No Me Ames

Am I leading him to the dark alleys of my heart?
Am I risking his freedom to live?
Why, heart… why now beat for him? Why here?
When all I’m prepared for was the right moment,
Now all I wish, this moment is the right time…

I ached so deep, I bled… as I murmured profanities,
I ached again, and I shed so much of these tears…
Then hollowed became my core,
Only to be filled with so much longing…
So much that I blamed the hands of time,
And I cursed the distance… as I refused to breathe the air.

I watched the columns withered in time…
I watched the autumn passed so smoothly
And the breeze foretold an early winter
Drying my lips, and cheeks, and skin…
As I traversed the distance alone in the middle of the night.

No me ames… no me ames… no me ames.

Hello, stranger…

That face you hid beyond the blur
Now fronts a yearning stare…
Beneath the foggy breeze I braved
To hear your lines… amused…
Then seconds flew like swallows,
As your medley rouse my thoughts…
Your stories echoed in my head…
A rerun inside my room.
And I wept… Not of sadness,
rather, because of longing.

How can a stranger like you
share bliss with me like this?
And I believed… and hoped… and dreamt…
As I tore silence with laughter
Mocking the minutes to fade away
So I’d be home to watch your face
And you’ll never be stranger to me…
as I, no more, to you.

Hello, stranger…

Will we ever meet some time?
And if there came a day we meet,
Will, then, our feelings rhyme?
