Stop

Hold your lips for a little while

I just have to cross a few miles

To reach by your side, just in time

To kiss and say I came back

From the war, where I fought

Bravely with myself.

 

I won and lost the battle

Which you never started

Neither did I, like the river

that flows through the fields unknown

Suddenly taking a bend somewhere

Why? No book can explain

Neither can you nor can I.

 

Let the Time hold still

Till I come to your embrace. Stop

Before you speak to someone else

The words you meant for me

But It doesn’t. I know.

Because then, I am sure,

The bullet would have stopped

Before hitting my heart.
