In the midst of joy and pride,
in all of the laughters and smiles in all direction of sights,
just words and figures being thrown upon all over and over,
I didn't realize everything had gone wrong before, I hadn't seen her
Just words, just talk, and not even the right kind of it.
I didn't want to know, I didn't ask, oh why must we have ears to hear?
I guess I still am just as fragile as before,
Though light upon light I tried to rebuild, yet it was destroyed by the mere sight of days of yore.
I saw a figure, yellow and bright, and a smile as lovely as one could wish for,
I heard a voice, so confident yet playful, and a voice i heard everyday but none ever more.
and by that the news of a new contender for that heart of yours.
By only that, that could ever shatter my mind into pieces I could never hope to find for.
Heaven only knows that I still could never remove you from my heart,
Just like the lingering shadow in the corner of my room,
you always haunt and stay until the night is dark and none could ever see.
I’ll forgive all the lies that you told that won’t be with another person, just go there and be happy
But could I at least have a request?
Just like all the others, to help me, to help you,
If you could never be the one to stay forever,
could you at least leave me be so I could be better?
