Tonight as I lay down under these endless skies
There were certain things I’ve come to realize
That it’s already been a year since you first set my heart to veer
Now if I were to tell how our story went
I’d say that from the realm of strangerhood in a Cartesian plane we were sent
Two opposite lines that were bound to intersect
Or at least at that fateful moment, I felt we connect
At that time, stars were aligned
Chains were casted for hearts to bind
And to account for each time our paths have crossed
To our skies a checkered plane is what we have tossed
Forming a constellation of smiles and avoided gaze
Of an illusionary friendship and uncrossable space.
As one side of the hour glass was slowly drained of sand
Consequently, chances were slipping off my hand
For me to get to know the better of you
And for me to show how much you’ve meant to me.
Truly, time is a **** for it screws everyone
It is a monster that pities none
But today, I will let myself be its prey
For I know after the exalted day
Seeing you would be an improbable dream
And someone’s world will surely dim
Tonight, I will let the stars do their job
The empty darkness of the night they will rob
For they will illuminate this verse to you
These last words I’ll offer you.
