you see things as i would observe them
my thoughts are not that different from yours
your instincts almost simultaneous with mine
i say your words before you do

i know my patience and endurance
so i'm testing their boundaries
checking the possibilities
not worring about the consequences
and i'd take anything as a promise to hold onto at this moment
as long as it turns into something to look forward to
even if it's a rain check
your few words. and i'll wait.

The City Lights

-by Umbrellas-

If you see me at midnight

Walking the streets

You'll know it was me for I cannot sleep

I've pushed away the dreams

And spoiled the quiet

I'm propelled by fear

And not the righteous

So have you been to a place like this?

To see your breath as it paints against the sky

The fever is near

I wish you were here

I'm thinking ambitious

I've got this feeling things will be alright

So go break a leg night

Been given the green light

So go entertain them

They're waiting for you

They're waiting for you

So have you been to a place like this?

To see your breath as it paints against the sky

Feeling so right and things will run

The fever is near

I wish you were here

Wish you were here

i untied the ribbon and opened the box that was locked years back.
what was inside was still precious and sparkled with radiance,
my hands reached it, yet neither my head nor my heart reacted this time.
it's great to feel indifferent, having everything reset. it's good to see things clear.

no more dreaming, no more regretting, no more taunting,
i am satisfied with your present, my present.
