lie awake at night

We met here, two months ago to this day, didn’t we?
I didn’t even know how to kiss you back then, my first sweet girlfriend
It’s a silly little anniversary that I wrote down on my calendar
I asked, “What day is it again?” You hesitated a little and then replied

Smiling, you answer, “It’s my ex-boyfriend’s birthday,” I find it hard to smile
I don’t want to hear about that sort of thing…
Our time together still can’t match up to those 3 years you spent with him
But even though I love you this much, we drift apart too many times

We can’t seem to reach each other’s heart and rather than going on like this
Maybe we shouldn’t see one another until your heart can give me an answer
Even if that day is tomorrow or 5 years from now, I’ll always be waiting here
Let’s make a promise and firmly connect our two hearts with a red thread

The flower that was a bud back then already had elegant colors
As fall and winter passed, it withered away, reflecting me as I am now

Time passed by cruelly and I felt helpless, when I closed my eyes
I saw visions of you walking with somebody else…
It felt like I would never see you again
I resigned myself to never seeing you
And tried to hold my heart together, now I have the answer I believed in

“Will you meet me?” your letter full of truthful words says
My tears are spilling onto it, I’ll be there with you soon
So don’t cry, today’s our one year anniversary
Let’s celebrate that and our red thread, which never came untied
You can wish to be loved, but don’t forget that you need to believe
This might be a journey without a clear goal but that’s alright
I’ll walk the path I believe in with my true love, one step at a time
