I woke up with a smile which my brain almost forgot the codes to bring up,
I was feeling happy unknowingly and was waiting for my mind to interrupt,
Strangely my brain was quiet, i felt myself lost in a state I'd never been,
The room was completely red as the curtains struggled the sunlight in.

I felt the time had stopped and the earth ceased to rotate on its axis,
I thought maybe i died, maybe i ended my life like others, depressed in the times of crisis,
'woke up!' someone mumbled, my heart quivered as the voice echoed in my ears,
I felt my eyes drizzle as her smiling face greeted me, or maybe my fears.

My shivering body did calm as she wiped my tears,
I was happy that tonight when I cry there will be someone to hear,
It took severest penance of my life to impress the divine,
I was blessed with the boon to steal one evening from the cycle of time.

Our eyes talked years in a moment like it had been our past life,
The room turned dark after a while, just to let her face shine like a star light,
Pure as water she was, cleaning my memories of time,
Tender as a feather was her body, slowly intertwining in mine.

That night I begged the stars to change my fate,
I prayed with all my energy for the sun to rise a little late,
I held her tight so I could feel the movement of her body as she breathed,
As the sun rose, a last time we kissed and from the moment my existence ceased.
