I fell in love with a dreamer,
whom thoughts are only about his future
his captivating dreams
whom hands are only for painting the sky
and feet for chasing the sun

Sometimes I scream inside my head as I stare at his ambitious eyes
If only you could understand me

Please notice that
sometimes I'm so lonely
jailed inside your tiny sickening heart

Please notice that
sometimes I need a hand to hold
a laugh to hear
a breath to feel
a long night conversation while we lay under the starry sky

Please notice that
I don't need the most expensive things in the world,
you see,
I only need someone who would dance with me under the pouring rain

Please notice that the best treasure is not the one that is hidden under the tall waves
It's the one that's beating under your ribs
It's the one that comes from your crooked teeth
It's the one that is kept in our photo albums, where everything's natural and imperfect
and actually, beautiful

and though you think you're doing this,
chasing the sun and painting the sky for me
please stop for awhile
let's lay down here with me on the ground
let the breeze kisses your tired eyes and heal your scars
don't you see?
you don't need to win the world for me, for us
*we don't need it
