can't get you out of my way
I can't get you out of my head
I can't close my eyes
You live inside me,
No one's able to see you,
You are the invisible I prefer keeping all inside of me
You are the visible to the public view who plays it cool and innocent
Yet, how can I change you and turn you to an evil in front of everyone's eyes, and
win
Your innocence all for me?
Why you so hard to catch?
Why you tend to be always like a puzzle that it keeps getting harder and harder to
resolve?
Until when this play is going?
Until when I must suffer with you?
Until when we fight to approve, we are good enough to the one another?
I'm in a downward spiral of endless thoughts about you
These thoughts that come to me in the darkness whispering your name repeatedly
pointing out to my heart, and the heart begins to beat for the sake of your shadows and full presence ; for the sake of your limited-edition words that I couldn't find them with anyone else
expect you.
Few words can play a major change in someone's behavior and transfer them from the dark to brightness...
Yes, I am like what you are seeing now.
I'm in a downward spiral of endless thoughts about you
I know you see me now,
I know you feel me right now,
But from where?
Where are you?
You are everywhere and anywhere and nowhere all at once.
And I am not giving up on you.
I cannot give up on you, and I know that I live inside you
You have carried me like a traveling luggage on purpose to keep me following you where you go in my dreams I saw how have you done that .....
in my wake up calls you have done that
And I'll keep longing for more to come with you and whiteout you I will be no
longer existed in this materialistic life
you are my past, my moment, and my future
So, I hope you are listening to my words from somewhere
wish I could do more about this situation
wish I could the impossible to make you closer to me
and even closer to the breaths I take
my breaths that have become meaningless without you
come back to me again and make me live the moment, and tomorrow again with you
I wish I could find you right now, but where are you?
Where are you?
Still looking after you
Still looking around everyday restlessly
And I'll not stop waiting for you forever...…!
Forever.
