❝ ❞    I was eighteen and he's twenty     When we both found ourselves happy     Together with no boundaries     Like all the things were free.     I was nineteen and he debuted.     He had a party and he's so happy.     We shared laughs     And that gave me guts.     I was twenty and he courted me     For the reason that he loves me     Of what I am and who I am.     We both wanted to hold each other's arms.     I was twenty two     And he stopped courting me     'Cause I already gave him     The ‘ Yes ’ that he deserves.     A years passed     We're still happy.     He brought me child     And treated him as ours.     I was twenty four     And he proved me more.     With our own family     Living peacefully.     I was twenty five     And a lady came     Shouting “ Where's my child? ”     That made my child cried.     “ You can't be a mother, b*tch! ”     She shouted and made me realized     “ Am I worth to be your mother, my child? ”     Or it's meant for me to live with these lies.          The truth that a gay like I     Can't give a lil life     Like a child I raised with all my might.     Is this what a gay's life?     Now, I'm thirty     Living alone and feel pity.     The guy I love left me     With those words and it kills me.     The child we raised     Is the the result of what he did.     The woman who came before     And the man I love the most     Is the parents of the child I love. No one can hide the truth. Yet truth ***** Not all but most.
