I want to confess
I also loved
I did love with restless breathes and sleeplessness
Heavy and drunk in love was I
But ended up scattered across the field as dew
I want to confess my father!
The dawn of my love was breaking
The cocks were silent and felt afraid
As the darkness left and light frightened
As though by order
The heavenly big body faded
Made like i was deep in a dream world
And the love ended
I confess to you father
I also loved
Well! Well it may be
It was worth living as time passes
From a season to the next one
If not tomorrow it was till the moon be black
I loved father
Only for it to leave
As trees of last year’s fallen leaves
With a reason of false waves
But know father
My heart ended up bed-head
I once loved
I confess father
I also loved
But still she is out there
Cascading with her sweet beauty
To her time stands still
Vanishing from my life timing
I am at the edge
Still as before hoping
But recent seems long ago
Playing its crazy tricks
But my heart has no tenancy
Not in my heart home anymore
Father!
Can it be so?
Does love really not last?
But ever, all my life father!
I also loved🥹
