Unknown, not even the Buddha and his enlightenment
Could ever understand something that’s already gone and spent
Is it me or is it the world that is the broken one that withers away?
Too late living here the same never was an option anyway
Loneliness is a fuel for the quiet and shamed
Close my eyes, is it time? Stay away, stay away
If I find God’s a lefty I can’t say how happy I’d be
Maybe, there is a place for me, waiting to see

Did you ever forgive me?”
“Did you want me to?”
“...No.”
“Oh… Well— That’s too bad.”
I am solitary lights in an empty city. What are you?

I will love you. Without requisite or deadline, I will love you.
What exactly happened in all those years? What bound us together? What changed her into who I am?

Hero… Please don't lie. Especially to yourself. Pretending that you're not hurt or that you don't need help— That kind of lie is very dangerous. You'll only ever be able to get rid of it by being honest about, and with, your feelings.
Their lives will always be one year, one week, one day short, but it doesn’t seem to matter much to them. They live anyway. They love anyway. Forgive an old god for wanting a piece of that for himself.
