i found my voice in you sunoo

I sat by the bay window while you struggled with the piano

I bet I could hear your mind wars even if being in Chicago
But the little hums you take between the notes or the times you nudge yourself out of your frame
I wish I was the keys of your piano and hope you'd fall in love with me the same.

You sit and stare for sometime, looking about you and then at the time,
You were surprised to see how long you'd been sitting here playing and replaying that rhyme
I told you I already heard it a thousand million times
You said you'd like to play it just one more time.

So you took a deep breath and smiled a breathy smile at my way
Before playing in one go what all you gathered in those million games
I closed my eyes, closed all my senses as I swayed
In this mesmerizing tone of the black and white, mixed at intervals with your heavenly voice rather in pain.

I opened my eyes in the middle and looked your way
Sunshine just fading to the ascent of a beautiful crescent moon
The lights are burning out, it's sunset time
I still look your way even if that all is what surrounds.

Your voice just like flowing on a boat, in the middle of the ocean, no one seemes ashore,
I am sitting there above the deep core, when your voices like a storm, drawing the boat,
Sinking me in, falling like it was meant to swallow me whole,
Going inside my veins and deep within every inch, it was meant to make me realize how much I would crave for it all.

When the 7 notes seemed to be following your scent,
Your flowers beautifying every step left in this lyrical garden
I wish I could walk in here forever, just to hear you sing to your fictional maiden
Someone I could be, someone i am not until then.

You finished and turned to look my way, your eyes telling you have done it finally
My eyes feeling all the warmth of the music and now blending with yours would be a perfect harmony
I smiled and clapped happily, you shy away and said will be back shortly
Waving and watching you leave the seat, I knew i would try once you leave.

After all, I wish i could have an access of your Playlist
As I close the screen and look around me
The piano by my side feeling haunted
I wish, I wish you were real to me.
