Some words were dropped out
You are my old book
Written about my love!
Read with curiosity
To see what it wrote
Ah so, here it is

Stepped on falling leaves
Under my feet, they cried
My sadness spilled out?
You were standing at the door
Didn’t run to catch
You were just my book
The end then silent.

No longer missing,No longer promising,No longer…
I grow up, my sorrows grow up Singing a song that never ends Mixed up words in my mind Morning time, and the door’s still open You took me to sleep but I failed to Where did these whispers come from? The whispers of the young trees? If just hugging is enough I will snuggle…
