you burned your finger
while you're in a rush
to light up the candle
to save you from darkness

the same way I burned my finger
when I tried to revive the light
in the last candle I have
to save me from nothingness

a matchbox, a candle, and a struggle —
welcome to the burnt fingers club,
were you trying, to find meaning
in the dark too?

if diving deeper into the ocean
is risky, and I am the ocean,
would you take the risk?
If I can either drown you in me
or bring you back to the shore safely,
would you trust me?

I created a world —
enough,
for my loved ones to enjoy
but then —
they started to leave,
then my world became flooded with questions —
was it really enough at some point
or maybe —
someone else's world was far better than mine

I want to be your haven -
come close, never hesitate,
you're safe with me,
I'll keep you warm -
Amid this storm

last night —
we decided to climb a mountain,
we had a good start, but,
the moment we felt like giving up,
we decided to stop —
unpacked our bags,
and when everything felt lighter,
we continued the hike

keep your eyes closed,
take a deep breath -
hold my hands
we will cross this tightrope together
you just need to trust me -
and we will be alright

while having a terrible storm,
I told you —
there will always be a rainbow after

when the storm ended,
you looked up and asked,
"where's the rainbow?"

I looked at you,
continuously searching for the rainbow, and said:
"I am the rainbow."
