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
