Never let me go



I, the petal
You, the stem
Something ties us
Together again
Your eyes don't see it
Can't hear the sound
Of my heartbeats'
Deafening resound

I, the raindrop
You, the bow
That stretches beautifully
After the show
And when you're not looking
I watch you breathe
Quietly, steadily
As your colours leave
Me blinded

I, the balloon
You, the string
Summer sky all around
You still bring
A blushing smile
And you'll never know
But won't you?
Will you?
Never let me go
