Blue skies and Stingray

I thought of a sting ray, I really don’t know why !
Stale air here , but , a nice bright blue sky ..

A bit of you stayed , a lot of you just walked away ..
Keep calm, I told — me , think of the sting ray ..

The world’s whizzing by, under these cloudy skies
Nape of your neck, those half closed eyes ..

Life will never be the same ever again ..
Did the stingray ever see the rain ??

I asked, why the stingray and the azure sky
If not for you , this is how I would die .
