Upon that Star, I Pray

Upon that star of distant sky, I tell the stories of our lives.

Witness to some tears or more, some ‘laughs’ and ‘smiles’ and many more

Four years of coming and keeping together made us see

The sweets and bitters of life at bay

I wish upon that star, we part not now, no … not today.

         “Oh, hear me …” I always pray

With every day that passes by, the more we hate the word “goodbye”

Our days together don’t get any longer; our really frantic thoughts go deeper

Our ‘asaran’ and ‘tampuhan’ will never leave each thought

Wherever life may bring us now, as always will be

I wish upon that star, we part not now, no … not today.

           “Please, grant my pray’rs” I always say

 We came together like what does a dove; we were secured together by love

Time may fail to apprehend our bond, we never fail to return to what we fond

At times, we offend some, at times, we neglect wisdom

But life is life in that sense, for that’s its nature … not always gay

And that I wish upon that star, we part not now, no… not today.

          “Oh. Hear me …” I always pray.

But comes a whisper to me ear, a thought, a thought so dire to hear

Yet it insists and it persists still, left me no choice, it just prevail

I know what it says, and it’s the soon ‘goodbye’

It deafens me, it weakens our souls… it cannot lie

And that I wish upon that start, give us the strength to face “GOODBYE”

            “Oh. Hear me …” tonight I cry

Yet fate declares a forlorn change, a truth to face though sadness reigns

Though against our will indeed, we soon be parted to grow they said

We’ve got to go, we’ve got to let go

Of the strong chain of togetherness, that’ll just hinder our maturity

And that I wish upon that star, we soar up high forever more, not just this day.

            “Oh, hear me my star…” to you I PRAY.
