It was our favorite rendezvous
At the Pearl park, full of memories
We were rebellious 'n mischievous
At a time, sunset moments, full of surprises.

It was raw 'n pure, unrequited love for me
Thought that you're the one, I'm so glee
Young turks like me, plead on your knees.
Couldn't be so sure what might possibly happen

Next... next day, having your first kiss,
Yes! Is this for real? I'd just ate stuffed turkey
Was this a reverie, a fantasy, an intuition?
Or an echoes of ethereal whispers of the wind...

So tingling, so tender in my ears,
Tasted like mango so sweet, super
Am I gonna went nuts, gone wild?
No wonder why? My lips are sealed

Just for you, and that's it,
It's heartbreaking when I've caught you
Swinging in the pendulum with other guy.
Riding in a teeter-totter, monkey-bar grooving.

Longing, lasting with them.
Realizing I ain't some else to you, no more.
Was this a jealousy? Am I paranoid so high
Pinch me, nudge me self... tell me, this isn't true.

As the foliage rustling gently through
My face, the wind had been spoken
To me, this entity had a secrets to be told, gushing red went back then, so rough

This love I hope it works though
It hurts, nothin' more nothin' less
Hatred on me comes out of my mind, see
Subtle art of nature lies in the sounds
Of lovebirds chirping beneath the trees

Beside the water stream as my tears flow
Why does the reality, nerve-wracking, wouldn't allow
Me at least, to move forward with these thistles.
Outdoors burning me hot, so I'll stay inside

My room, void of space, a darkest dungeon
Healing powers of solitude dudes be like...
Whispers of the wind, timid nature of silence
Because, this is where I am, right now...

You taught me how to love
Taught me how to hate as you'd planted in me
You taught me everything in life
That left is the best option if

Right choice has taken
I knew the fact, skies are purple
I was blinded by your love
Right now, I'm so blue

This enigmatic spectre of me
Loneliness, my friend I embrace
Babbling owls, cockroaches' noise
There's no luminescence nor flashes

Melancholy songs is what I heard
I'm a foolish lover, today I had a beard
Don't really know how to start again
Love again, against the idyllic graffiti's.

Youth are careless about being vulnerable
Always be careful, taming the puppies
Missing your contagious, dashing smiles
Hard nails as well as splinters in life,
Tough man as it is--- was.
