You better go


I see you on the balcony in the morning

 

Oh no! How do you know I am here?

 

Are you not afraid?

 

If anyone sees you? 

 

The dark fog gradually became lighter like clear water

 

I see you up close

 

That's the same, vagrant indifference in the face

 

How are you?

 

You were supposed to be okay.

 

I'm well too.

 

 

Look at this! 

 

How I let the wet clothes dry on a rope wrapped in love

 

Why are you standing like that?

 

Do you want to talk, touching my hand?

 

Have the courage?

 

You better go

 

I have absolutely no time

 

The man is lying down with love passion

 

I will put wet hair on his face as soon as his eyes open

 

Do you understand?

 

You are not in my memory anymore.

 

 

 

You said to wait for the flower to bloom,

 

But you forgot

 

Thousands of stars were waiting for you in the sky

 

You forgot everything!

 

Standing alone under the sky, what do you think today?

 

Tell me!

 

Where will the stars be today?

 

I don't know; I don't know

 

Are you leaving?

 

Go

 

The dynamics of tomorrow are strict, you know?

 

Everything got wet in last night's rain

 

Look at the group of frogs in the muddy pond 

 

with the smell of clay

 

They are rejoicing

 

Do you have time to visit them?

 

Do you want to sit down?

 

Come close. let us recall our old memory together

 

Not bad!

 

How dry the face is

 

Tell me, how long have you been hungry?

 

Do you want to touch my hand?

 

Won't there be injustice?

 

If anyone sees?

 

You better go

 

Colors like ignorant love, why today?

 

At such a time?

 

 

 

Listen, I go now

 

I have a lot to be done.

 

The dirty plates have been lying around since night

 

How much work!

 

No breakfast yet, how much to cook

 

You better go back

 

As you go, humbly throw your breath into the air

 

Let the sun shines brightly. 

 

 

Today

 

Let the heat-burnt soil; Let it be burst

 

I also go back very alone!

 

Alone.

I see you on the balcony in the morningZ

 

Oh no! How do you know I am here?

 

Are you not afraid?

 

If anyone sees you? 

 

The dark fog gradually became lighter like clear water

 

I see you up close

 

That's the same, vagrant indifference in the face

 

How are you?

 

You were supposed to be okay.

 

I'm well too.
