You know everything I like,
even the symbols I favor. You remember those too, don't you?
Why? Here I am now, with nothing to show for it,
holding on only to a promise that was never real.
If I close my eyes, time will stop.
I am still someone who knows nothing,
merely a telescope peering into an illusion.
I can't close my eyes, can't ever escape.
I look up at the night and remember everything that disappeared.
My white breath is gone before it can even understand the meaning of love.
Forever is nothing but the cruel fate we long for.
Do you still believe in it?
