Loneliness: the Gentleman
Holds the door open for me,
Shows me all the chivalry;
Wraps around me in the silence,
Refuses to leave even towards the end;
As the summer heat strikes,
Relieves and burns as the much needed ice;
As I fall apart,
Picks up the pieces of my heart;
As I bloom,
Reminds me about the days of gloom;
As I become pale and cold,
Stays with the promises of together growing old;
The one who made me believe in forever,
And in the promise of staying together;
Always stays by me side,
Deep in my heart it resides;
This loneliness is such a gentleman,
Does the best one can;
So calm and divine,
In it my solace lies.
