Hug Me With a Verse

Hug me with a verse and squeeze me tight,
Let your pen write our aspirations.
Shower everywhere over me your words,
And don’t ever leave me o’er.
Until
the early dawn begins to be mine,
Without a horizon there is no love true either.
Sing me a song composed for me,
Don’t let me notes be forgotten.
I’ll
whisper you something like best companion,
Save me from the evil eyes.
Don’t let anyone get closer to me,
You would never get over me again.
And
you’ll no longer be a hobo,
You’ll live somewhere in my songs.
So let them hunt for you, I won’t tell them,
Let there be eternal love between us.
When
our songs mixed they’ll echo far and wide,
I’ll preserve yours and you recite mine.
Sometimes a tear will fall from your eye,
Just move ahead, don’t ask.
….
