Analysis of Collide.



Eccentric figures collided,
like a white sheet attached in its ends
right after a ballad has been concluded.
Skeeming thoughts together to form one strong hymn that caused all to feel like a matrimony .
Oh would you have believed?

Two species that came from different worlds disguised as humans put the words of unison into action.
what would've refrained the universe from conspiring?
 Their intertwining fingers broke through the door of agony.
Non other than their positive approach to all could surpass their miserable perspective.

So as to reminisce of their miraculous prominence they stroll back to their stolen time,
lie in the bed of green leaves
and close their eyes as to make flashbacks within flashbacks.
Their celestial affection intensifying with each passing second.
Glances and the exchanging of sweet nothings building a concrete wall of ecstacy,
that non other than a negative thought could crack.

With pride we march back to our little imaginary world.
Heads held high like victory has just been accomplished.
No convincing of living in a dream
could ever lay a finger on our thin walls of hope.
As in our world,
despair had always been for the defeated.
The truth we searched for was just at the far ends of the earth .
Truth which we had to climb mountains for.

It could be non other than that
the perception of affection was more realer than the word itself.
