Your eyes embody a dream
Which I wished must have been real.
But nothing is more real than a dream
Dreamed with a whiter shades of pale.
There, I feel your whispers, your touch,
Your gasps. As if it is our last. Blasts
Of light invading our thoughts, lifting
Our souls beneath the pit of our beings.
For this moment, let us forget who we are,
Who we were, where reason and love
Collide; because this is a world we've built
So we can hide. Be calm, just drip.
For Ms. Jinky Tubalinal, my girl, my woman, and my friend.
