Birds and insects were interspersed amongst the woven branches; long red hair flowed in waves around her sleeping face, which was glorious in repose.

“It's here 4 am
Yet not I slept
Thinking something serious
Even I didn't understand
Asusual I went into my window
To feel a cool air
And oh there upon sky
Was my hero who was brightening in the sky
It's the only moon for whom I am insane
Because your face matches
With my dream boy
Oh boy I know you can hear me
As I can feel your soul by my side
It's not a coincidence it's just amazing miraculous that I can define
Oh baby I love you
Come and give me smile
Your dream is not my illustration
Because it never felt like an imagination
It was real
It is real
I have always sensed your sensation
Come on baby
I know your only my hunny
Stop playing this hide and seek
And just give me your cutie kiss
Your time is over to be lonely
Come on hold my hand
And sort out this mystery
Hold my hand tightly
That we both will create history ”
