A beautiful mind.

Lost in translation

Title : Lost in translation 🌸 ( Contrast & comparison between childhood & adulthood)

Across this retrospective mirror 
Clean , cold & consuming 
We sit centuries apart 
Holding our souls still , between us.

Simple light carefree 
humor builds your 
young toothy smile . 
While mine seeks reasons
to arrive and stay.
You fail to dissect less & more ,
 so you treat love with acceptance.
Years of maturity have taught me to count currencies of effort
leaving me to wonder if
I am loved enough .

You carry your heart on sleeves to keep it sane enough .
And between the cycle of forgetting and forgiving , I hide mine
to keep it safe.

At this passageway of life , between arrivals and departures ,
you've become a permanent memory of who I used to be.
But like the skyline to a new day I keep on seeking , floating , changing , evolving.

I speak out ' alive' & you turn up. 
I murmur ' lost' & only I remain.
Aren't we the same , 
You & I ?

In me ,
You are lost. & In you 
I still exist.
