Analysis of convergence
i am leaving now
the summer passes like a stranger the wind does not know you
tracing your footsteps
standing at the edge of the corner, where the hopes of a lifetime converge
i saw you once at the parade whispering in the darkness
once I was a young man, in a room without windows
once i was a child, looking back, i never could forget loneliness
perhaps I have loved you, have I ever loved
the door closes in silence and opens on the clouds
