The winter that crept slowly
As the fire prepares to sleep soundly
If we have to live in this grim cold
Know that we'll endure as we grow old
For we hope that hearts will soon thaw
And tomorrow bear true love without flaw
As the crystal water can't wait to flow
And gray sky melts with renewed glow

The taste that beg to never leave
This warm moment is hard to believe
Hiding from their eyes, we stay still
In a room meant for release, let me feel
Our eyes meet and souls twist for the ****
Warm love waiting as skins begin to peel
Praying for the fire as we both kneel
Staying together is hard to believe
This love that beg to never leave

Bouquet of pink roses wrapped in conversations
All I wanted was to see you happy and fill the vase
Your door will never be wide open for this affection
But I'm happy that I'm allowed at the doorstep place
Because I'm the lucky winner of past rejections
I'm bad at connecting strings and keeping bonds
Yet the doorbell still rings a welcoming sound
And when I stand on the welcome mat, the world warms
Because I'm the lucky winner in your embracing arms

To the girl who lit up a dark alleyway
The butterflies in my stomach won't stop
I do not know how, nor I wish to make it stop
If you're a streetlight that'll guide me
Is it rude to ask you to glow and stay longer?
We lose a part of ourselves as we go to grow
Dimly-lit path, everyone feels like a stranger
But you look familiar with that smile of yours
Suddenly, I almost thought it was a new morning
You're not a shining star watching from far away
You're a firefly, making the most of borrowed time
But don't ever stop lighting up a dark alleyway
An everglow, you are what makes it worth the time

The words to let you know that I miss you
Were lost in life's current and I became selfish
But I never stopped watching you from the sidewalk
So you can walk safely to your own happiness
The words to hopefully make you stay here
Were lost when you pushed away a sweet embrace
But I realized that it's okay to let you go
So you can find home in someone's happiness
The words to remind you to take care and be happy
Were lost in misunderstandings and rough closure
But don't worry, I'll give it to someone else
So we can move on and make others happy
The words to tell you that I'm still yours
Were lost in the truth that it was long past
But I'll never stop giving a part of me always
So I can find home in someone's happiness

Not all people would want to be with you
We are all lost souls looking for a place to haunt
Not everybody is someone we can please
We can't force them to stay even with a "please"
Friends and loved ones, different hearts
We may share the same moment, but not heartbeat
Never forget to make effort for those you care about
It doesn't have to be grand or huge or loud
For a mild one like a touch of a baby is enough
Because if you love someone and offered them lodging
We always make an effort for the people who matter

Our story might've not been one for bookstores
It didn't end on a good note or peaceful credits
But you'll find that the front door is always open
I tried different locks and different people to get by
But you're still the key that'll let me come back home
In your living room, I felt like living again for good
But it was wishful thinking, a fool's dream
And I have to live a life without the best
And if I have to live again, I must let go
But I can't, and I won't
