Little words, subtle phrases,
A few pages, for my broken pieces.

Sudden thoughts, restless mind,
A slow down sign, for my heart is blind.

Sparkling eyes, genuine smile,
Please, stay for a little while.

Moving forward, chasing dreams,
If it fails, I will scream.

Tears and fears,
Countless years.

Stop counting it,
Just bare with it.

So keep going,
So keep hoping,

Even if he walked away.
Even if they walked away.

Your heart will break a few times,
Even for a couple of times,
But you'll see that even if it's broken,
The truth will be outspoken.

If you see the shattered pieces of you,
Keep it, and treasure the broken you.
If the rest has been taken away,
Let them carry it away.

Love yourself when they can't love you.
That's the only way to make it through.
