Trying to Reach You
i try to reach you
but the further i reach
the more the closeness –
we once had, starts retreating
i wonder if i had –
a chance all that time ago
without a time machine
i guess i will never know
the more i try to reach you
the more appears it to go
i listen to chants
and something deeper inside
so few know, just how –
plagued by nightmares i am
how bad dreams
have always found my hand
i try to reach you
but it is like winter and heat
i hope you find it
but i know it just retreats
