In you, I stand to lose
The natural way in which
You took my breath away.
I stand to lose
The weightlessness of time
That passed by like a peaceful wind.
The peace in which my head
Would rest on your lap
Carefree of the world of tomorrow.
In you, I stand to lose
The last glance that we
Turned back to catch at every corner.
The irresistible urge to meet
And fall carelessly
Into the worlds of one another.
In you, I stand to lose
The romantic fervour that the world
Has to offer.
The deepening of things:
The beauty of the clouds,
The wonder of the moon.
The joy of happy faces,
The sadness of lost hope,
The angst of broken dreams.
In you, I stand to lose,
The largest part of me
That I always loved, unconditionally.
