Short Story of Us

Is there a special someone in your heart?

After he left, life has to carry on

Signs of his existence,

Are wiped away gradually by the quiet life

Those distant and fine moments of youth

Have turned into fading memories

Withering slowly.

In the lapse of time,

We run around in circles

Will that person,

Will he be in that original place,

Waiting for you?

It all started in a strange place,

where there are butterflies in the chest.

You: I don't believe in fate.

I: But I believe in it.

I know what it means to follow one's heart and not go beyond one's bounds.

I'll dive deep

I have fallen all the way

Happily, there's no escape

I've surrender to my heart

Fantasy, feel it rushing over me

You are flamboyant, like a ball of flame in the depths of the sea; tempting and enticing, but full of danger.

But I'm cold and my voice is like a fog, hiding sunken depths of sadness and loneliness.

This are the things that need to be endured. For it'll be fine after getting used to it.

You are as pure as freshly-fallen snow,

Laying a finger on a woman like me would only sully you,

And so, I must bid you goodbye

However, even we insist that some love should be forbidden,

The heart still wants what it wants.

Little by little

No one in middle

Chatting with giggle

We settle and become a couple

Dancing with you is simple

My love's not a riddle

In this world,

What I've seen and what I've read

Building a block of useless thread

What lies within that cannot be seen outside

And what's visible that hides the truth of the inside

But with you, it blinds me of assurance to my insides

The days weren't over, we're happily together

You brushes me away as callously as the autumn wind blows away the fallen leaves.

The moment is so perfect as we vow

Yours:

I'll give my love to you who shined gently like the moonlight on the path I walk.

As I respond:

I hope to shine on you forever.

When did everything starts to turn wrong?

We're carried by being perfect,

I've forgotten, this is a show-made of you to vaunt

A man's heart is indeed like a needle in the sea - impossible to search for, impossible to understand.

I've totally forgotten that this heart of yours is as wide as the sea and that I'm nothing but a grain of sand.

I remembered this tale,

"Like a stone dropped into the flow of our history

While creating ripples, it also flows with the current

And gradually loses direction within that unknown current."

It was all just temporary fireworks. No matter how beautiful it was, they would just end up in the pitch black sky.

My heart only wish for one thing,

Even if we stop talking to each other,

I want you to know that its possible to love in silence.

'Cause life is real, it's not an enigma,

We wait patiently to see what it holds.

But when will I truly understand that when some things leave us, no matter how hard we try, they'll never come back?

Now, Little by little

Memories ripple

Time smiles at a sweet old couple

Cuz day by day all of our dreams settle

If I could only have this life for one more day

If I could only turn back time

I would still choose to be with you

Spend again all the things we do

But I must accept the fact that all is over.

Now, I'll bid farewell for my painful past with a hopefull cry, childish goodbye, bitter smile and a blessed mind.
