This riverbed of our joy
Was your creation
Now deepening like an abyss
As I continued to erode it
Life's every ripple
Has become a tide
O, I have flooded you
With my mirage of grief
Whose existence I deny
Yet so lifelike to swallow me;
Please, lean towards the light
To grow the buds of your virtues
For my mirky waters maim you
When the currents of my emotions
Fling my stone-sharp negativity
At your beautiful heart
And break it every time;
So when my tempest of tears come,
Despite our throbbing love
Drumming in harmony with our heartbeats' melody
Swim.
And do not drown with me.

This riverbed of our joy
Was your creation
Now deepening like an abyss
As I continued to erode it
Life's every ripple
Has become a tide
O, I have flooded you
With my mirage of grief
Whose existence I deny
Yet so lifelike to swallow me;
Please, lean towards the light
To grow the buds of your virtues
For my mirky waters maim you
When the currents of my emotions
Fling my stone-sharp negativity
At your beautiful heart
And break it every time;
So when my tempest of tears come,
Despite our throbbing love
Drumming in harmony with our heartbeats' melody
Swim.
And do not drown with me.
