    Moonlight Sonata

    I look out over the still waters,
    Under the dark blue evening sky
    You're standing there, 
    Underneath the moonlight
    Looking up at the early stars,
    My love


    But as I stand there, I realize
    There's no sound of the crickets,
    The stillness is more empty than I remember,
    And you're slowly drifting away
    Why does it have to be this way?


    The universe had let us cross paths, but then pulled us apart
    It shouldn't have left this big ache in my heart
    "I want you back," a small part of me pleads,
    But now that you're fading, I can't do a thing
    Like we're made for each other, but not meant to be


    There's nothing I can do, can I?
    Time wouldn't stop as the water pulls you away
    But I'm no good for you, am I?
    It's like the whole world is against me,
    As if it doesn't want me to love you anymore
    As if it doesn't want me to see you anymore
    Even as you look up at me with those big brown eyes,
    Even if you've been so good to me all this time


    I just wonder why the universe would let you be such a 
    joy in my life only to suddenly take you away
    Like it's a game to play with my feelings,
    And I cannot have real love that stays


    Fine, if that's how it is,
    I'll just remain here on the side, stifling a frown
    With the full moon staring me down
    Cause I have no control of the tide,
    With no choice but to say a goodbye

  • Chaconne en Français

    Chaconne en Français

    Tu me demandes 
de danser avec toi,
Je dis oui, et tu me 
prends dans tes bras.
Sous le lustre,
Là on danse lentement.
Je n'ai jamais pensé 
que ce serait si sympa


Cela peut-il être vrai ?
Tu me regardes avec amour ?
Je veux sentir ton contact
pour toujours et toujours,
parce que tu me souris
comme le soleil.
Ce doit être un rêve
le plus idéal.


Mais tu m'embrasses,
Tu me choisis,
Tu rêves du même rêve,
et tu me chéris.
Je ne sais pas 
comment te répondre.
T'es un cadeau du ciel
trop beau pour comprendre.

    –Inspired by Yiruma’s Chaconne

    Chaconne

    You come up to me
    And you offer me your hand
    I take it into mine
    And then you lead me there,
    Across the golden ballroom,
    Beneath the chandelier


    And as we start to dance,
    With music in our ears,
    It's my first time in your arms
    I never knew how it'll feel
    Side to side, you hold me close
    With hands that hold me dear


    And your soft warm touch,
    I want to remember it
    Your kind brown eyes,
    I want to fall into it
    As you look lovingly upon my face,
    You spin me around with such grace
    And your smile's like the rising sun,
    But I know not where it's coming from


    How can I become closer to you?
    I want to be known by you
    And as I look upon you, with longing,
    I wonder if it's possible at all
    To share my soul wholly with you


    But you lean your forehead against mine,
    Light and gentle
    You fill me with a warmth,
    I can't believe is real
    Though I do not deserve your love
    Yet you pull me in,
    You wouldn't let go
    Your arms are yearning,
    You want to be known


    And with your hands in mine,
    Though this might be a dream,
    It's one thing I cannot deny
    That you make me feel seen
