Are you still looking to be friends with time?
Discovering home was always in your heart?
Might be on the streets you once tasted the dust
Could be the boring toy you fiddled with
Inside her hair, hidden from your curiosity
Remember the mud pouch you found the worms in
How brutally refreshing the rain was
As I wander around the memories clueless
I see a compelling authenticity
Moments holding ages, captured in my fist
Growing up was never your forte
It was honest compulsion, a way of nature
A product of habit, bordering the extremes
Hey mother, when did you get the creases on forehead?
Father, when did we stop singing together?
Time has made me learn to not count breaths
Just feeling them is enough
Distances which help me dream and imagine
All that I could never speak
An entire world slips away from you
To arrive in a new one, absorb!
Mortality was always a gift
Takes a lifetime to grasp it
I thought solitude was the answer
But we came here to love
That will always be our purpose
Breathing in the enormity of these feelings
I don’t question the intensity anymore
Farewells will always be gut wrenching
Don’t question the human in you,
Love defines overwhelming
Let it consume you willingly
Time has a limited track for us
It is fair in an unfair way
Again I lose myself in the memories
And I discover you all
And I discover me.
