I remember you

I remember you in the rain
As we’d once felt each drop caress our skin.
I remember your sun-kissed hair
As the wind blows while we watch those foamy waves.

You told me you love the sun
Because with its rays you feel that you are free.
You told me of your desire
To set this land into liberty.

Perhaps I would never understand
Some of those things you said to me.
Perhaps I wouldn’t know
Whatever happened in those days you’re not with me.

But…
I wouldn’t forget the smile in your lips
When you listen to the chirping birds in the city.
I won’t forget the sadness in your eyes
When you feel that things just shouldn’t be.

The stiffness in your fair yet crumpled fist,
Is not forgotten, never would be.
The way you talk
Will forever be in my memory.

Because you fought for me
And for everybody.
And maybe, I’ll never see you again
But I know once in a while, we’ll remember you.

beating of my heart

If only I could play a guitar
I would string out some chords
to say what's on my mind.
Maybe I could make a song,
but all I have is the beating of my heart.

If I know how to press the piano keys
and know how to make some melody
perhaps I would compose a symphony
but would you feel sorry
if all I have is the rhythm of my heart?

I can sing, but I'm not good
so maybe I could hum a love song
but the wind'll just carry it away
so is it okay to be out of tune
when it expresses the message of my heart?

I know I cannot make some music
it won't be good to your ears
yet I wish you could hear
the music that I feel
when you're called by the beating of my heart.

my little star

I gazed at a star
it was a tiny soft light
and wished I could hold it
at the palm of my hand.

I'm sure it would be warm
to comfort me in the cold night
and maybe its little glow
will cheer my lonely heart.

One night I tried to find it
but can't see it anywhere.
Where's my little light?
Where's my tiny star?

"Mommy, I'm here", i heard something within
and then I felt her move inside me.
She feels warm and is lovely
and surely, she's my little star I wished to be. :)
