To Justin

Come here good friend And slowly tilt your head rest it on my lap for as long as you want . I was not aware that you were so sad And I wish you have told me how tiring it was To force shine ,in the darkness of your eyes. To plant a fake smile each time , just so nobody feels bad . From the Last time when we met, some things give me sorrow . Not been able to reciprocate your feelings is the one that I most regret . But I didn’t want to lie, not to you my sweet guy . So , I left your car so abruptly . Was I wrong ? Now , when time has no more hours for us to borrow , I wait for the moment when with the flickering of a flame you tell me not to worry . You were sent to save me once , remember ? And we both failed to protect me and when I reminded you we both laughed so hard . Great people sometimes leave prematurely wounded in their soul , they manage to walk straight so nobody sees the pain caused by each step . I light a white candle for you , I save my tears for my room . Just come to me in my dreams , lie down right next to my soul. I’ll run my fingers through your hair and properly say good night . We will both lament what was not fair . and I might hopefully walk you towards the light.
