Gone with the wind

Gone with the wind

(Translated from Turkish, inspired by a song)

It was like we were drowning in silence

As if no one could save us

If you had told me ‘I'm tired of us’

If you had told me ‘I can't tear down the walls between us’

This pain wouldn't have become unbearable

But you left without telling

You left without explaining

I was looking for you everywhere

It's like you have gone with the wind

Now your absence here is as big as an ocean

I wonder how I can save myself from it

If you had at least told me ‘I’m leaving’

Maybe I could have continued my life like a fish in the water

But you left without telling

You left without explaining

I was looking everywhere

It's like you have gone with the wind
