1. How I wish I were a poem hanging in the silence of the night, easing my pain, but I fear the words will be lost before I reach you.
2. How can I hide my tears behind a mask of laughter when I see you in everything, rooted deep in my heart?
3. How I wish I were a rose blooming in your heart to keep the cruelty of the world away from you, and I fear that the rose will wither before the pain subsides
4. Because I know you, I paint you on the walls of my soul like a shining sun in the world to illuminate the darkness of my heart.
5. How I fear that I am a river flowing aimlessly, touching the shore in search of a harbour for my heart.
