Nonetheless

Breath of forever in the air we breathe

As I collapse my hand into yours

Hand-in-hand

Eye to eye we meet

but change our vision when you said

those words

It's okay

I love you nonetheless

You've captured my heart

All the fights and empty words

They don't mean a thing

It's just our lips moving,

our heart hasn't said anything

Hold onto my hand

Even when you hate me,

I will never let go.
