ALMOST LOVER
-karenina


I see you on the swing at day break,
The tears in your eyes you can’t fake.
I can almost hear your weeping soul,
Seeing you like this, my heart burns in coal.

The swing is your release, you are so high.
I remembered the time you said you wanted to fly.
“Say I’m a bird, say it!” I didn’t want to,
For me to come back, everything I would do

All I can do now is look at you from here,
I wish you would forgive me from not being near.
I will be your bird, flying by the swing where I see you all the time,
Remembering all the times we were together, sublime.
