time capsule

Ëþäìèëà Ïðàñàä
Time will be cruel and drag on for ages
Cross after cross on my calendar pages
Countless moons invading my room
Time will be cruel dictating the rules

Keep stirring coffee, pretend concentration
Thinking out plans with no destination
Telling myself I’ll survive like before
And I shouldn’t be thinking of you anymore
Let the door of my memory slam
I shouldn’t be waiting for you anymore
But I am
I still am
I still am

Time will drag on and drag me right under
Stealing my sleep and making me wonder
Why there’s no closure, no damage control
End of our story but credits won’t roll

Minutes will drip like rain on the pavement
Your short loan of love, my endless repayment
Telling myself that I’m good like before
And I shouldn’t be thinking of you anymore
Let the door of my memory slam
I shouldn’t be waiting for you anymore
But I am
I still am
I still am

In minuscule files
I save recollections
Of your touches and smiles
And little affections 
Time capsule of mine
Buried deep in my mind
Don’t know what for
‘Cause I shouldn’t be thinking of you anymore
Let the door of my memory slam
I shouldn’t be waiting for you anymore
But I am
