Last night while I was thinking
I heard my heart beating
Beating out of my chest
And even when I was sleeping
Thoughts of you were repeating
Repeating in my head.

I couldn't help but notice
And I don't want you to see this
This mess that I have made
But ah yes, I noticed
That like the leaves of the lotus
Lotus leaves will fall

Falling is what I mean
Yes, that is what I mean
Meaning I, like the lotus leaves, will fall
Wilting and no breaths inbetween
But the sight of you is so keen
Keen and fresh in my head.

O. L. Emerson
