on second thought


whatever you do, wherever you are

let’s make a wish upon a star

when all this is over and long gone by

when silence is here and none dare to fly

when dreams are rare and hard to find

when emptiness will spread inside my mind

let’s wish and wish all this will pass

just like the morning dew fresh on the grass

so now dear, look deeply into my eyes ~

whatever you do, whoever you are

let’s wish, let’s wish upon that star

together, we will hold each other tight

just as we did the very first night~
