_
different paths,
different lives,
tell me young love
how did we ended this far?
you used to tell me everything,
you used to do anything,
but how come now,
to you i am nothing?
I've lost count how many times
i counted the stars each night
waiting for your return,
until numbers lost each meaning.
i was waiting.
i was hoping.
i was longing.
it turned out i only waited for nothing.
but then i couldn't stop time.
i couldn't defy the laws of nature.
you drifted away little by little,
inch by inch, without me noticing
until you were no where to be seen.
it's been five long years of ashes and burns,
of broken promises and shattered dreams,
it's been five years
of could-have-beens and what-ifs.
but when will i ever learn
that our souls have only been entwined,
and it will never be joined?
I thought our love was worth to keep,
but then it left me just to weep.
How come love didn't warn me
that this cursed fate will ruin me.
And yes young love,
we were only two wandering souls,
doomed only to happen
but never to call each other home.
