4. “What Should I Say…“
(…continued…)
Even Nil’s thoughts refused to stop;
his mind kept running with the ticking clock,
chasing dreams that never spoke.
Now my mind holds only thoughts of you.
What should I even say to you…
I fear my voice might cause you pain,
so I quiet my heart again and again.
How will I pass this day alone?
Even the thought shakes me to the bone.
Every day I go, every day I come back,
through life’s maze,
rushing on the same track,
still racing with the clock’s own hands…..
When will you meet me…?
I’ve spoken to you only in dreams, my dear,
hoping one day you’ll truly hear.
In your memory
wets my lashes with a tear,
let’s write our own story
with hand in hand together…..
– Nil
