Hinder me, O heart

Years ago seems like weeks ago, weeks feels like days 
Of me seeing you in so many ways, such light that won’t fade
The past from me nor these sparkes say, how deeply your refinement affect me
Before you began to stray


Where has the sun gone when you're present? Have I of all been the one 
you burden unto you? No matter how much the side of this heart keeps you inside, my mind won't heedfully let you hide

Though your touches, the feeling of your hands holding mine
How much I yearn it..our fingers mangled together like a vine,
Hugs so soft and embraced around your arms, wrapping me with your charms

Let us be together, we have yet to be one
As we shall swim in one’s heart, for love to be done
If only I could get cherish your image within me,
The true comfort I yearn for will occur for us to be.
