Silently, pulling you closer,
I touched, leaned in,
for your lips;

Tinted the colors of the sunset-

I reached, trying to hold you
but slowly, I felt you slipping away.

In the blink of an eye, you were gone,
as if turned to vapour-

desperately, I searched for you
My heart breathing faster.

But you were gone, nowhere to be seen,
you had slipped away, like sand
through the crevasses of my love.
