BORAHAE

PurpleSiz 1987 (Zamboanga Sibugay Province)



BORAHAE
Darkness was all around me
The skies if not blue, they were gray
Everything was painted black
Colors seemed to leave and won't come back

But then I saw somewhere shining bright
A blinding, beautiful purple light

I saw you there, you were standing
In the middle of that vast purple ocean
I purple you, you said, smiling
I will trust and love you for a long time

I purple you, always and forever
I purple you, won't leave you ever
I'll stay with you 'til the end of time
I will love you 'til my breath runs dry

Right there and then, my world lights up
You bring colors back to my life
Now I can see very clearly
Everywhere I look, there is beauty

You promised, you will always be there
You said, we're the brightest stars in your universe You are the reason of my purple light
Because of you, I glow, even in the darkest night

A rainbow reminds me of you
And when I see purple, I see you
I love you, saranghae
I purple you, BORAHAE
