Blurb: Because There Was You

  Because There Was You "When you were with me, I was happy. Your love kept me alive, and when you weren’t here, I began to die day by day. I have no regrets falling in love with you. I’m sad that you’re not with me anymore."

Blurb: Be A Man

Be A Man "I want you and love you, so don’t be afraid. I won’t turn away from your love because I love you. I love you when you look and smile at me, but it also hurts me to see you with someone else. It hurts me when you’re not telling me how you feel inside."

Blurb: Back to You

Back to You "I thought you really cared for me, but I was wrong. You walked away faster than the falling rain and faster than my beating heart. Now everything has come together. Everything is in place, piece by piece and lie by lie."

Blurb: Back to Loneliness

Back to Loneliness "Now, I’m holding my own hands and falling into my own dreams without you. I guess this means back to loneliness. Back to the seconds and minutes of living without love. I live these moments like I used to before you entered my life and made it brand new. Today, I live without you, without love, without worries, and without the warmth. Back to loneliness of those moments when I saw you, but I didn’t take your hands. Back to those moments when our eyes didn’t meet, when the words of love didn’t come from you, and when everything was innocent and quiet."

Blurb: Baby Try

  Baby, Try "Try, baby, try, just to give us one more chance. Try, baby, try, to go back to our loving days. Our love has gone far from what we want it to be. If you’d just try, we can be together again. All we need is a chance for our love to grow. We’ve been waiting for all our lives to get through this, but if there isn’t a chance, we won’t get through it. Forget the pain that we’d created for each other."

Blurb: Autumn Without You

  Autumn Without You The wind rattling, the smell of the leaves, and the feelings I have when autumn comes. It’s the season of warmth and hopes. When the wind comes rattling along the emptiness, I suddenly think the wind is your footsteps. I walk along the road looking back and forth as the cars pass by me. I see two people sitting in the car, and I always think they’re you and me.

Blurb: Autumn Love

Autumn Love "The afternoon has come with the laughter coming from far away. Footsteps are coming from down the distance, and happiness is coming like the falling leaves outside the autumn afternoon. I remember yesterday when we walked together on this road, and I remember the love we had last autumn. Today, there’s nothing here."

Blurb: Another Try

Another Try "Let us forget those sorrowful days when we fought, when you walked away from me, and when I walked away from our love. All we need is one more chance. Just another try for our love and we can both make it work this time. We can love each other like we’ve never done before in our lives. The roads ahead are long, but we shouldn’t give up and shouldn’t fall down."

Blurb: Another Sad Goodbye

 Another Sad Goodbye "I know it was just another sad goodbye and another bad mistake. It was only one heartbreaking moment that you gave me, but whenever I think of it, my love for you just fades away. I want to hold and love you so much, but I can’t imagine you walking away again. If you could’ve walked away for no reason before, you’ll do it again."

Blurb: Another Day

Another Day "I knew all along that I was lying to myself and to my heart. I told myself you’d change and that you’d love me.  I lied to myself that you only hurt me because you loved me. However, lies after lies, I knew you didn’t love me the way I wanted you to love me."

Blurb: Alone

Alone "How many more falling tears before you change your mind and return to me? How many more hours spending right here wishing and hoping before you come and erase these burning tears? If I have to sit here and count the passing hours just to get your love back, it’d be worth every second of my lonely life."

Blurb: Always the Last to Know

Always the Last to Know Smile to hide the pain deep in my heart. Smile to hide the sorrows you’ve left for me. Winter comes and goes, but why is it so cold in my summer days? Why is it so dark in my love? Is it because of the way you left? Or is it because I keep on thinking about someone who never really loved me?

Blurb: Alone in the Night

 Alone in the Night I can’t stop thinking about you, and I can’t close my eyes without hearing the sounds. I hear the beating of our hearts like when you were still with me. I can hear your heart so close, yet you’re so far away. Alone in the night, I hear everything from the water dripping to the flickering lights.
