Moonstruck

Ephemeral

10 | Nov 03

we rode a boat and stayed in the middle of nowhere,

holding each other while sunrays are kissing our faces,

exchanging stories as your head rests on my shoulder,

watching the sunset as the light, is slowly fading away

we stayed from dusk till dawn, not worrying where we are

not worrying about tomorrow 'cause what we have is now

but the storm came, slowly, we drifted apart

I couldn't figure out your muffled screams,

you disappeared into the depths of the sea

you have found the shore while I was still drowning

I let myself sink into the water, til I touched the sand

there, was buried the dreams we once promised,

I lost you, but we escaped and I was able to breathe

pain subdued, far lesser than what we had there

my heart searches for you, but I didn't look back

'cause nothing is left but waves of memories.
