There was once a time when all I was hoping for was life to be just me, you and a bottle of wine to enjoy the ride,
The glow of the moon and the faded light of a candle reflecting on your calm resting face; oh how wonderful it would've been.
But our love was nothing but a dream, a fantasied version of us and of life how dumb it may seems,
Oh dear thinking back at it how naive I was to believe in this.
I twisted my reality so it would match yours and spent my entire time thinking about the infinite ways I might get you,
But all of my attempt at getting close remained non concluent; actually all my attempt at love.
Loving you in shades of grey got me in this deep sensation of void not knowing where to go, not knowing how to live anymore,
My grip tight on you I would stay by your side in spite of your rejection, longing for attention even though it never made you love me more.
I got into phases like the moon and held my head high trying to ignore this ripping pain,
But at the end, my heart would ache until I see you again.
Eventually, I came at peace with the fact that I would never be your romantic muse and let the dust in so everything would fade,
Time has left a veil on us like if everything was dead.
Today again I thought about you, wondering where you've been; kind of look like I still got this ancient desire burning,
Got my heart pierced by asymmetrical feelings.
