Choked

One step into the ocean, two hands choking the air out of me
My eyes blur and go out of focus, my tears giving up on me.

You had promised me that we will celebrate Father’s Day together next year:
And now the distance between us is merely a couple of light years.

The sky is so vast,
No one know till where it lasts.
It changes different shades
During sunset, the sunshine fades.

Don’t be afraid of the oblivion.
The voices you hear are merely echoes of your own footsteps.

Life goes on with many ups and downs,
But still we live, still we breathe just for our beloved ones.
