Analysis of Mirage At The Final Sleep
Never be alone when someone loves you
Have you ever cried... yet know not why,
Do you choose a star among so many
A love that's still in you, yet no goodbye.
Memories of true love are never thought of
Silly little things are out of mind,
When we were alone, I held you tightly
The love that we once had, no one can find.
Still I think of you, when I'm not thinking
Strange I know It sounds, some say inane,
All I know a voice, I hear no longer
Sounds so much like you, drive me insane.
Before my final sleep, I'll see a mirage
A distant love who's heart belongs to me,
She shall see that mirage in her heart
When knowing on her star, with me she'll be.
