Two prodigal souls

You were there when life unfolded its petals for the first time

To steal the first light from the dawn of my youth

We lost a step and it was fun

Two prodigal souls united during one weary journey.

And then like all songs come to an end

Ours came to a stop too

But we remembered the misplaced notes

And played it again and again; never getting over it.

Suddenly life has become so complicated now,

And in it our song is lost, gone and buried under rotten earth

Worn down by the piles of experience

But our prodigal souls brandish unabashed tenderness

Between the reality of it all our fakes reek with freshness.
