Under a curtain of white and blue
A sunbeam leads the way
And in the middle of the darkest night
Starlight, though dim it seems
Comforts my heart, longing to reach out to you.

Hurting each other for so long
Keeping lying tongues and pretentious hearts
Seems the most rational thing
Diverting my heart from missing you.

Now that we are far apart
I wish this waiting will not last
Wishing to God to give us time
To cherish, to care, to live and love.

My mind was at 15% Okay-Whatever-I'll-go, and 85%-Ay-Uray-idtana! (NO WAY!) The schedule was postponed twice because of my health c...
