Secret Sacrifice
Staring so long
but you didn't see me
I'm here beside you
but never you've noticed me
I can feel your warmth
but coldness surrounds me
This is how hard
a ghost used to be.
I wanted to hold you
but my hands could touch nothing;
I wanted to embrace you
so I keep on waiting
Waiting for the right time
of such a happy ending
But I know that's absurd
such an impossible thing.
I'm invisible in your eyes,
just like the wind that blows;
Such a shadow in the light
you're ignoring me though
Nothing but a spirit,
will you treat me as a foe?
It's all because I love you,
if you could only know.
Maybe you're wondering
what's your connection with me
Someday you'll know,
someday you'll see.
I preferred to die,
For you to be happy
And it's only my heart
which will save you in melancholy.
Now I'm so glad,
I could see your smile
Your beautiful grin
is my one and only dime
I feel like I'm in heaven
even just for a while
Not only a ghost
who hovers everytime.
Sometimes I wonder,
what if I'm the one you loved?
What if not her,
it is me that you have?
What if I chose to stay,
still has heartbeats, still alive;
Will you return my feelings
or with her you'll choose to die?
