Edira

It happened once more —
My eyes became sore
But, my eyes aren’t sore anymore
They’re better than before…

They deem to remember
My low self-esteem, but that was last December…
I’m better than before
My eyes, they no longer soar
Above my head anymore
You’re the one that I adore
I have love in store…in store…

I absolutely adore the fact
That you’ve moved on; I lacked
Every single hope in mind
Now, I am doubtless, not left behind
Now, I am doubtless — no longer blind
I don’t mind as long as my eyes
Don’t flutter above…above…above…
I don’t mind as long as my eyes
Don’t flutter and rove…rove…rove…
Now, I am doubtless as ever, my love

It happened once more —
My eyes became yours
Once upon a time, change was a challenging chore
To its inner cores…cores…
But not anymore…my eyes, 
They never seem to ignore you
They seem to soar, no lies
They seem to grow sore out of the blue

They deem to remember
My low self-esteem, but that was last December…
I’m better than before
My eyes, they no longer soar
Above my head anymore
You’re the one that I adore
I have love in store…in store…

I absolutely adore the fact
That you’ve moved on; I lacked
Every single hope in mind
Now, I am doubtless, not left behind
Now, I am doubtless — no longer blind
I don’t mind as long as my eyes
Don’t flutter above…above…above…
I don’t mind as long as my eyes
Don’t flutter and rove…rove…rove…
Now, I am doubtless as ever, my love

Don’t worry…my fluttering eyes
Are doing better than ever
Don’t worry…my truths and lies
Is happiness and joy forever
I don’t want to have my eyes go above
Anymore…anymore…anymore, my love
So don’t go coming back to me, 
Thoughts I haven’t thought of at all…
I will stand tall…I will get on the ball…
If these fluttering eyes can clearly see
That I can go above it all, 
Even if I do fall down, I won’t at all
I will answer God’s call

That damn eye condition I call edirA
Keeps beating me down in frightful awe…
But I’m far from being a flaw…
According to my whitish aura…
