Worlds Apart
What if i change my name and forget yours
And count the syllables that spells yours
And let the number be number of lifetimes I'll never forget you
But forgetting that now he has you
Justifying the reason I left you
Poems I wrote for you
Words I shared with you
Thoughts inspired by you
Moments captured of me and you
Dreams burnt leaving no ashes
Empty as a doubtful wish
Urges that torn and ripped your moral leash
But still, reality can't grant me that one wish
To take the left and right hand of time
Turn them palms-outwards
Grab your world and pull backwards
To whence we were one part
And bridge that distance, 'cause we are now worlds apart
Can I defer our hope and be doubtful of your promises
Or have faith in my doubted promises
Eyes kept on the ground high above our feet
The past tickling the soles of our feet
Pain whispering to our presence so sweet
Maybe in another world we'll meet
Maybe you'll bear with my understandable impatience
And love be of the essence
As time remain unconditional
Our emotions will stop being subliminal
And we won't have to wait
'Cause hearts will only bend,not break
Remain as one part
Because I'm weary of our worlds being far apart.
What if I become mute and decode your words as you speak
Since only your words knows how much truth you speak
I would understand your unintentional intentions
And share all of our unseen visions
But I see how all these can't happen
You and I are worlds apart
