"AFRAID"


Tonight, as I see the stars above shinning

Couldn't help with a bittersweet smile

I am afraid today for you are part of my yesterday

I am afraid for tomorrow because I can't bring you back

I am just afraid to move my feet


Tonight, as I see the gloomy stars above

I think of you as one of the stars that smile

I am afraid to start that change for I don't know how to begin life alone

I am afraid to the darkness this night gives

I am afraid to get going


Come hold my hand, enough for me to stand

Come and be near, enough for me to smell your scent

Come and hold my hand enough for me to see how enchanting this starry night gives

Come and hold my tiny light enough for me to see your unibrow.


Let me see the beauty of those shinning stars

Let me feel your warmth in your embrace

Let me close my eyes while I make a wish for my star

Let me be afraid while holding me not to be afraid.


its ok to be different,
