Eternity

Three - Forever

I hid behind the tree as I watch her walk down the road

The café has been the place she frequents every night

She will sit by the window and orders a cake and her coffee

Her eyes will have that faraway look and then a wan smile will follow

It's been years since that fateful night, and everything changed ever since

I told her I have something to tell her because I know she was still unaware

Despite the things I do for her, despite how I show what I truly feel

I know that it wasn't enough, and so I needed to tell her my heart

I was already in the café, waiting for the beauty who owns my heart

I was excited yet nervous as I wait in our favorite place by the window

But then I hear something outside, a commotion and there were a lot of people

My curiosity dragged me there, and that's when it all began

A prisoner on loose was being chased by the cops that same night

And it was his knife that stabbed me on the chest, and soon I was on my back

I was seeing nothing, hearing nothing, and feeling nothing

I was about to give up and rest my case, but then I see her face, my beautiful angel

When I opened my eyes, I felt stronger than before to which I cannot fathom

But all the confusion was temporarily alleviated when I found my arms full of her scent

She was shaking, she was crying, she was saying things I cannot yet understand

But despite all the blurriness floating in my mind, I feel grateful for I was finally holding her in my arms

A hundred and twenty moons, never did I miss a day to watch over her

I left her so soon, the only thing I regret from all the things that happened

As I followed her figure leaving the café, I felt a cold presence behind me

I turned and abruptly felt better as I see her sweet smile she offers just for me

The cold night wind touches our faces as we run together hand in hand

Every night we roam the city together, every day we lie in bed together

It's sad that I have to leave my little sister, but I have my precious beauty here with me

At last I can hold her sleeping figure against my chest, I can say that I'm looking forward for this for eternity
