Waiting a star on a rainy night

I have only one dream

Meet you

Ask you to hear my heartbeat

Calling your name, whisper, and say

“I'm waiting for you

To light up my darkness

To give me a chance

To come back as your gravity.”

I want you to know one thing

You are the most precious than everything exist

And I’ll present you

All the tears, blood, and love

I stare at the sky, dark sky

Suddenly the storm comes

Help me wake up from this dream

Then make me realize

I have wasted my time

Waiting for nothing

YOU!

An impossible thing to get,

Like dreaming to see a star on a rainy night.

A kind of unreachable things to get,

Like trying to find a corner of this universe.

And now, I give up…
