I greet the night,
chasing after your profile left only in my revolving memories,
You said, “I can’t be there for you.” when you left me
but the tears embracing your cheeks couldn’t comfort me
Every time you felt like you’d be swallowed up in the waves of
contradiction and expectations, you always held back your tears, you know?
“What a strong,pure person”, they said, but everyone overestimated you
and before you knew it you lost sight of who you really are
Then the sun I thought would always be near me collapsed
and the light shut off
Rubbing out the truths and the lies of one day, altogether
I greet the morning
still, ironically, chasing after your shadow in my revolving dreams.

I greet the night,
chasing after your profile left only in my revolving memories,
You said, “I can’t be there for you.” when you left me
but the tears embracing your cheeks couldn’t comfort me
Every time you felt like you’d be swallowed up in the waves of
contradiction and expectations, you always held back your tears, you know?
“What a strong,pure person”, they said, but everyone overestimated you
and before you knew it you lost sight of who you really are
Then the sun I thought would always be near me collapsed
and the light shut off
Rubbing out the truths and the lies of one day, altogether
I greet the morning
still, ironically, chasing after your shadow in my revolving dreams.
