My heart
My heart cannot be explained by anything else
My you
Are my heart itself

Like light and the eye
Scars and what has been
Inseparable, bound together
Move with the rhythm of my beating heart
You, the only you

Your smile feels as though you understand that everyone has once known despair
Forgive my wounds
With your gaze
Gather the faintest light hidden inside the dark
And deep within me, in slow motion
Keep replaying you

—— “Undying” Desiree Zhang (Zhang Xuan)
