Water drops slid down
on my bedroom windowpane
and I wondered if I'd ever feel something good again.
I remember just that night as if it's happening right now, obsessed with asking why, asking when, and asking how.

Feeling absolutely lonely, left me like a hollow shell,
No more cares or worries to be shared, I had no stories left to tell.
I felt like life had left me, like my rib cage split in two, and ever since that night...
I realize now...
I dreamt of you.


It's funny how life's trials can inhibit us
to see the innate good in people
or what's truly meant to be.
We all become so jaded and so strictly "Bulletproof"
that we shut out all our senses and resign to just aloof.
But the point that I'd been missing
is now shining crystal clear...
I had to face these trials just so I could meet you here.

So please say that you'll hear me when I need to call your name,
and please don't ever fear me, I promise you it's not a game.
Everyone who ever passes through has their own side to tell,
Each and every one of us has suffered our own hell.
I won't pretend to have the answers
or to know the reasons why,
but the way this path's unfolding seems commanded from the sky.

Apparently, my voice was heard.
Gods had messages to tell.
A warden to protect my heart...
They sent me Gabriel.
