IF YOU PLACE YOUR HAND ON MY CHEST, CAN YOU HEAR IT?
THAT ISN'T THE SOUND OF A HEARTBEAT. IT'S THE SOUND OF YOUR FOOTSTEPS, PASSING THROUGH THE ALLEYS OF MY MEMORY EVERY NIGHT.
I LOVED YOU BEFORE I EVER SAW YOU. AND WHEN I DID SEE YOU, MY WORLD SPLIT IN TWO: BEFORE YOU, AND AFTER YOU.
BEFORE YOU, I WAS BREATHING. AFTER YOU, I BEGAN TO LIVE.
I WISH I COULD STEAL A MOMENT FROM TIME.
THAT ONE MOMENT WHEN YOUR GAZE, UNGUARDED, FELL INTO MINE, AND I WAS LOST IN YOU FOREVER.
I WANT TO FRAME THAT MOMENT, HANG IT ON THE WALL OF MY HEART, AND STARE AT IT EVERY TIME I MISS YOU.
I DON'T KNOW HOW TO LIVE WITH YOUR ABSENCE.
LIKE A FISH TAKEN FROM THE SEA, I STILL THRASH IN THE DREAM OF
WAVES.
WITHOUT YOU, EVERY POEM IN THE WORLD IS UNFINISHED, EVERY SONG IS SILENT.
COME, AND SAY MY NAME ONCE MORE.
LET ME SEE IF I CAN STILL COME ALIVE JUST FROM HEARING MY OWN NAME ON YOUR LIPS.
