Trying to make the most of this life.

I fell in love next to you,

I must accept

There is no shame

having your name engraved on my heart.

Finally I could hold my whole world in my arms.

You drifting away into a dream…

I stole a kiss…

My heart may be rusty and hollow

But I cherish every moment I spend with you

I feel so close, even when we are distant.

Dreams collide as I try to imagine a world without you…

Holding on to something so precious.

Feeding my feelings with true lies

Swallow my best as I am ready to fall next to you

Separated hearts

One soul…

Controlling the uncontrollable

Revealing the changes of…

Revealing my true self to you.

Not a single word was said

But, the bitterness

in my heavy heart disappeared

as I remembered you.

Your eyes opened my world.

I have forgotten the past…

Only dreaming of a better place

Where I don’t sound so hollow…

On the leaves of yesterday…
