Love and Pain

Lover's Wish

Lover’s Wish

I didn’t ask for it but it was given.
We met in an unexpected incident
and I wish I had never met you
because I was hurt completely by you.
I thought you were the one but it seems not yet.

You left me alone and in tears
but I can’t forget you.
I want to avoid you but fate is playful.
Destiny always brings us together
especially in my time of need.

I always ask if you’re the one I’m looking for?
Are you the one who will complete my life
that will give me so much happiness
and truly love a lady like me?
It would be a wonderful blessing if you are.

You courted me and we became lovers again.
You promised that you won’t hurt me like before.
I believed that you would never hurt me again
but where are you now, Darling?
I miss your presence so much.

My mind is confused, do you really love me?
Darling, can you tell me the truth?
You said yes so I will believe it.
Yes you are far from me now
but I can still feel your love.

I feel sad that we don’t talk often
but I will endure this feeling.
I’m so eager to see and be with you, Darling.
I always remember you ‘cause I can’t get you out of my mind.
I’m just always hoping you’re as fine as you say you are.

I want to kiss your lips again and taste the sweetness of your kiss,
I also want to feel your tight hug and the warmth it brings.
I want to hear the sound of your voice again,
it is music to the ears that heals my sorrow.
But how, Darling, if you’re now gone forever?

I don’t know what to do, still continue and fight?
This life of mine is now meaningless, how can I still fight?
The reason for my resistance gave up on his life
and he left me very confused about what happened.
You give up on life— Why did you end your life, Darling?

How am I now that you’re one of the stars in the sky?
Am I really going to stay here or will I just follow you?
My tears are falling on the ground full of flowers,
my heart is so broken and continues to grieve.
My love, wake up ‘cause I need you in my life.
