How Can I Know
How Can I Know
Your voice still echoes
in my mind,
though your eyes
are far from me.
Why do you try
to prove each time
the moon must shine
in vanity?
You seem too cold,
but don't you know
I miss the fire
that makes me glow?
You turned me into
someone whole,
a heart that breaks,
yet won't let go.
There's someone different
in my mind,
from the one
I think is you.
I can't recall
which one designed
the plan to leave—
how can I know?
Where did you go?
The sunlight hides,
Two restless hearts
on different sides.
It's not its fault—
the sun's like me,
It burns for what
it cannot see.
I never know
just what you need,
or what you think
I'm lacking now.
Since you laughed
that day at me,
a quiet grief grew—
don't ask how.
A distance spreads
between the spark
of laughter and
the tears that fall.
Where is that
prideful tear I knew—
the one that faced
the world through all?
I want you just
to be like me—
a lover lost,
a wild one too,
who keeps a promise
faithfully
and stays until
the world is through.
