Fleeting

Will you watch the next sunrises and the rain at dawn

With me, with hopes of tranquility, with nothing else to yearn for

The smell of the sea that dampens our senses

And that sweet nothingness, that cold emptiness

That tears the chains inside apart, pulling us farther from our selves

And closer towards being together, of days to think of us, of ours

Bit of a thought, if ever you cannot return, or I'm not found

Keep on your sails raised and your boat afloat

Move towards the land where you'll be welcomed with warmth

And let me be cradled in the arms of the welcoming forever

You may send tears and I may bite my lips and whimper

But do know as much as I want you to remember

I wish that you won't, that we'll just be memories buried

Let it be the fluttering heartbeat of the soil where you stand

As I watch you grow older and as I fade away from your mind

May the last thing you think of is yourself that time

The fleeting moments were enough to appease my hunger

Of us, remembering ours, you and I with hands clasped together.
