Under the Pavilion

I saw you standing under the tree,
I see no one but you, I’m happy
As you hold my hand I feel eternity
As I stare at you, time becomes an infinity.

“I’ll see you later, I love you”, he said
Under the pavilion where the sun rays were not shed
I gave him my sweetest smile as I said, “I’ll wait for you”
and see him go as i said to myself “…and I love you too”.

It was 5 o’clock and I bid my friends goodbye
Then I went outside as I see the sun slowly die,
Rain poured slowly, I feel the sense of misery,
Then all those were gone when I saw you waiting for me.

There it goes your blue umbrella, soaked in wet
“I wish time would go slow”, as I said in my head…
We were under the pavilion, letting and seeing the rain pour down
You were holding my hand… I realize that I’ve got the luckiest crown.

We were like this everyday, feeling the bliss
When everyone’s not available, I knew I got you, at least.
We laugh together and shed some little tears
I believe we’ve got the greatest cheers.

But everything were quickly gone,
Believing that all has been said and done.
You left me broken and scarred
Exaggerated as it may be, I feel that my whole life was barred.

Everyday I feel numb
Without you here for me, I feel dumb
It seems like I’ve lost half of my life
Nevertheless, I’m planning to kill my soul with a knife.

Last night I looked at myself in the mirror,
I was horrible, I can’t even see my spirit soar.
Thinking about you, about everything, about us
I was crying, “I’ve done everything”, it is not just.

I was living a ‘new’ life, so to speak
I am rebuilding myself, happiness is what I seek.
I began learning how to smile
And not to isolate myself and socialize, even for a while.

It was 2 o’clock in the afternoon,
As I see that the sun is not shining anymore soon
There I find myself under the pavilion, waiting.
Then afar I saw a man with a blue umbrella, walking…
