you suddenly stood up and said,
“Let's go stargazing tonight!”
“I guess even you get a good idea sometimes,”
everyone said as they laughed.
On the dark road,
we fooled around as we walked
and held onto each other
to avoid being crushed by loneliness and anxiety.
As we gazed up from this pitch-black world,
the stars looked like they were falling from the night sky.
Since when, I wonder,
have I been chasing after you?
Please, please
don’t be startled and just listen
to these feelings of mine.
“That’s Deneb, Altair, and Vega,”
you said as you pointed at the Summer Triangle.
I remember looking at the sky.
I finally found Vega,
but where was Altair?
Isn’t he lonely without Vega?
As you stood next to me enjoying yourself,
I stood there, unable to say anything.
The truth is,
I've always somehow known my feelings for you.
"I found him!"
but those words don't reach you.
"Don't cry, don't do it,"
was all I could I tell myself.
I acted tough, but I was just a coward
pretending I wasn't interested.
And yet,
that only increased the pain stabbing at my heart.
Ah, I see, so this must be what it's like
to fall in love.
My heart tries to tell you
to try asking me what's wrong,
but just being next to you is fine.
The truth hurts.
I didn’t say it,
I couldn’t say it,
and now there's no going back.
That summer day
with all those twinkling stars
I still remember even now.
Your face when you laughed,
your face when you were angry,
I loved how they all looked.
Isn't it funny?
Even though I always understood,
you never knew
because it was my own secret.
I pass the nights
with distant memories of you
pointing out the stars
with your innocent little voice.
Yes, OK, the lyrics might be cheesey, but I don't care. Haha. To me, they're very emotional and touching. It's not just the lyrics, either. I feel that the music and, even the way she sings the song, really convays the feeling of young love and learning to let go. Especially when she sings:
I didn’t say it,
I couldn’t say it,
and now there's no going back.
That summer day
with all those twinkling stars
I still remember even now.
Your face when you laughed,
your face when you were angry,
I loved how they all looked.
Isn't it funny?
I would be lying, though, if I said this was the only reason why I love this song so much. No, it's not only because of the wonderful music and lyrics, but because (now here is where it gets lame!) I was in this situation before. Really. And when I first heard this song and I listened to the lyrics, it felt really great to have a song that described my situation. I mean, don't you love it whenever you find a song you can relate to? I know I do! Haha. I also love how the song ends on a positive note. Because, I mean, love is positive, isn't it? Even if it was never voiced, explored or sucessful.
I apologize for my absence. You know how it goes: School and life.
And trust me. Life has been taking me for a ride lately... Haha. Maybe I'll tell you all about it if you don't mind another boy post [; Lots of love!
XOXO, Dani
