Fortune Is Not My Fate
I often whisper, to myself;
I wish I could talk with You
Face to face
I wish I could hold your shoulders
In my arms
I wish I could empower your lips
With my lips
I wish I could put my head
On your chest
To hear your heartbeat
To feel, ups and down
Of your breathing
Alas, it is only imagination
You exist indeed
But not for me
Since fortune is not my fate
Tears arise
From the boat of eyes
And jump on the ground
And disappear into the soil
Dreams stay dreams.
