I sat on this pavement
watching the people before me
as they bond with their family
how i wish i had one too

I watch as lovers pass by
holding hands, exchanging kisses
and i wonder how long are they together
and how they've come this far

I smiled as children play
holding their ice cream, carefree
their faces are full of joy
and i hoped that smile won't ever leave their face

everyday i sit on this pavement
wondering what's my purpose here
why am i breathing when all i do
is wish everything they have that i don't
