Foolish Love

In shadows of darkness
 Your silhouette I can’t erase
 In my dreams and in the mirror, it seems I see your face
 On the ground and in the sky
 The clouds embrace your shape, so do I
 But you’re not on my mind 
So why does your face leave a trace?
 In the coldness of my breath in the gaps of every space 
This could be a sign
 I hear you in lullabies 
I would rather sleep standing up 
Then in your contour on the bed
 Tears drop my eyes even when you’re the furthest from my head
 Maybe, I traded my heart for foolish love, I must let it go
 Praying that your face can finally fade
 Alas, leaving behind lonely whispers in the wind to serenade
