Like an ink stick blending slowly under the rain,
You took my heart and made it melt between your hands,
For I had you in my skin, you, my heart and soul.
Love is a story written by two people's ink,
But paper could never contain the love I had for you.

Here I was, lonely, endlessly longing for you,
But you, like a shadow, you just threw me away.
Now I really know that I meant nothing for you.
As useless as all the ink I wasted for you,
Our story is now a dusty book on a shelf.

No matter how much I could have waited for you,
You never shared you ink, just drew it out of me,
It came only from my heart and never stopped spilling.
Like a fainted love, lost droplets of ink on paper,
My endless love cut my heart and let red ink fall.
