I want to reach new heights,
fly like there's no tomorrow,
I want to scoop the world in my palms
and protect it from deadly folks and deep hollows.

It's my dream,

a simple desire,

am I asking for too much?

or am I just being naive?

It pains me to see everything crumble away,
pains me to see that we're living at the end of the days,

it pains me to just stare at the stars,

and wish to vanish as far

as my soul can escape.
Sometimes, we must realize the world we're living in and try to think about how we can save it from turning into ashes and dust.

I regret not looking directly in your eyes
and telling you
how much I love you.

I regret not holding your hands
when we were at the bus stop
standing under the rain
under the same umbrella.

I regret not saying 'I do'
when you were right in front of me;
smiling and waiting for me
to become your wife.

I regret it all.

I really do.
Regret is such an intense feeling that can leave you breathless...

There were times when I smiled,
but it wasn't real.
It hurt my lips,
it hurt my heart
and yet I smiled,
because I didn't want the others
to feel unhappy
or realize what I'm going through.
Based on true emotions.

I dreamed big,
I dreamed so much,
I dreamed with positivity,
but my dreams cracked,
When you told me that you loved her
instead of me.
Sometimes dreams don't come true...

I look at the stars and wonder,
when will I become one?
Will I ever become one?
Will I ever get to shine like it?
Will I ever get to make someone smile?

I look at the stars and my heart begins to beat faster,
my blood is rushing and my tears start to run down my blushed cheeks.
I have so much hope in me,
so much hope that can only be visible if you wish to see.
Just like the stars,
I'm visible,
but invisible to the reckless eye.

You see the moon; the brightest star,
but you miss the tiny me that's right beside.
However, I promise you.
I promise you that one day I will shine,
Not like the moon,
but like the sun;
the even brightest star.
There are so many people out there losing hope. Let's give them some, shall we?

I'm waiting for you,
hoping to live my life with you.

It seems hopeless for now,
but I believe deeply that my dreams
will surely come true.

We are apart,
just like the north and south pole,
but you have no idea
how amazing God's plan is,

He can unite us with a snap of his fingers,
He can give us a life we never dreamt of.
This is for you, my love.

"Let not this world deceive you,
don't let it win,
don't make it your companion.
Don't drown in the fear it instills in your heart,
don't heed its sinful, yet captivating words.
Don't give in to its limitless beauty,
don't smile when it kisses your skin.
Don't let it force you to take a puff,
don't let it intoxicate you.
Don't let it order you,
don't let it make you dependent on it because eventually, it'll leave you.
Let not this world deceive you, my friend,
it might be kind-hearted, it might love you, but it'll also take you to hell with it.
It's a poison no one dares touch,
it's a prison no one dares enters."
What do you think of this world?
