353 days


I looked around and stared at the clock like it was an endless loop.

I held a photo in my hand, felt a tear and wiped it with my thumb

As I looked down, I realized that as time passes by I was becoming numb

I needed to see you and I needed to know the truth.

I felt the urge to scream without knowing what it means

But as I shut my eyes and saw your face, I knew then that it was you that I need

You were walking your bike home with a somewhat dim look on your face

I held my breath and fought back a tear for I haven't seen you in 353 days

The last day that I saw you was the day I said goodbye

All I wanted was for you to live, even if it costs me my life

Tears were rolling down your face as I let the monster take me away

I ended up in a different world, a world without you and without the light of day

I called out your name but all I heard was the respond of dark silence

It was unbearably deafening and I've felt both fear and tense

It was weird enough to be in a different world, but to be living alone was terrifying

Everything was exactly the same yet everywhere I look it's like everything is dying

I found my way back and met a nice man that took me in

He gave me waffles and asked me where I have been

I told him the truth and showed him what I could do

Just like when I made your millennium falcon toy flew

He hid me from the world for he knew that I will be judged

He wouldn't let me see you, I tried to plead but he didn't budge

One day he and I had a fight, and I disobeyed every rule he gave me

I shut my eyes and used my ability to travel with my mind to see

I saw you walking your bike home with a somewhat dim look on your face

I held my breath and fought back a tear for I haven't seen you in 353 days
