the 'after'

and when #TharkiGaay dreams a dream that features #KhulaSaand in it, it is not #Paradise..

yes.. definitely..
a dream that leaves a bitter after taste behind.. bitter not because of the characters featured in it (like featured as in the dream).. but because of THE characters involved.. more specifically, because of the One specific character involved..

the only grateful part being, the dream per se, is not left behind.. wiped clean.. except for the notion that there was a dream, and that's irrefutable, which is, actually and essentially, what makes the entire thing as, 'not' #Paradise..

this is how the story went
I met someone by accident
it blew me away
and it was in the darkest of my days
when you took my sorrows and you took my pain
and buried them away
dropped you off at the train station
put a kiss on top of your head
watch you wave
then I went on home to my skyscrapers
neon lights and waiting papers
that I call home
I woke up feeling heavy hearted
I'm going back to where i started
the morning rain
although i wish that you were here
that same old road that brought me home
is calling me home
I wish I could lay down beside you
when the day is done
and wake up to your face against the morning sun
but like everything I've ever known
you'll disappear one day
so I spend my whole life hiding my heart away

and I can spend my whole life hiding my heart away..
