Through Web Of Days

                  Полина Михайлова

I've heard your call tonight; through web of days 
I even forgot this heart-tormenting thought. 
Lower and lower, as the music plays, 
It sounds, after first my heart you've caught. 

I could forget my foolish little affair, 
I could assure myself it's all a rave, 
I closed my eyes with waterfall of hair, 
But It was here - undeleted safe. 

Though people said: "It can be just a trouble", 
Though horoscopes proved: "Get this thought away", 
Though life departed - now I grieve a double, 
For I can't move on and I cannot stay. 

I've heard these words tonight; through web of days 
I first mislistened, but the second sound, 
Higher and trulier, as the music plays, 
Caught me - threw me - stroke me - turned me around. 

I don't know where; I don't know am I the one 
And even isn't it a misplacement 'gain. 
"I wake up early for the silent sun" 
To let this feeling stream into my vein. 

I could forget my foolish little affair, 
I could assure myself it's all a rave, 
I closed my eyes with waterfall of hair, 
But It was here - undeleted safe. 

Though people said: "It can be just a trouble", 
Though horoscopes proved: "Get this thought away", 
Though life departed - now I grieve a double, 
For I can't move on and I cannot stay.
