We share our scars,

and there it is, that's the proof.

The lips, the tongue, the heart and the slowness, the dream, the luck, the hours on cloud nine (the timeless/weightless hours).

To go on and on about the free nights to come.

'Do we do it?'

'Not right away, hold on, no dear, not just yet.'

The clouds hide the storm,

It's true what they say about princes, there's always a frog.

I'll let the angels answer

and give me the strength, because my pretty bombshell will for sure

Not even 3 months after the break-up, I'll see him crawling, camping out in the rain drenched at my apartment's doorstep.
