I feel like I've been looking from afar
So detached, a door left ajar.
I'm wondering what I should do
To bring myself back to you.

But coming back has its hardships too
Your heart may have stopped
Or another could then be with you
I don't know if my confidence will come through

Our minds are weary
Its time to take a break
Your heart feels heavy
Oh, how I know, it sinks.


Yet, would you still brave the wild for me?

I got so used to being with you
knowing you and memorizing your tics and the way you spoke,
I hadn't realized real time apart
would change both of us to the point that looking at you now only feels like speaking with a person I just met

So let me disguise myself as a human and try to drown the ghost.
Because I've been so distant lately, it's getting difficult to remember.
I just want to be normal, human and feel, feel things when people say them,
And understand pain again.
With bruised knuckles and cigarette burns, my hands held onto yours,
But did it even happen, if neither of us felt like we were there.

Inseparable Love

Inseparable lives, inseparable love,
Love holds us tight,
Warm memories glow bright,

As cherry blossoms glow bright,
In the Seoul sunlight,

On that day,
We made the promise always to stay,

Even in death,
Our Souls would, not part,

Hoping my prayers,
Still, reach your spirit,

Seeing your beautiful love in dreams,
Calling out to you,
My inseparable love,

I miss holding you in my arms,
I love you.

I thought we were going to be best friends
For a really, really long time.
I thought that you would never leave
Especially without a warning.
And now it seems that you don’t want me
Anymore.
You don’t feel the need for me
Anymore.
I feel like a part of me has been
Ripped apart.
Apart from my body.
My heart.
I don’t know what I did
But I’m sorry.
Please come back to me.
I can’t seem to stop crying.

Cold Sunshine

The sun occupies my days,
From dawn to dusk,
Looking for bright days,

The sun shines bright,
But my days are always dark,

Lonely days,
Hearing your voice carried on the wind,
Telling me, not to give up,

Thinking still of you,
Remembering your hugs,
As my cold days slip away,

Remembering when you left,
My sunshine and happiness went away,
The day the sunshine became cold.

I can't seem to get you out of my head.
Every thought, every memory, I dread.
Why did it end up this way?
Everything that has happened is not okay.
Why can't everything go back to the way they used to be?
I miss everything we had, don't you see?
I miss talking to you day and night.
Now, I'm wondering if we're going to be alright.
How come we drifted so far apart?
Can't you see what it's doing to my heart?
I'm the only one who cries myself to sleep.
Everything about us, I wish I could keep.
But everything between us just isn't the same,
and you're the only one to blame.

I looked through a make-believe mirror today,

And saw what I have forever longed to see:

Myself in another person.



Our souls were of the same colour, and our thoughts swam at the same depth.

Our lips formed the same words and our faces shifted

the same way through conversations,

Even though I am a ship

And my reflection, the horizon.



As I am, so was my reflection cold and distant at times,

Though she was right next to me.



And I have never been good company for myself;

neither was I for her

For she was cold and I was cold

So she strayed towards warmth and

Away from herself

Towards a happiness that I could not provide.

She found it among other souls and

They made a rainbow through the night.



I found my dream and lost it too;

I see my reflection every day

But now my heart is broken.
How do you bring a person back to you when you see them drifting away? Let them find happiness for themselves.
