Whispers of Love

Amongst the echoes of yesteryears, I hang onto,

Where love amid life radiated beautiful colours,

Our time together was a joyful dance for five years;

But then fate came and stretched you away from me like a rubber band.

Now shadows are left behind where you have been standing before,

A heart that used to be whole is now cracked,

The silent nights carry your memories,

Through time that used to be better for lovers.

I found another person whom I tried to fix myself with

Only for our hearts never to index or synchronize,

Old violin's plaintive sounds bleed into new recordings

So now I am disoriented and don’t know what emotions I am supposed to show.

Isolation surrounds me with cold arms,

Over this kind of life, I am walking empty.

But in one place or another hope will still rise once more

And I will find solace in romance once more – somewhere warmer.

Even though the suffering runs heavy I shall endure patiently,

For the daybreak when the sun shall shine upon me,

When a genuine sweetheart will be set free from sleep,

And I would finally find peace in its warm embrace.
