but I know the answer. No, they don't remember They'd be amazed to hear that Chance has been toying with them now for years. Not quite ready yet to become their Destiny, it pushed them close, drove them apart, it barred their path, stifling a laugh, and then leaped aside.


IF WE (N)EVER MEET AGAIN

Now sleeps the crimson petal, now the white; Nor waves the cypress in the palace walk;

Nor winks the gold fin in the porphyry font; The firefly wakens, waken thou with me.

houghts of you dance through my mind. Knowing, it is just a matter of time. Wondering... will u ever be mine? You are in my dreams, night... and sometimes... day. days.

The thoughts seem to never fade away. You haven’t always been here for me, or loved me just the same... But you will always have my heart, until my dying





Pardon me, hounded hope, for laughing from time to time. Pardon me, deserts, that I don't rush to you bearing a spoonful of water. And you, falcon, unchanging year after year, always in the same cage, your gaze always fixed on the same point in space, forgive me, even if it turns out you were stuffed.

May my dead be patient with the way my memories fade. My apologies to time for all the world I overlook each second. My apologies to past loves for thinking that the latest is the first. Forgive me, open wounds, for pricking my finger. I apologize for my record of minutes to those who cry from the depths. I apologize to those who wait in railway stations for being asleep today at five a.m.
