Read Time:44 Second
It hurts to search for love
and never find its face.
It hurts to weep in the dark
holding the clothes of tears.
It hurts to be in love
and your hands can’t reach the sky.
It hurts to hear the beats
and forget the tones.
It hurts to search for love
and find faces of cruelty.
It hurts to be alone
chewing the leaves of pains.
I am going searching for love
with the lamp of red.
I am going searching for love
to battle under dark clouds.
I will stand tall on this mountain
and clothe the blue sky.
I will look into the stars
and wait until I overcome.
Love, where are you?
My heart is opened wide
to receive you in my soul.
I am here for you.
