I remind myself of a foregone past,

a swept shore, by a tidal wave,

I remind myself of fulfilment,

I remind myself of satisfaction,

I remind myself of pink,

but the flowers on your grave.

I console this beating drum inside my ribs,

I try to hold it back, this pain,

I don't try to ponder,

I don't try to think,

I don't let darkness cover my vision,

but I can't fight the rain.

Going away is just a part of life, I suppose,

And you were not the only one,

I tell myself, people go wrong,

I tell myself, I should stay strong,

I tell myself, you were a storm that quietened,

as I fight the blazing sun.

We lose it all, someday or the other,

curbing fear, pain and astonishment,

I have your memories in the frame,

I have your heart, that can't be tamed,

I have it all, it's all the same,

but it's you who's gone, the embezzlement.
