Swim, swim

Water falling over your skin,

Swim, swim

I could spend lifetime watching you,

Swim swim

It how it all begins

The most important changes in us don’t happen loudly.

‎They happen silently, while we’re just trying to live.

‎Sometimes we get memories we remember… but we’d never want to go back.

he was lying next to me

‎when my eyes opened

‎in a house I once knew

‎

‎without desire

‎he asked me something

‎I can’t remember now

‎

‎despite the weight of his past

‎I let myself fall

‎into his unfamiliar arms

‎

‎he moved

‎like he missed loving me

‎and called me back

‎to his house of sins

‎

‎with doubt heavy in my chest

‎I still went

‎

‎when I touched his gentle hands

‎I wanted closeness again

‎wanted to taste

‎his silken moisture

‎

‎but when the alarm rang

‎I woke all at once

‎

‎the past was gone

‎and my heart

‎was beating for another

"‎Without desire" by RAIK

Don’t confuse adaptation with hypocrisy.

‎Because when you truly adapt to someone, you lose parts of yourself. But hypocritical people survive.

‎They just pretend when they need to.

Today, when I look back at my past, I realize how much people have shaped me. It feels like I lived my life, but somehow became a STRANGER TO MYSELF.

Your voice, like a song upon my skin,

‎carries my thoughts to the bright lights of the Eiffel Tower.

‎Your lips, like oddly sweet roses,

‎I can only guess your scent,

‎and feel you down to the depths of your being.

‎

‎Even the worst in me, stirring chaos,

‎pulls me uncontrollably toward you,

‎I wish I could just turn off the lights

‎in this Parisian hotel of love.

‎

‎My lost soul wanders in cold fog,

‎without a single ray of hope,

‎yet your body burns in me like the flame of a candle.

‎The trace of your kisses, like blood-red roses,

‎let them remain forever,

‎making me yours for all time.
