Lean by me a little more.

I need Time to rest its wings;

There's still an empty leaf in my chronicle; I know for sure.

Let your fingers entangle with mine.

Memorize my scent a little more.

What do I blotch the last page with? What wishes here do I pour?

Embrace me a little tighter.

Kiss my cheeks a little more.

There's nothing else to be written anymore.

With you beside me, I have all I need.

"The stars have aligned and the eyelids have signed", the last line of the last leaf swore.
