May I speak with you?

Do you remember those gentle words

That marked our journey of togetherness

Where flowers bloomed in colours of joy

In the eternal garden of love

Do you remember those gentle gestures

That spun our moments of expressions

Where birds cried in echoes of wonder

Sitting in the wish fulfilling trees of passions

Do you remember those gentle glances

That tied our hearts of oneness

Where songs were sung by angels of pure

Standing in the peripherals of light

Do you also remember your parting words

That shattered my world of innocence

Which made me wander without you

With a broken heart that could never be fixed

You may not remember this rain of course

That connected me once when I cried

Where my soul felt stillness in my coffin

What with my life laid to rest already

You may not remember me though

I wait for a moment of your glimpse

To say a word of my love of eternity

May I speak with you, my darling?
