( For P.K. )
Between the sky and the clouds
A faint glimmer of the sunset starts shining through
And here I am thinking of you
Here I am looking at our pictures
Smiling as I remember Bali
And what only the two of us have known
Here I am still able to feel the warmth of you
Still able to smell your skin
Still lost in the tenderness of your arms
Here I am in love with you
Here I am going back to some foreign land
Leaving behind the only home I ever knew
The home I had found with you
Leaving behind the wine
The sunsets and my heart
But holding on to the memories
Here I am still between the sky and the clouds
Awakening slowly from a dream
Watching the darkness of the night that has
suddenly surrounded me
Here I am alone without you
