❝ 𝑶𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝒖𝒑𝒐𝒏 𝒂 𝒅𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒎, 𝑰 𝒔𝒆𝒆 ,
A smiling face right before me ,
So pure like a lily, so innocent like a daisy ,
A pink camellia-I long for you yet your mind is hazy .
𝒀𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒉𝒂𝒊𝒓 𝒇𝒍𝒐𝒘𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒂𝒓𝒎 𝒔𝒖𝒎𝒎𝒆𝒓 𝒃𝒓𝒆𝒆𝒛𝒆 ,
A smile on my face, my sadness vanishing with ease ,
Your cheery voice ringing in my ears ,
Fear-as tears roll down my cheeks, for so many years .
𝑴𝒚 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒍𝒅 𝒊𝒔 𝒑𝒖𝒓𝒆𝒍𝒚 𝒊𝒏 𝒃𝒍𝒂𝒄𝒌 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒘𝒉𝒊𝒕𝒆 ,

Crimson closing in, my heart feeling so heavy .
𝑩𝒍𝒖𝒓𝒓𝒚 𝒗𝒊𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏, 𝒃𝒍𝒐𝒐𝒅𝒔𝒉𝒐𝒕 𝒆𝒚𝒆𝒔 ,
All the time and effort I've sacrificed ,
A better life, a better end ,
I can't bear the guilt; all I can do is pretend .
𝑰 𝒘𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅 𝒈𝒐 𝒕𝒉𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈, 𝒂𝒏𝒚𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 ,
If it means I can see you again ,
But for now I will wait ,
For your return I shall await . ❞
