I put on my raspberry lip gloss
And choker beads around my neck
That day was springy and zestful
Looking forward to enjoy the fresh air breeze
throughout the city
Smelling those aroma of lavender and sandalwood
on my way
Busy streets, bright people you meet
Crystalline and bright colors on their faces
I chew over every minute amidst city spots
Together with loving souls with me
To let ourselves relish with incredible samples
of Mediterranean and Japanese meals
I will savor every taste of my favorite
Coffee jellies while hearing the grinding beans
Reading the happy eyes of my friend is even more
Than what it means
I took my pen and my paper
Preparing to hear something from within
I have learned to cherish every minute and
Every dime I have put in
Life is indeed very good but very short
I must remember to whisper my joy
Every night in the ears of my loving souls
