Onwards on the Race of Life

My heart flutters when you’re near,
Onward on the race of life;
No one knows if you’ll be mine.

Another year passes by,
Morning to dusk every time,
Onward on the race of life,
Umbrella of yours, hiding us from the,
Rain of time.

Seas could not match my blue, but
Arisen by you in me, your
Ruby hues,
Thank you for saying that you admired me,
Hopefully that lasted and you haven’t forgotten me;
An abyss in which I lie,
Kindle a fire, so we shall not freeze in the darkness of the
night.

I imagine a life with you, then without,

Lest, I lose you or you go on a different route,
Onward on the race of life;
Velvet you lips are, and your soul an,
Esther in my eyes.

You looked at me that day, in your eyes a feeling I could not
place;
Onward on the race of life;
Umbrella in your hand and in your other, mine.
