Time flies with the wind
that erects the hair of our skin
When I was the first one to ask,
your yes said "begin!"
But when your turn at last arrived,
My naive mouth refused to speak
I felt the same wind August had contrived
The truth stayed tucked within my cheeks
That this whole game I'm playing on
outplayed my whole life down
Woke up one day without the love I felt
before I drowned
We fell apart at the same place
Just two lobbies away
We left our cards untouched, untorn
Just too weary to play
Time flies with the wind
that dictates our prayers
When our minds were preoccupied
We told ourselves we wouldn't care
But when a mutual friend
became our messenger
The words we heard about each other
talked of cold apologies
We're nothing but two strangers
erasing memories
The events after that,
we know nothing about
It's true, atleast for me
Wrote another chapter of our lives,
this time we do it separately
Because we fell apart at the same place
Just two lobbies away
We left our cards untouched, untorn
Just too weary to play
We both lost the game
we both went our ways
I didn't say the words
I always failed to say
We know that your question
silenced both our hearts
Now we walk without direction
Now we're mending all the parts
Yours with a name the same as mine
Mine with a pen writing its rhyme
Except that it turned out to be
a fragile craft you'd love to see
When on the winter of two thousand seventeen
You can't resist his gravity, so
We fell apart at the same place
Just two lobbies away
We left our cards untouched, untorn
Just too weary to play
We're too weary to play
I'm too weary to play
