Love
As I looked upon the starry sky, I searched for a star that would match your beauty, but of all the stars, I could not find one.

Even if love is full of thorns, I will still embrace it for I know that in between those thorns, there is a rose that is worth all the pain.
I wrote your name in the sand, but the waves washed it away. I wrote your name on a piece of paper, but it got thrown away. I wrote your name in the sky, but the wind blew it away. So, I wrote your name in my heart and that is where it will stay.
If you stand in front of a mirror with 11 roses, you'll see 12 of the most beautiful things in the world.
