My heart plunges underneath that ocean
Our entwined hearts used to sail,
The absence of you weighs me down
To the depths of this bottomless ocean,
Until I drown in your memory,
I miss you, all your juvenile
Ambiances, and your flourishing smile.

I still beseech you,
Beyond those walls we once called home,
That now cause deepening of pain.
We met in the spring rain,
You were the raindrops, I was a wilting
Rose, in the wake of every spring
I wait for you on that same place,
Withering in the cold winterland
Hoping you'd save me again.
