This confluence of aquamarine and baby pink
That merge almost effortlessly

Watch as you listen
And lift me up
Like the sky that bears
The gentle pink clouds.
I will watch this sky everyday
And with all my soul, pray
That the Universe will bring you back
And let us be together
Inseparable, come what may.
