Analysis of Sometimes
Sometimes you see the colour of my eyes
sometimes you kiss the shadow on my cheeks
and sometimes you admire my lips without the lipstick
It's sometimes you feel my depth and soul
But too many times my eyes change the colour
and they become two big storms of clouds
and cheeks became a playground in the desert
My fingers long for touching your skin
My palms are empty plates they will
fall apart into thousand tiny minds
Why this sometimes is only sometimes
