Traces

The love that ends leaves traces, why not? Even in the great desert, Troy, Samothrace, On hot sand and mint tea, see it On the blue oranges, on the green moon, Love leaves traces in the eyes, traces Even in the streets of Manhattan, He leaves traces in the worried coaches, see it Among the camels in the Wadi Rum, The love that ends leaves traces, why Not? Caramel, marshmallow or chance, see it Even in the Pacific Ocean, “help” trees cry out In the Laotian Islands, even in Honolulu, We see it.

Love may end, but it leaves traces that cannot be rubbed completely out, either creating painful memories or sad thoughts . Rightly said Yaan.
