In a sea of forgetfulness

In a sea of forgetfulness

and today I woke up with this feeling
of missing something.
It was my past life
my parents and siblings that I haven’t seen in so many years
friends from my town
that now are all around the world like me.
So much happiness missed.
So much joy hidden in a sea of forgetfulness.

Yes, I said goodbye
I faked a smile and went away
just to no let them see me cry.
I took my plane with a bag full of colours and brushes.

One day,
the power that is behind us all
will bring us together
for just one more day
of happiness that will be also forgotten.
