Wave 6: Drowning Dreams
Our lives has been shattered
Happiness was replaced by sadness
Destroyed by the messengers of health
A message that changed our lives
That day,
When he felt ill,
I forced him to go
To the ones that can help him
I regretted that afterwards
Painful words were forced into our ears
Making me grew deaf from the melodies of the world
Making me grew speechless
He was inflicted with a terrible sickness
Something incurable to humankind
At that time,
I felt like the world smashed me alive
Rain of sorrow continues to fall
To the world without color,
The land without sunshine
Taking away the meaning of joy and hope
The birds glides freely on the sky's sea
How I wish we could do the same
Flying happily with no direction
Staying together as they travel
I hated destiny once more
I continued to pray to the angels above
Unbound his attachments
Help him fight to victory
One day, I decided to take a walk beside the river
I was astonished when a paper boat appeared
Leaving a trail on the river's calm current
I found myself running after it
At the end of the trail, it was picked up by someone I knew
There, standing before me was very important to me
I was surprised when I saw him
For he was supposed to be resting right now
Cradling the paper boat of our dreams in his hands
He unfolded it and transformed it into another figure
From a boat to a plane
Letting it glide in the free wind
I felt hopeless
But didn't, he kept smiling
Which kept me going
He spoke his will with joy
"I wanted to spend the last year of my life happily
To your side that is
Let's do the same things as before
Let us enjoy this borrowed life"
I want to stay beside him
Till the end of time
Just like the sun and the moon
That is always together
