THE LOVE OF TWO LIONS

How many years has it been?

or

How many minutes, how many hours, how many days?

I feel like I’ve known you forever

We’ve been locked up in cages, trained to be stared at and judged

Somehow, our hearts broke us free

Deep inside, bared a heart so great,

so lively

so strong

so beautiful

we couldn’t contain it for long

I made my way to the concrete jungle

alone, without my pride

This big heart of mine kept me going throughout the day

but at night, when the tears start to come

I hear your roar

I remember you

It seems like a lifetime, but I remember

We licked each other’s wounds

You told me if I was strong, we’ll find each other again.

I told you, as long as the moon and the stars light up the sky at night,

I’ll think of you

Your soft paws and radiant smile

I’ll roar right back at you

For what seems like our sadness and loneliness,

is really our love

setting us free

showing our strength
