Today I am just a man, 
In love with a girl. 

She has eyes that glimmer, 
Like emerald water. 

And she smells sweet, 
Like lemons and fruit. 

She loves eating pomegranate seeds, 

The memories of a past day 
Flood my mind
The way the sky 
Framed the earth 
As for the first time 
They walked together 

As the buildings 
Surrounded by the sky 
And the sun 

This song sounds like spring 
The joy we had 
Sitting in the grass
As it stained your white overalls 
That your mother embroidered 
With purple flowers 
Your favorite color

Every time I close my eyes 
I hope to open them 
And see you again 
I wish to hear your voice 
For one last time 
Because I know I never will 

Every time I sleep

I'm bound to this 
Frame of mind 
For the time that has passed 
Leaves more and more 
Of a mark on my 
Soul 

Our story is the same as the one before 
The pages have faded with time 
And the words once written so elegantly 
Are smudged and unreadable as the days go by

And the years that passed
