I love those eyes that look for the stars

The moon bleeding into the sea of clouds

Large rays of light spilling forth, just clear the night


Like crossing the sky, I want to reach your heart

Out of one hundred words, one hundred prayers

I want to deliver only one


Softly, softly

The moment the dawn makes the earth sprout


In the moments of missing you

I mutter, I want to meet you

This grating loneliness makes me

Hold my breath as I wait

To visit the morning called you

But you’re far too far, I can’t reach you


This love that has just been born

I want to tell you about its frightening youth

From a small corner of the universe,

I want to offer a single prayer


Softly, softly

When the faint light of dawn is at its fullest

Softly, softly

The moment the earth is bathed in dawn


In the moments of missing you

I mutter, I want to meet you

Beyond the cold night

What I was holding onto was

Just eight characters within the dawn

I want you to be by my side
