Your Name

My soul still whispers your name with delicate care,

Even when guilt is running thick in the air,

The lungs filled with regrets,

I trace my faults in the darkest nights and stare at the stars to find fault in them.

I wish I had chosen softer fights, no distance over the slightest arguments.

If love means declaring truth,

Then, listen the truth I owe to you,

I am standing still with a heart full of love for you.

I stay, I ache in pain.

I love you the same.

I take all the blame.

I fold my sleeves and let the blades of regret slit me,

Cut me through the throat,

Still, it will take your name.

You will always be my favorite memory,

The decent chapter in my history,

The epic saga of my life story.

Some moments fade away, some drifts apart,

Your name will stay forever the same ingrained in my heart.

I chose it to replay each day on every ocassions for all seasons,

Surrendered myself to your memories to keep them alive, vivid and clear.
