For You

For you, I’d stand against the world,
But for you, I’d embrace my world.

For you, I’d be the most selfless person,
But for you, I’ll be as selfish as no one has ever seen.

For you, I’d endure thorns and flames with no hesitation,
But for you, I’ll protect and save myself to every extent.

For you, I’d write in every book with the last drop of my blood,
But for you, I’d leave and go away to the end.

For you, I’d let myself get destroyed,
But for you, I’ll rise, reborn, be fierce as a phoenix.

For you, I’d do every wrong,
But for you, I wouldn’t dare make one.

For you, I’d cross every limit,
But for you, I’ll be wherever I’m.

For you, I’d surrender all, as long as it’s truly “for you.”
