Have you ever lost something
that was never yours?
You try blink so hard to fade away the tears
running down your soaked skin
and try to forget the moments of bliss, thinking what if they never existed.
Was it real or was it just another fairy tale
with a sharp end?
There's no lullaby,
There's no flower scented perfume.
And i believe there was never
you and me history book.
Because if it was real, i would've read it all over
again and again
for the sake of bringing back what it was.
but it is not real. and you don't exist.
