Halfway there.
There is no turning back.
I must push, shove, and climb to stay on track.
There is no failure.
No starting to slack.
Until I have earned my merit
I must not crack.
My dried tear stains.
My bloodied wounds.
Have been exposed.
There is nothing
and yet everything to loose.
Somehow a mustard seed of hope stays intact.
For I want to see my name in the first position plastered on that plaque.
It might be a selfish act
but to see how you'd react
would in fact please me.
We'd both know how much I tried to reach this place
Back when I was
Halfway there.

Oh! sprinkle those magic dust
As I close these misty eyes.
Let me dream big, offshore
Beyond galaxies galore!
Show me! The limit
As I fall, from the clouds...
As the stars dissolve,
While I grab them tight...
As the earth circles fast,
In a point, STOPS.
All afloat, stared in fear.
S L O W
. . .  D E A F E N I N G   M O T I O N . . .
Making gravity stick
In diameter line.
Dividing grounds in two.

"Tis luck I got, facing the sky
while you, No! the ground..."

Wanna live mid-ground, mid-sky.
But to see, while looking down on you,
I stabbed my self, killing
My dreams halfway, wasted.

I caught a glance,
I thought you saw.
I know you from before,
you’re the boy my dreams draw.
Here I am down on earth,
there you are in the company of the moon.
You’re completely out of reach,
but I still dream to see you soon.

I’ve counted the nights
I’ve counted the stars
I’ll be catching fallen ones,
and put them in my jars.
Tired of wishing on shooting stars,
I’ll make it on my own.
Simply because, you’re my only dream
reality has ever known.

I’ll fly to the moon
with this star-made balloon.
And so here I am in the night sky
where my stars are city lights.
The farther I go,
the nearer I am to the risks I fright.

I kept going ‘til my stars lost flight
And so here I am,
halfway there
with you in sight.
I’ve got nothing to do
but wait here and stay,
while my mind countdowns ‘til the day.

I fell asleep with you in reach,
waiting for your rescue
because you’ve got my heart to teach.
This time I won’t leave.
This time I’d wait instead.
This time I’ll prove the promises
I haven’t even said.

Almost there,
but here I’ll stay.
Just wake me up,
when you’ve met me halfway.
