Your Return

The silent soul tears the night,

there are no stars in the universe,

even the sun had vanished,

my heart is inured to your memory.

Still I’m not afraid,

each sunrise brings me hope,

anticipating of your sudden return.

How much I hate our long good-byes!

How much I wish you could stay in one place,

without speculating where you’re going to be next.

Oh, I thought it would be easy

trying to forget about you,

but I found out, it’s hard to do.

It’s stronger than I am –

and it’s controlling my life.

When you're away

your memories are chasing me,

not letting me be.

I live with a love that drives me crazy,

it grows unknowingly and immensely.

I wish you knew how much you affect me.

Still I’m not scared,

of what the future might bring,

the anticipation of your sudden return.
