BORAHAE



BORAHAE
Darkness was all around me
The skies if not blue, they were gray
Everything was painted black
Colors seemed to leave and won't come back

But then I saw somewhere shining bright
A blinding, beautiful purple light

I saw you there, you were standing
In the middle of that vast purple ocean
I purple you, you said, smiling
I will trust and love you for a long time

I purple you, always and forever
I purple you, won't leave you ever
I'll stay with you 'til the end of time
I will love you 'til my breath runs dry

Right there and then, my world lights up
You bring colors back to my life
Now I can see very clearly
Everywhere I look, there is beauty

You promised, you will always be there
You said, we're the brightest stars in your universe You are the reason of my purple light
Because of you, I glow, even in the darkest night

A rainbow reminds me of you
And when I see purple, I see you
I love you, saranghae
I purple you, BORAHAE
