Theme: Love


You are my firefly in the darkness of the night.

I am the cricket under the shed of your light.

We fly together, high or low;

Stand for each other as we grow.


My melody is the music when we dance;

Sometimes I wield it to have your charms.

But then you still choose to lose our chance.

When you suddenly leave and start to bounce—


I tried to find your brightness until dawn;

Sunrise has come, but your location is unknown.

Until the darkness began to be shown,

I saw you beside other cricket with tone.


You're no longer a refuge from the scorching light—

But a burned wings from my sight.

The romance we failed to continuously ignite;

fooled by the reasons we believed that right.
