NEXT & AFTERWARDS

 

Though you're far away 

But your memory make me sway

I opened my eyes and heart to you

And wait for your return each day


A kaleidoscope I have been planning 

For Every minute and every day

Like The ice cream stall on the corner

Brighten everyone's day


Next we’ll travel far a wide to ocean

Where the sunset kisses at the bay

Holding each other's hands 

There's so much speak, so much to say


Afterwards when let the night falls in

then let's sleep under the starry sky

Looking and promising each other

The sky being the witness of You and I


With the morning to embrace us

& it will gleam your face

Let's travel closer to the heavenly blankets 

With erasable trace yet with slow pace


Next and afterwards spending a day

We’ll return to little safe havens 

Sharing more memories and dreams

Under your arms, my sweetest heaven

And when time dares to drift apart
I’ll hold your soul, you’ll hold my heart
For love’s not bound by place or day
It grows in whispers along the way

So next we’ll dream, and afterwards stay,
Building forever in gentle array.
