New York Lovers

This perfect world of mine

The one that you treasure and adore

The place you discover and lost your universe

Love hearing your sweet voice when I flex my muscles

It is all joy, joy that in my heart will stay

This face that you will love forever

My time that you always wanted

I gave my all, all that I have.

 

I forget to love myself

I neglect the calls for change

I continue wondering, giving my best.

I forget to breathe for my soul

Then the moment has comes

I’ve lost you; I’ve lost myself and everything.

Lost, completely lost, could somebody help me?

I want you; I want you to be here badly.

 

Now I am searching for you

Those places we used to go

Only the shadows remain

As I am walking, walking in the pouring rain.

In every step, every breath, every glimpse.

You are there, you are my world

I wish the rain would turn into fire

So that my body will feel again your warm embrace

Your lips that kissed me torridly

Hear my plea, please come back to me.

I am crazy, I don’t care, I don’t mind.

It is a sin, but this is my life.

You are my life

"It is a sin, but this is my life.
You are my life"
The title brought me in and the story in the poem held me to the last word. Some people can make us love forever with a simple touch and whispered in the night. No weakness in the outstanding poetry.
