Dreaming from Kite by Aino Elina [i know elina]

Dreaming, I think I must be dreaming
My toes overturning the ground

Beading on my brow competing
with streetlights’ golden gleaming on clouds

I know, I know I should have could have would have reached out
somewhere along the road
Forgive, forget all that then led to what we’d later regret

Breathing, I have to keep on breathing
The sun is slowly beating the silver moon

An old tune reminds me of the frail bloom
veiling these meadows mid June
And it goes like this

I know, I know I should have could have would have reached out
somewhere along the road

Only when looking back it’s easier to say I know where we lost track
Along the way somehow your voice turned black
I watched you wade too far in that dark place
with shadows drawn on your mind, your face

Snow fall, I can hardly see at all
If this was a dream I would surely fly

You’re left only on my diary pages in dye, silent whispers “I’ll be fine”,
stolen kisses goodbye, memories stained with cheap wine, bruises fading with time.
