Along the painful paths of life,
Burdened by troubles knotted deep within,
In the desolate corners of dark, dim streets,
I crossed paths with you while enduring my plight.
Upon the sidewalks of those shadowed streets,
With every step, I found myself searching for your silhouette
To me, you were a mystery, an unknown.
In the river of love, flowing from a mountain of emotion,
As I rowed my boat of dreams, you were there.
Before I could truly know you, or gaze into your eyes,
Before my hands could ever touch yours,
You vanished, drifting away like a cloud.
Amidst the bustling, vibrant life of the streets,
I mistook every passing figure for you
Finding a fleeting solace in that, O unknown beauty.
Where are you now? With whom are you? I do not know.
All I know is that I have lost you.
