Without You

You promised I would never live without you.
You said, not even a single moment would slip away from you.
If I truly loved you with all my soul,
Then how could I ever think you would let me go?
You swore, your portrait would live only in my heart,
And in the sky of dreams, my name and yours would never drift apart.

You promised, you would stay forever mine,
A light in the darkness, in every sorrow, in every shine.
Yet without you passed a few days,
Those few days stretched into endless maze of countless days.
And those countless days grew into a weight I carry deep within,
So I drown in the ocean-drop of loneliness, for endless days and days again.

You said we would walk together down life’s road,
Through storms, through rain, under one eternal abode.
You said, without me you are desert, without me you're streamless land.
But why then are you so far away, while I remain empty-handed without you, unmanned?

I walk alone, I hear the sigh of the air,
Even the moon asks me, “Whom do you search for in the midnight glare?”
No answer came, yet I whispered to the night,
“The one I loved is now beyond my sight.”
And see, every memory that used to bloom with care,
Now gasps for breath, starving in despair.

You promised we would hold hands,
Throw away every wound, every broken strand.
Yet now there is only emptiness, only a hollow room,
Where I sit repaying the debt of joy once shared in bloom.

Still I vow, I will never forget you any day.
You are lost, but I will love you for life, in every single way.
Even if I remain alone without you,
Through endless days, countless nights, and forever too.
What else can I do, tell me true?
I must repay the debt of those words you said,
“I love you”, even if they were never true.
