Natoma


Time and distance blurs the image of a love you can’t forget, Feeling a love no longer mine. I’ll swim to your lighthouse. From far away, I still see your shine. But breathing isn’t easy when the notions are too heavy. Missing you like melodies in my head, it never skips a beat. So what do I do when I hear your song? Do I dare not sing along? Even though I know the words won’t change? It’s okay I don’t need them to. Because even as of now that you’re not here. I climbed mountains of houses every night just to see your face on every leaf, On every branch, On every tree. And just say your name. ~Ms.Me≠Mr.You
