I start the chats first,
drop the jokes, break ice,
you scroll, you take time,
I'm talking to the void.

Dear dream, dear my dream, keep hope alive
For most times you wonder if you'll really survive,
You worry all the time if really the future is bright
Why do you worry yet the far end is white

Berry Berry sweet Berry.
I wish to have your taste early
your warm hug in the morning cold
makes me rise so strong and bold
...
Back and forth I climb the mountain
Up and down I go just like a fountain
I sweat in toil
I grind and moil

I thought I was the right one when you were left,
A pillar by your right when you walk by my left,
We had to be on the right so as to turn left,
But I was not right, that's why you left.
