Lila

On the horizon the shepherd boy once followed
There should have been, just as always
The familiar stars I had known

Blinking like falling drops of water
Coloring my memories
The owl returned the night
Light reflecting across the sky, crossing the sea

Far away
Because I want you close to me
Let’s protect what’s precious
Looking into your hazel-colored eyes

Even in a black-and-white world, I search for meaning
In the middle of my endless self-questioning, if it’s with you
I want to keep dreaming
Even if the blue in the story has no meaning
If I become transparent, let me be colored by it
To keep our promises

With worn-out words
With familiar phrases lined up
I can no longer see my true self
I start wanting to go somewhere far away

What kind of dream were you having?

Everything about you
Is something I can’t live without
Floating softly through the air
Turning every emotion into excitement

On wavering days
I want to stay simple within the wind
After learning so many things, I
Still want to love what I love

I fell in love with you, wrapped in transparent sadness
Yet you smile and say: I came back to see you again
That day, I heard the sound of a flute

In this irrational world
Even if I find lies
The sleeping stars flee away
We finally reached the forest of dreams
What only you believe in
Is what only I can protect
