An Inch of Longing, An Inch of Tenderness

The rain taps on the window of the old lane
Like your sighs unspoken soaked in pain
The warmth in my palm fades away
Leaving me alone lost in yesterday
The moonlight is too thin to light the road ahead
Since you left even dreams start to shed
If longing is poison who’ll be my cure
A falling tear turns into a mirage so pure
An inch of longing an inch of tenderness
An inch of memories cutting deep in my consciousness
You’re like the wind slipping through my fingers
The harder I grasp the more it lingers
An inch of time an inch of old
An inch of youth turned gray and cold
If we meet again only silence remains
I wish we’d let go back then
The streetlight flickers dim then bright
Like your eyes hiding words unsaid in the night
The letter I never sent is creased with time
Every word still sketches your shadow in rhyme
Time moves too slow to forget your grace
Since you left even sorrow finds its place
If regret is wine who’ll drink it with me
A dream awakens leaving only empty streets
An inch of longing an inch of tenderness
An inch of memories cutting deep in my consciousness
You’re like the wind slipping through my fingers
The harder I grasp the more it lingers
An inch of time an inch of old
An inch of youth turned gray and cold
If we meet again only silence remains
I wish we’d let go back then
If love is a curse we can’t escape
Why didn’t you speak it before it was too late
Now I’m left alone to bear the weight
Of this endless sorrow too vast to translate
An inch of longing an inch of tenderness
An inch of obsession turning into soreness
You’re like a star falling into my sight
The more I yearn the deeper I fall from the height
An inch of time an inch of decay
An inch of love stolen away
If the rest of my life is loneliness in disguise
I’d rather burn this love into ashes and lies
The rain in the old lane has long since ceased
But my pain still flows never released…
