SILENCE

I like you at the first sightAnd think of you day and night
Though I know it may not be right
Is this the feeling that I can’t fight?
    We start to talk, finally
    Days go by, quickly
    Embroider my dreams, gracefully
    But why can’t I say those words?
    How silly!
I blame my mouth for being shut
I blame my hearth for having doubt
To let you go just like that
And I begin to make a journey that never starts
    Still I’m alone this morning
    Still I’m desperately trying
    To forget you and all those things
    But how far can I fly with broken wings?
