I stop dead in
the middle of the road,
Turn around and try to smile.
You look strong.
I – fragile.
You look at me and smile.
You say goodbye,
Waiting for me to leave –
I desperately want to cry.
A smear of sorrow
Fills my heart with an ache.
Nothing can make you stop me
And I know my heart will break.
You stand there motionless.
Don’t want to let me go.
I can see it in your eyes,
But you won’t say it, I know.
So I try to walk away.
Two steps and I stumble.
you too see that without me
your world shall crumble.
So we stand there forever,
You and me,
And smile at each other
For what seems like eternity.
Nobody else can read our silence,
Only the brazen sun
That shines over our very own
Vertical horizon.
