you run run run and keep running
here i am, only waiting
i wanna run to you
but you don't give me a cue
you're running around and around
only see me when one circle's down
no, can you see me?
or you just pass me by, like a pea

note:
'like a pea' here is referred to 'The Princess and The Pea' by H.C Andersen. “me” is a pea, actually can be sensed by “you” but “you” decides to ignore “me” and keeps running
she remembers
the excitement from thinking about being 24
planned what she wanted to do,
what she really wished to have,
with whom she would tie the knot,
what kind of life she would have,
couldn't wait for 24 to come quickly
nowㅡ ha....
it's so hard to dream again
little did she know, everything has been snatched away
while she was catching up the phase
while she was running to uncertain finish line
while she got bleed from falling after falling
she's finally arrived
“welcome to 24!”, they said
she barely breathes
24 that she dreamed of is different
but is there any other choice? no
being adult
hits everyone
24 is just number like the others
let's just dive into the good mess
and cheers for another years
for life, for happiness
on the rainy day
i see you standing alone outside the fence
my hand moves to chest unconsciously
feeling the burn from inside
how two people who shared different worlds
and became one because of love,
now standing apart from each other
drawing invisible line
which gets thicker and thicker as the clock ticks
oh you, who's loved by the sun
must be sorrowful your days are
since i hushed away the rays
from you, above us
and get drenched alone
on the rainy day
when the silence speaks louder
when everything feels like enemy
got inner chaos that built up the wall
when people's eyes more judging than the judge
when their mouths keep asking,
sounds trivial but suffocating
when the path i step on is full of thorns
when waking up only becomes formal
i no longer can recognize myself
on the mirror
my voice
my own mind
