It was nice of me in that frame
No shame ever greeted my face
I was the most handsome then
Then, I was great with music
Songs danced were worth danced
Likewise, the proverb was worth acted on
Still, I see the silence in my talk
And the shadow of my laughter
It was so good living there
While it is so difficult living here
Freedom shows a part to lust
So why did the time end so fast?
What a loving moment!
Wow, clapping! clapping!
Rose up my entering and talking
Was a grave yard
That was so relaxing and tempting
As I rose up in the crowd,
Looking ahead of heads on lane
So I discovered the then beautiful
Remained deaf while my words travelled
So much to captivate them all
As much as I sweated out the fun
So much I remembered my position
That frame was great with the past
Not something I got to look at present
My goodbye to you the past
So make it a repetition for my present
And prolong the present
Till I spit my last word
