Ayumi Hamasaki

When i saw her the first time, especially her eyes i could not believe that they´re real.
Than i saw the portrait of her done by an fantastic artist here on and now i draw her myself.
I was hypnotized by this awesome eyes and i hope that i captured her beauty a little bit.

EDIT:
Thanks a lot for your critical and also helpful comments - i overworked her anterior teeth and they looking much better now!I hope that you can see it in this new photo.

HOPE OR PAIN by Ayumi Hamasaki

What am I expecting?
Every time the phone receiver
I'm grasping trembles
My heart leaps
But soon I'm let down with a sigh
How many times will I continue to do this?

How long am I going to believe the words, "some other day"
When it will never come?

It's better to forget
Thinking that I just dreamed for a little while
Though I know very well
A miracle will never happen
Though I know very well

I'm sorry I told you abruptly that day
That everything became suddenly unclear

The last time that I saw your tears
Is still clinging to my memory

Why couldn't I believe in you .
Right in front of me?
You see? It must have been good enough
Only to love what I was loving
Almost clumsily

I wonder if I could leave
Something for you

When time passes by
What will be left for me?
My heart going on wishing for a miracle?
Or just

A scar?
