I Lost Again

"...I will die from missing you..."

I Lost Again

O darling, I lost again and again
one hundred unfolding nights
and I am already longing for
the last days of the harmless magic
Being married to a stranger
would create an illusion of the
love journey we once had
upon the soundless falling tears
I will be back to fear the dark
following my undesirable culture
Of my father's footsteps as I
try to forget about us
After the rain, I will be a refugee
falling to the other side of the sea
escaping from my private space
with hope to see you soon
I will die from missing you,
As I remembered that you are
the queen from the night's sensation
and sweet dreams of pleasure
My heart beats so miserably from
The moments I smell your scent.
The faces I meet with nowadays
I lost again but won beautiful memories
