Wave 7: Immortal Dreams
Feelings that never waver
Emotions that remain unshaken
After being drowned by the sea
Love still stays on the ocean's surface
And so we continued to live on
Living every day to the fullest
Riding with the tides of time
The waves that slowly takes his life away
I spend time talking to him
Taking him to various places
Making him happy every minute
Seeing his smiles was gold to me
It pains me to see him suffering
If only I can share some of it
Lessening the burden on him
Going through this together
But he still remained strong
Pretending even if he is not
Always insisting the word "Fine"
Which became his reassuring phrase
He never fails to amaze me
Despite being in struggle,
He never complains
He never weeps on it
He told me once,
"It is better to do something about it
Than to curse your fate
You should not let it see your weakness"
"Crying in a corner won't help
In changing anything
It only wastes time
So why weep?"
Time continues to slip from our hands
Like water that slowly drains away
Like his existence that is slowly drifting away
Slowly stealing him from me
I wondered, did fate became jealous?
Why break the flower of our bond
When it is just starting to bloom?
If that is so,
We will not lose
We will show our strength
A bond that no one can break
Together, we set sail
On the sea of hope
Riding upon the tides of time
Cherishing every minute together
A love that never ends
I will follow him anywhere
Even into the depths of the sea floor
This feelings will be immortal
