In my dream, I saw myself in your eyes where cold waves hit your shores. I saw peace while lying down on your golden sands. I saw us in the warm night, breathing the same sweet air. When I was awake, I spent my nights drunk without a single sip; just thinking about you was enough to make me high. I wanted so much: to touch your stars in that warm night, to drown in your cold ocean gaze, to feel your breath on my face, to hold your hand tightly forever. I was so blind to see things in front of my sight, when your smile burns every little piece of mine. I lied; lied to that child who is innocent and foolish. I lied to him every night: "Someday, she will see the same dream as you." After a long dream, the child has opened his eyes; opened the innocence that held his eyes closed. I can't stand how foolish I was, when I finally see you have your own dreams— dreams where i have no place. I hate to know I wasn't really there for you; while your eyes saw me your heart not. And I looked at her one last time with a smile, as if looking at my executioner. In sorrow, knowing that the dream ends, knowing I can't ever feel your embrace... What a fool.

Smiling at My Executioner
In my dream, I saw myself in your eyes where cold waves hit your shores. I saw peace while lying down on your golden sands. I saw us in the warm night, breathing the same sweet air.
