There was this boy, I met 3 years ago.
We went to the movies,
Johnny English, I still remember,
that was what we went to see.

Few months later, I received the news,
That I needed to leave.
Australia bound,
was what I was going to be.
I told him,
goodbyes was what I didn't need.
He made his mission to get everyone that I loved to come and see me.

Occasionally, we would get into contact,
Exchange a few hellos.
And a little bit of goodbyes.
He wrote me letters,
Okay, maybe just one.
But I never wondered why.

I watched him fall for a string of girls,
Who left him feeling high.
While I fell in love with someone else,
Whom I should have just bid goodbye.

Now that the time is right,
None of us are tied,
We keep missing each other,
All these countless of missed chances,
Separated by seas,
Up till today,
You're still my biggest what if.

as a daughter
she sacrifices
her first love
to see you smile

as a sister
she sacrifices
her chocolate
so that you
would be happy

as a girlfriend
she sacrifices
her close friend
so that she could
spend time
with you

as a wife
she sacrifices
her freedom
so that she could
help you

as a mother
she sacrifices
her sleep
so that you could
sleep in peace

as a mother-in-law
she sacrifices
her own daughter
so that you live
a happy life

i remember the mornings when you would go out of your way to talk to me even for a short while
i remember the 'what's wrong's falling out of your mouth each time i grew quiet
i remember your curiosity over the words i wrote in my notebooks
i remember you trying to fix the problems i had for me
you were always pushing me to be better

but here we are with my ignorance and your arrogance
gone was the sweet guy i met
gone was the naive girl you met
and with that come the silence that is slowly deafening me

but all of the heartache i feel now
cannot compare with all the happiness you gave me
i'm not okay now, but soon i will be
