Where I Belong

Just one more step...one more step, and I'll be with you, where I belong...

The world appears as a shade of grey. What is there to admire? What is there that is beautiful? Nothing...nothing....everything has lost its colour...why? It used to be so vibrant...so, so beautiful...yet now, the landscape is as barren as this heart.

What changed? Now and then...where's the difference?

Your presence...your existence...it's not here anymore. You're not here...

In this hardened heart, you planted a seed, and you watered it with your tears. One single bloom bursting with life, yet too quickly wilted...all because you left suddenly. The landscape became bare once more...this time far more acutely...

Cruel, aren't you? Like a painter creating a masterpiece, but striking the eyes blind...you came with a promise of fulfilment, yet you left behind a greater emptiness. What can fill this gaping void now?

Yet you haunt these memories....your voice, your smile, your light.... No rain in here...no salve for wound...no time, no sense of anything, really...

A whisper riding on the wind...your voice? It couldn't be...but...

Your voice is getting distant...you're drifting away again. Where are you going this time? Don't leave...don't leave....

You are standing there, just out of reach. You smile...it is so strange, how everything else is grey but you. One step at a time...closer, closer... Now you spread your arms....asking for an embrace. Are you lonely? Are you cold?

The world dissolves...nothing but you now...there is only one more step. A single tear rolls down your cheek. Why are you crying? Yet you smile...then you whisper something softly to the wind.

I jump, and you embrace me with open arms.
