Life - YUI

Covered in blankets, in our cozy home
We couldn't laugh the same way, you stayed in your room alone
Every thunderstorm, every knock at the door
"Are you okay, my dear Fiona?"
I'm still trying to keep you safe

Instead of dwelling on what we can't change
I want to see you smile through every new day
Your fears are something I understand

If we step out into the sunlight
And try holding hands so tight
I wonder if we can face the world
That's what I believe

Wings to lift your spirit high
I still can't see them yet
Because it's not easy
But together, we'll be fine

Just seeing you laugh at a silly joke
Brings warmth to my heart
Even if it brings tears to my eyes

I always said I wanted to protect, wanted to care
But just wanting it isn't enough, we have to try

From the moment I met you, you became my world
Now I want to cherish every moment unfurled
I want to change our present, make it bright

Stepping out into the sunlight
Holding your hand with all my might
Leaving behind the shadows of fear
I can change our lives

But I can't fully express
All the love in my heart for you
Because it's not easy
But we can keep on going

Stepping out into the sunlight
We can make our own path, too
I know, you know
Even if we get lost, it's okay
I can change our lives

All the days we've shared
Make up who we are now
Because it's not easy
But we can keep on living

My dear Fiona, together we'll shine
Through every storm and fear
Because it's not easy
But we'll make it, year by year

In the quiet of our home, I humbly kneel and pray,

For the floods of grief that drown me, for regrets that pull me under,
In your presence, dear sister, I find solace and wonder 🌊.
