160

nikola

 

One night to fall in love

Six months of ecstasy

Zero doubts you are the one

 

But after one night the countdown began again.

This time to separate not to bring closer.

Day by day holding onto the beautiful dream,

I kept hoping you are coming back, just not yet.

It slowly destroyed me, inside and out.

 

And then, it clicked 160.

160 days without having you - my love.

Felt like we were apart for years and I’m afraid.

What if the time runs out, the sand stops forever and finds its way down?

 

You follow another path, that’s not yours and mine.

You stay there with them, that brings you down.

Are you happy? I know you are not.

Will you get that courage to fix all that’s torn?

 

While the sand is still there and I’m breathing just fine, my heart will be yours.

To protect or destroy? I will see in no time.

You flipping a coin or choosing the right?
