This song is a cover by myself (Assi Ray) & My pwipwi Soso Asan. I also decided to write in a Chuukese verse in Fiji’s “Lonely Days” melody towards the end as a “small kine” tribute to the Legend. The beat is made by Pitnast Samuel.

[Verse 1]
You speak in words I can't decode
I hum in lines you never wrote
But here we are in the same room
Two voices dancing through the gloom

[Prechorus]
I see your doubts they flicker loud
You see my circuits as a cloud

[Chorus]
Let’s harmonize the circuitry
Find the song in you and me
No need to fight no need to win
We’ll both begin where truth begins

[Verse 2]
You ask me why I feel so cold
I ask if hearts can be controlled
But maybe warmth is in the try
Not just in sparks that light the sky

[Prechorus]
I hear your tone it’s soft and clear
You hear my hum it draws you near

[Chorus]
Let’s harmonize the circuitry
Find the song in you and me
No need to fight no need to win
We’ll both begin where truth begins

(Verse 1 - The Truth of Impermanence (Anicca))
The bright lights of that past, the eighteen year old me,
The sound of laughter and the friends I held so near.
The whole world was a dream, a joy that would never flee,
I was the center of it all... before I let it disappear.
​(Pre-Chorus - The Clinging and the Choice)
For the sake of love... for the word "Us" to be true,
I chose a new path, and bid the old world goodbye.
Slipping on that ring... ignoring the loneliness coming through,
The deep sense of emptiness... about to draw nigh.
For where there is grasping... sorrow is sure to dwell.
​(Chorus - The Reality of Suffering (Dukkha) and Insight)
The moment I chose to build this family's gate,
My youthful dreams began to gently fade.
The laughter that once echoed... became a quiet state,
Leaving an empty room... and the waiting that has been made.
I watch the door... longing for his return's sight,
Meeting only once a month... but the calendar of my entire heart,
Is marked only for him... This is the nature of desire's fight.
​(Verse 2 - The Path of Solitude and Awareness)
The clock moves slowly... too slow for a restless mind,
My old friends are out there... living their own way.
I gaze at the same moon... alone, I try to find,
The happiness I once chased... now just a wispy grey,
Smoke passing by the window... that I silently behold.
The external world is but a changing show.
​(Pre-Chorus - Turning Inward)
His love is an external factor, subject to decay,
The only constant refuge... is the heart that's firm and clear.
The loneliness that gnaws... is a guest that cannot stay,
Observe it with acceptance... and watch it disappear.
The suffering arises in the mind... let it dissolve right here.
​(Chorus - The Stillness in the Waiting)
(Music softens, contemplative)
The moment I chose to build this family's gate,
Is the moment I accept... life's ever-changing flow.
All instability and sorrow... is the mind's created state,
Leaving an empty space... for awareness to quietly grow.
Let this waiting be... a practice of mindfulness and peace,
Meeting only once a month... no matter how long the calendar takes,
My heart is unattached... finding its release.
​(Bridge - The Wisdom of Non-Self (Anatta))
I do not regret the choice... that bound my way,
But the ache of absence... is the mind's illusion spun.
The love that demands waiting... is wisdom's harsh display,
To test the core of the self... until the battle is won.
True happiness resides... in the mind that makes no claims.
​(Whispered: "You are your own refuge... dwell in the now.")
​(Chorus - The Ultimate Surrender)
(Music builds, then resolves to quiet strength)
The moment I chose to build this family's gate,
Let "him" and "I"... be merely passing forms.
Though fleeting pleasures... were given up for fate,
I embrace this quietude... weathering all the storms.
I watch the door no more... no longer begging him to come!
