Hide and seek

Don’t play game with me, this isn’t funny
Did you get tired of hiding? Is that why you left

Without a word like a child’s whim
And disappeared?

It’s funny how you’ve stayed the same since that day
While I’m getting older everyday
Did the place and people change too much to recognize?
Is that why you can’t find your way back home?

“I’m ready” Let me see your face
“Ready or not I’m coming” What if I forget you?
Can’t you at least answer me?
What do you say? Are you ready?


Every unspoken word is on the verge of
Spilling over bursting out my body

You can have my time in this world
So just tell me what I should do

For ten years now, we’ve played this hide-and-seek Are we still playing? Am I in?


Though you’re gone without a trace I can’t but help
Looking for you everywhere

Bit by bit my memory is fading
Forgetting your smell or your subtle ways

“That’s okay” you’ll probably say
“Go on, live your future”
But I must hear you say, otherwise I won’t, I can’t...

The unsaid words kept hostage inside my head
“I’m home” Echoing hundreds and thousands of times

I walk forward with my face turned back
Awkward me Will you at least laugh?

Are we playing this hide-and-seek for life? I am, I made my mind

Lovers then a family, now we’re beyond, we are one
You can watch me make decisions at every step of the way
Cause you will always live in me


Every unspoken word is on the verge of
Spilling over bursting out my body

But I won’t quit this hide-and-seek we play
You live within my body and soul

Are we playing this hide-and-seek for life? I am, I made my mind
But in our next lives you be “it” cause this is too unfair

Promise you'll seek me out like crazy and hold me
