I never wanted to be vulnerable to anyone
Until I saw the two stars
I can seem to reach it with my fingertips
I always look up, see its beauty
But I wonder, does it ever see me too?

Because even thou darkness
Seems to envelope these stars
It shines bright, sparkled to my eyes
I always wait to see it
Do they look at me too
Through my eyes, my soul
My brightness, my darkness
Because I always do the same

Sometimes I wish
I can be a star in the sky too
If you'll ask me before why
I may reply: I want to be near
To those I always see

But now I don't think
Those stars are really shining
With bright colors that I could touch
Since those are with fire

Those are dangerous
Make me feel wrong
About everything,
About myself

Now I want to be a star on my own
Not the ones who is visibly seen
By anyone or anywhere in the world
I only want one to see me

Only for their eyes
Appreciate me
For who I am
While shining and not

And then maybe I could agree
To also be seen by others'
Cause one truly values me'
Cause one finally see me
