May 2012
The rain woke me up in the middle of the night,
I looked at you sleeping peacefully
Tried to take the sheet, but you held it too tight,
I thought the world was opening up to me.

So I got out of the bed, walked out of the room,
Willing to see the world but not feeling so well
On my hands, there still was your perfume
I left a note on the table, as a farewell.

Finally outside, take a deep breath,
I keep telling myself "It's okay, it's alright"
Now I need to leave, go far away from Death
I have to walk under the moonlight.

Deep inside my mind are running ideas
Of what the world really is like,
Only a spark could take it down in ashes
Only happiness will make you stop the strike.

But first you have to find happiness,
And where to in this cruel world ?
You have to search and search again, unless
You've already found the rarest of pearls.

Leaves are cracking beneath my feet,
And I can feel the thin, cold breeze
The wind whispers with every heartbeat
With only myself, I'm feeling at ease.

Walking barefoot like Gandhi
Alone under the deep dark sky
With only stars for company,
I suddenly feel the need to cry.

This is such a beautiful night,
And yet nobody takes time to see the world like I do
People live blindfolded all their lives,
They cannot see the beauty, and neither can you.

You think about your problems and look for a solution,
Is this really the meaning of your life ?
Everybody constantly is in motion,
It's like they need to worry to survive.

Hit the pause button, even rewind if you need
You're avoiding something real somehow
Don't think, just watch, worry is a ****
This is a wonderful world, you just can't see it right now.
