Wander Off

Like the fallen autumn leaves in a stormy night, 

You can wander away. 

Like the sun in a rainy day,  

You can choose to appear whenever you may. 

Know this, you are everywhere

Like an infinity within another

Know this, you are everywhere

Even if you stand a bit further. 

My words cannot reach you,  

They are only mine to keep

My eyes cannot see you,

But there are memories—

that can cut more deep. 

My eyes will remember you

As you were, like a breeze in a summer day

I will remember your hands, 

The feelings will forever stay. 

Restless soul, you hope to earn

Things that seem so far,

Like the adventure of Cadmus,

You run for what you seem dear. 

Wander off, my love, 

I won't hold you back. 

I will remember you with the words you say

When the evening turns black.
