Much like how trees survive winter
I would shed my leaves first
Expose my bare skin and shiver
For the new bark to bear and flourish

With the blood I bled, I will remain
Sustaining the thirst to claim the skies
Soon the roots under and below
Rests as the sun above has been realized

For I am just a humble tree
A humble abode of my handful dreams
Humble enough to just want to be
More to life than a yesterday's plea

So with a silent voice, I will cast
A sincere wish for you to let me stand
For I am a tree and as a tree I'll thrive
Past all the four seasons I'll survive

For dreams are for dreamers
As life is for believers
Trees like me will show
That trees like me can grow

Love is the mirror of the mind
For when you want to see yourself hurt
You choose someone you absolutely curse
Knowing anytime you can be bawling
Shouting at the top of your lungs
"I deserved to be miserable"

Love is the speaker of the soul
For when you want to be heard
You pour all the sound you can muster
And create something so loud
It makes a deafening sound of satisfaction
"I wanted to be heard!"

But most of all, love is a storm
Rage and angst swerving across a field
Of a once peaceful and bright place
You can only dream of returning
"Love is a storm" you said
Before drowning yourself for relief

How is it allowed to be that lovely?
A rush I can't shake up, oh so timely
Smile so **** pure feels much holy
Beauty grander than days of sunny

Good old songs from distant past
Love and adoration I could not mask
All those things she could ask
If falling in love with her forever lasts

Blue is a color not in her palette
Since her world knows no dejected orbit
A face I've been waiting for a whole week
Bringing the sunlight after her feet

If only she could be just one color
My heart wont be in so much trouble
But when the rain I curse was pouring
A rainbow of her hues is all I'm wishing

Day and night would be
The only thing separating you and me
You loved the sun, I adored the moon
Our love I knew won't matter soon

But before words be said and done
I wish to finally become the one
To finally own up to the words
"I would choose you over any other world"

Be it the moon, be it the sun
Be it my face when tears dry run
Just for a moment let me be
The one who'll choose you over me

Time I knew is of the essence
You and I could be less in mere seconds
So I'll save my tears for our next life
To where I know this love may survive

Look away and don't smile
Don't look into my eyes
I knew those views will only hurt
Crush and tear my heart apart

Polar opposite faces of a coin
Different yet fates rejoined
You loved the sun, I adored the moon
This love I knew will wither soon

And when you certainly do depart
I will let you go and see it's worth
To the next life, I'll be--
Waiting for us to finally be

Honey, you can smile now
Free your emotions running loose
As summer comes through
Picture the days
With better skies

Help yourself with the breeze
Brushing excitedly against--
Each crease along your skin
Remember how these sceneries
Would be the first of many

Leave everything on the bay
And watch the waves carry it away
Honey, worry not and hope
For everyday to be like
The summer we'll spend

Brace for brighter days
As we clear your clouded world
Savor the better days
Honey, worry not
You can smile now

For a long time I tried
To hold on to these tears
All the while realizing
How each drop is a part of me
I could have saved

Dear and close to my heart
Are each memory I have of you
All undeniably good times
And they only get better and better
As time regrettably pass

I would not want to waste another day
Crying on the thought of us
Daydreaming maybe, just maybe
You would eventually find your way
Back to me, again

We could have been a beautiful story
Two platonic worlds colliding
But fantasies will always be
As disappointing as the life
I am struggling to live

Consider how affectionate
The stars should be
Just to share
A bit of your curiosity

Say, how the light that seemed
To flicker even in the darkest
Part of the cold night
Have rendered itself helpless

I tried to be a still wave
On a rampaging ocean
Just to have something in your life
Unmoving and predictable

Years and years gone by
Yet, you still can't shake the eeriness
Of the thought of us
Standing still for an eternity

So, I sat before you
While you gaze upon the blanket
Of the stars I wish I've laid
Hoping for you to keep your words

Not here, not now
Please, let me forget
The impending scene
Where you'd become a speck

On a heap of yesterday's memory.
