by JB Nuique
I think I can sing an elegy for you now
Or maybe write a beautiful story of your broken vow,
Because I have thoughts and this feeling
That I can't hide because I'm drowning.
Do I have the right to be this way?
To think of you almost everyday?
When I know we came to our end;
When I can't even remain as a friend.
I can't stop crying for you and for us.
Letting you go is just the worse.
I hope one night, a shooting star passes by
So I could wish to move on and bid goodbye.
Or maybe I could wish for my tears to be frozen
Because I know I won't see you comin',
To save me from this marvelous madness—
Our love that turned into a ravishing sadness.
