Throughout the night, the eyes kept changing in your memory.
There was a fire that kept burning inside the heart.
My youth was spent waiting for you
There was only destruction of your name in everyday thoughts.
I slept wrapped around a drunk bottle
My silence kept on screaming over the old wounds.
Loneliness was like a friend sitting beside me
And at my age there was night even in the day.
After some time neither we remember him nor we
Remember them, remember only the silence.
