I saw you don't you remember?
I saw you,
you had this walk that was so smooth,
these eyes that pierced through me like bullets penetrating the heart of a soldier,
these holes that you gave me,
they don't bleed anymore,
they stopped,
well until,
until I saw you again,
I run and run to you,
but with every step I learn of what I thought was impossible,
it wasn't you,
it was your enigma veiled over a man that i thought was you,
his every move, in my eyes, was yours
I had given him your voice, your smile, your ambition, I had given him everything,
and yet there was something that was already there,
it was in his eyes,
they said it all,
your eyes and his were so alike because I saw the fact that he had never known me,
the only difference was that he never had to erase,
erase me, us, everything we had,
in both of your eyes I had never existed,
so even if you don't remember me,
I'll carefully fold, like silk, your enigma and place it where it belongs,
and when I find man's eyes that say they love me and they won't let go
I'll veil it over him,
and pretend that he is you
