「わきざし」 WAKIZASHI

If only in the morning you greet me like how the chilling cold do so many times
Maybe everything will move in a steady pace

At times I fall to my knees but no one offers a hand out of sympathy
I just smile knowing that you would do so if you were here
But the moment I grab your outstretched arm you fade away and I wake up eventually

The more I think of the times you were here, the more painful it gets
I embrace my weak heart and keep on praying that our paths will intertwine once again

At times my drinks are diluted by my own tears
Because I can see my reflection on the surface and it looks so lonely without you next to it
I dip my fingers into the liquid and write your initials across the table and they disappear along with my frail calmness

My voice leaves me whenever I long for you so much
I cannot hear myself when I mutter your name

If only we met earlier perhaps we won't end up being apart like this
Maybe I can persuade myself to stay with you
But I know the thoughts are naught but fantasy being born from regret

I lit up the night with the candle and close my eyes
I tried many times to find the one that matches your scent but to no avail
Weeping while wondering how would I get to catch it again, slowly I drift to sleep
And tomorrow will come and the cycle will start all over again
