For I Saw

I made a wish for my death
For I saw a shooting star.
Man — in black hood with a hook,
Or a crook, o what you are,
I am but here in a nook.

 I made a wish for my death
For I tossed coins to the well,
Blew eyelashes on my palm,
Bought thirteen purple candles,
I am but here with a bomb.

 Of all wishes and wishes,
No hook nor crook on my door.
Of all coins and eyelashes,
I am but same as before.
I made a wish for my death.

I

I will be your light Whenever the dark comes I will be your knight Whenever you’re in fight. I will be your eyes Whenever you can’t see I will be your smiles When you’re in hardest times. I will be right here Whenever you’re in need It’s a crystal clear That we’ll fight together Carved it in your mind That I won’t be in front Nor in your behind But I’ll be in your side.

Dream Girl

You’re a kind of girl That makes me fall in love and blush But you just throw my heart to bush. Smiling even if I’m crying, Chin up even if tears are streaming, Hold you even if you trying to go, I love you even if you don’t love me so. Now I picking my broken heart from the floor, I loving you so but you just close the door, I give my heart to you but you break it apart Now I’m picking up the pieces of my heart. Why I gotta be so stupid to betray? Why I let my eyes be blind even today? I can not hide the truth that still I love you Even betraying me is all you know to do. I can not ignore,no, can’t ignore your charms You’re beautiful, how I want you to come to my arms! Holding hands while walking under the rain But baby you run away and break me again! You run away,again and again But I will love you once again Be my girl,bride,princess or my wife My heart,my soul and my life But you’re just my friend and dream girl.
