QUOTE : Nothing stays<br />I’ve come to understand<br />that even my slightest breath escapes- <br />flying between leaves<br /><br />nothing stays<br />this will end in piles of smoke<br />with all my tears swimming on the floor<br />they are so delicate like a flower <br />can they swim?<br />will they survive? <br />like wet paint that never gets to dry<br />so your footprints fade<br />washing our memories away<br /><br />don’t be sad<br />I’ve heard we were one of the lucky ones<br />that’s how it is, now<br />I, alone, writing poetry <br />painting your face inside my mind<br />and you happy with someone else<br />in some unknown place<br /><br />maybe it was not our time<br />maybe it never was<br />maybe we gave all we had<br />maybe we hid more<br /><br />maybe nothing's supposed to stay <br />maybe all you were to do<br />was to make me into a poet.
