May 2018
Beyond the furthest hills I gaze
Stuck behind the misty haze
Hoping for things I will not touch or see
If I could I would skip this phase
Struggling even to get a salary raise
A feeling that cannot be described by any phrase
Yet I am here, stuck without you

Is there any sweet scent from a rose?
Are there twelve months in a year?
Does the week begin on Sunday?
Does the sun rise in the east and set in the west?
Are there twenty-four hours in a day?
Because I am still caught in that moment
Yes it is a confused confusion

How does my heart beat without you?
Your foot-steps are the rhyme to my melody
The sweet love song now so sour
I stretch my hands and try to reach out
I feel like giving in as the tips of our fingers only touch
My heart killed by the comfort of time
I am so breathless

Here without you my love, my heart
Far apart like the east from the west
Swelling tides bring nothing but nostalgia
The words ‘I love you’ are now a stranger so familiar
You have no address because your home is my heart
The angel of my destiny
The only shining star in my world

When are you coming back home?
So we can build our family day by day like Rome
Without you life is a mere emptiness
I feel like a vagabond in my own world
Here without you is a rhythmless song
Without you, life is a confused confusion
Just like the swallows remember home

My mind is so full of you
Without you I am like a plane without a pilot
A singer with no voice
Please come back home
I am the king and you are the queen
I am a lone pole in the midst of the dessert
Stuck without you

I am waiting for the phone to ring
The cork to crow
The emerald dove to coo
The light knocking on the door
And maybe someday say I do
Come back and rejuvenate my life
Because life without you is not life

Remember the day we met
The first hug and kiss
How slow time travelled when we were apart
Jumping parapets just to see you pass bye
I miss those days so old
It is not a black mail of some sort or psychology
The truth is I am lost without you
