clair de lune [ moonlight]



Blooms like a wild flower, smells like a casting spell.  
Your affections are making me weak just like a beautiful seashell.
As I calm my heart with defying pain, tears break a wall.
Light from the darkness you were there guiding the path I take.

Here I am waiting for you to shine and change your pace.
Create distance to be aware of the shattered pieces of you, us.
Feels like my moonlight became my wonderful lullaby, I can't sleep.
All I see when I look into your eyes, strange feeling to feel so deep.
