A Million Heartbreaks

A million heartbreaks and I'm still ready to love

The promise of first kiss

The palpating heartbeat

The 'accidental' brush against each other

Who can take that away from me?

A thousand teardrops and I'm still ready for love

The shy but eager smile

The nervous but excited laughter

The tremble as we exchange our numbers

Who can take that away for me?

A hundred sleepless nights and I still want to love

The first whisper of intimacy

The gentle caress and gentler touch

The sweet promise of forever

Who can take that away from me?

A dozen of whys and denials and I still brace for love

The blooming feeling inside

The glittery world so pretty and bright

The 'perfect moment' that seemed to last a lifetime

Who can take that away from me?

Tonight I walk down the City of Angels

Pain in my heart, tears on my face

Void deep inside, fear gripped me hard

The feeling of loss, the devastating defeat

Who can please take that away from me?

The woman next to me answered, "I can."

Exotic brown skin and transfixing smile

Mismatch shirt and cool thick coat

A being out of place, out of love

Can she really take that away from me?

My image in the store window can promise none

Except those that has been set in stone

That the sun will rise, the night will come

That joy and pain works together

That love will always comes around

Let me cry again tonight over my shattered heart

And the next night and the next 

And all the nights until I am ready again

To love, to live, to be myself once more

To say goodbye and close the chapter

 

But not to forget, no no

No love should be forgotten or despised

Each scar is a part of our soul

Each teardrop is a part of our journey

Each love is a part of our life

A million heartbreaks come and go

And I am still here for love

Still believe in it, still in love with it

Still wanting it, still trusting it

Albeit a million other heartbreaks that'll follow

Rain can't last forever

Snow will melt into spring

Light will chase away darkness

Warmth calms us down

And love will always comes around

A million heartbreaks

A thousand teardrops

A hundred sleepless night

A dozen of whys and denials

Yet love is still the most beautiful thing

I am ready to love

I am ready for love

I desire love

I brace the risk of love

And one day, I will love and be loved

Till then I will walk

Till then I will hope

Till then I will pray

Till then I will wait

Till Love found me, and I found him
