in the midst of empty silence
i let my tears bathe my eyes
i curled up, just like inside a womb
for the pain is too much, i wish i could hide...

forever is a place we never reached,
yesterday is a road littered with regrets,
today is a mirror of my brokenness
tomorrow, i dread to see the remnants of spoiled promises...

i looked up the starless skies
feeling my tired heart crippled with ache
learning the bitter lesson that though you're near
i can only dream that somehow, you're HERE

now i wish i could fly
to be above the clouds...and cry,
so my tears will fall with the rain
so a part of me could touch you again...
