Like A Firefly
Lots of beauties
Touched my heart
Some of them also came
Into the heart
But left all
I waited and waited
For a sincere person
Unfortunately,
My hope became despair
I could not find
Such one who could stay
In my heart forever
I am in the dark ways
Like a firefly,
I am light, within myself
The light of true love
To enlighten all hearts
And minds
For their way and destination.
