Alone I was
Then thoughts kept running
Running in my mind
The first one was strong
Strong as our bond was
Between us two
It was our bond
Bond with you my health
We used to be happy
Happy as a mother to her grown kids
We used to laugh
Laugh our lungs out
Till you betrayed me
And made me be called ill
I’ll just because you deteriorated yourself
And unhealthy i became
Now look at your friend
Whom you used to be happy with
Just in tears you left me
Just in tears you are making my daughters cry
Just in tears am left alone
Alone to cry for your come back
Why did you betray me
Why did you do this to me
If truly you were the best i got
Come and eradicate it from me
Come back quickly
That us two may be together again
And share the laughter
The former laughter we had
Yes
If you can please do so
Try so hard to do it
Try so hard to say it
Try so hard before he go
Try so hard before he loose hope
Try it health
For we were friends
And we can be again
