I wanna save the last of my smiles
for someone, I have not met yet
But if I am alone, I wanna sit at the edge of the world and smile
Rest my back against a rock, and maybe,
take a smoke for the last time
Play my favourite beats
I wanna look at the all the emptiness
and not get hurt at least once
I want to walk free without fearing the swamps
Without the fear that I am far away from other lives
Just me and my thoughts
And my last smiles covering the last of the miles

I sometimes revisit my writings, and I am almost always disappointed. But if you still may, you will stumble upon mostly short fiction, technology otherwise
