Hello.../...Goodbye To Us

So eloquent the beauty absorbed around you; You uplifted me by your sweet aroma. Oh, I'm very sorry to say, That day in May caused a breath to pay. You stole my heart away And cured my parading heartache; Only if I'd known what would have brought that day, Then I'd have hidden and gone another time. I felt plagued and wanted to die; As a lover would take a shot for you, I'd dodge infinity for you. Yet only a stranger we both were, I'm here writing this letter swollen with a million tears of heavy cries. Maybe it could have been fate that we unofficially met; A destiny resulting in both loss and gain. A second's glance is certain to be the catch, Since here I stand alone in the rain. A passive reflection of sorrow illuminates from the scar; My heart begins to beat slowly in rhythm with my eyes. The ticking of the clock abruptly stops; "I know you're up there," I finally whisper …….smile
