Look now, it's the woman that I love
The moment I saw her, I knew she's from above
An angel sent to inspire someone like me
I closed my eyes, started counting one, two, and three
Trying to calm this longing heart
For this, I knew she's the other half of it
Even though she's someone else's love
It's better to be this way
Wanting to be with her through the day
From miles away, she already looked so bright
Enough to lighten up this dark world of mine
Is it really the way how I should love you?
You seem so in love with that man beside you
So I'll look away and continue walking down the road
Where am I? It feels like I'm homeless yet I have a home
Why does it pains me, feeling all alone
When in the first place, you're his and not mine
I don't have a chance, right?
I only know how to love you from afar
When you smile, I'm recharged
When you laugh, I'm captivated
When you dream, I'm motivated
But when you cried that rainy day, I felt drained
Why? What happened? I wanted to ask you those questions
You ran towards my direction when you saw me at the corner
I felt stiff when you buried your face in my chest
I hope you'll never hear that small heart beat
He cheated on you? am I right?
You were head over heels in love with that man
And now you're crying, longing to feel alright
How should I comfort you?
For I am just a childhood friend for you
I wanted to do things the way I want
But I knew I have to give you time
To let you alone and move on from that man
Should I wait another decade?
Should I not tell you how I feel?
Should I hide myself in that corner, where I waited for years?
Should I-
I forgot what I was going to say
You looked at me with those lovely eyes
Burning with passion as you kissed my forehead, damn feels so right
Those dark days of waiting, now I see the light
At the end of the tunnel, you whispered
You're having another nightmare, love
Right, to hell with this illusion of mine
You chose to be with me instead of that stupid man
Now I remembered what really happened in this reality
Let me recall the first lines
Look now, it's the woman that I love
The moment I saw her, I knew she's from above
An angel sent to inspire someone like me
I closed my eyes, started counting one, two, and three
Trying to calm this longing heart
For this day, she married me years ago
She kissed me goodnight, nightmares no more
