What Is Not Mine

Quote

I can no longer find my emotions

Look closely, perhaps they remained with you

My soul is now imprisoned by you

I realized when I lost the key


I do not know if this is an expectation

Perhaps my glances toward the sky

While searching for your eyes in someone else’s

Hope shattered within your mind


Now I search for you among the heavens

Perhaps because I cannot find you on earth

I compare the clouds to you, ah

These beauties do not tire me


Every step I take toward you is now in vain

Each time I am the one who loses

It is time to put hope aside

Fate will not grant us reunion at the end of this path


My heart trembles as I write these lines to you

I have grown cold toward myself—what should I say to you

Your turn toward other people

Was it a collapse of character or your giving up on me


You have become a prisoner of wandering streets

Or is it more accurate to say you are a slave to worthlessness

You were foolish enough to lose me

It was a great mistake to realize this now
