Instead

 

After I am used to forget
Against my consent
After patience became my mate
After I sank in an ugly fate
Only one word changed the game
Your name
And I am no more dead
Instead
Again my eyes have tears
Again my heart has fears
Nights started to be longer
My heartbeats became stronger
Singing this everlasting chant
Nothing will keep us apart
And I remember
What I never forgot
Because you are in me
And all what I’ve got
