Darkness and light; present and past walking in the hallway,
The light is shaking,
Flashes of light and darkness,
Flashes of the present and past walking in the light
I see my shadow locking around.
I keep remembering the past
But I want to face the present
Sitting alone, flashes of past and present.
Leave me alone!!
I want to face the daylight
And darkness, my joy and sorrow
The smile in my eyes
The pain in my heart, leave me alone!!
