Analysis of Stars and Skies
If I was to be buried under the stars and the skies
I would really want to take your hand for a while.
I know it would be somewhere near impossible
But I would surely want to see the glimmer of your eyes.
I know the soft voice of yours; will make me feel better, and the charming smile will console me,
so stay, even if it is for a while.
I know the heavens lie in wait for you,
but I want you to remain right here by my view.
I don't fear death, but I fear the sadness that will shelter you.
I fear that someone far, far away will be out there looking for me.
Everything has an end and our journey ends here.
I lingered around a lot, but now it's time for me to let go.
I wish the stars and the skies a goodbye.
I wonder how the world looks on the other side.
