Life Is Giving
When I remembered her,
I forgot all I want to say,
I wanted to tell everything inside,
I wanted to tell what I pray,
Never caring what they might say,
I asked for her the time I felt pain,
I needed her the time she was away,
I wanted her the time she gave away,
I couldn't bear being so far away,
But now, after all that sorrow,
I think it's better to stay away.
Believe me, one day, somehow,
She might need someone cares,
Then she shall beg for me to stay,
And then I'll tell her,
Life is giving, not giving away,
But me, I'll stay.
