Petrichor

reviens

i won't say, that it is everyday

that you cross my mind, no

the walls I've built, I can only hope,

will be enough

to keep thoughts away.

sadly, on summer days, when the sun's too bright

i can see you squint, against its glare;

i try not to, but-

but you feel so near.

i've always loved rain, more so

with you,

holding hands under the drenched skies; gay

now the sky's so dull,

too grey.

christmas nights are the worst

i still hear you sing-

from a thousand miles away, our happy song

but with the stars crying.

it's unfortunate that we could only meet

and not stay,

like we promised each other;

guess promises are only worth remembering

when they are not kept.

two lovers separated by the fate of time-

consequences only born of lies,

too stubborn to own up,

crying in a bed of dead roses

every night.

god forbid, i love you

like I've never before, and i-

hate myself for it so much

no, it's not how it was supposed to be, because-

i was supposed to be happy?

you were too, but i see you so sad

why did you leave me?

if both of us can't stay apart?

for lovers we are, and lovers we'll be

and if things are to begin-

for us - i'll be here

to let you in.
