Analysis of Destination



Teary eyes flowing down feels like it can fill the oceanwide
To know that you're no longer here by my side  
The thought of growing old with you together just vanished into thin air
Standing alone like at an altar asking myself why life is so unfair  

A little bit of me just died and I wonder if I can someday find my way
Blaming myself if I was the reason for you to leave me that day
Feeling like screaming at the edge of the world to calm the storm inside
Telling myself to put a smile on my face while my body says otherwise

Mind going crazy from the endless thought of you saying I'm sorry
To see you walking toward the exit for I am not ready to say goodbye
Maybe in time, I'll be able to come back to our place once you're gone
But for now, I'm still not ready to move on

Soaked in the rain from the puddles that I've made myself quite a mess
Perhaps the sun will shine upon me and show me a new address
And lead me to someone new waiting to tell me I'm not alone anymore
Telling me I'm the one you've been waiting your whole life for.
