Ice melting on my eye Running like spring into warm meadows Even the distance between us is precious In this universe that has no space Today’s crossroads are the convergence Of hundreds years of dreams, In this universe that has no time Snowflakes falling on my face Melting like ghostly kisses The stroke of a [...]
