You’ve been working so hard To provide more than what we need now For what we will need in the future. Because we used to have nothing. You’ve been planning so thoughtfully For the next 20 years, But you’ve never lived in the current. You’ve been ignoring what you feel now And saving your happiness for later. But you’ve never stopped worrying about the future. Now he is gone forever for both of us. You lost your happiness, Which had never happened. But I lost my happiness, Which had been making me feel alive. It is not just grief of his death. Now father is gone forever for me. It is the emptiness in my heart Constantly consuming me. When I am nervous on the stage, Who else will always applaud for me again? Who else will always love my performance again? I know you don’t care what I care, And you only approve what you care. But can you just look at who I am for one time? I wish you can live more in the current And worry less about the future. Because I treasure every single second in my life, When you are still with me.

Mother, It Is Not Just Grief
You’ve been working so hard To provide more than what we need now For what we will need in the future. Because we used to have nothing. You’ve been planning so thoughtfully For the next 20 years, But you’ve never lived in the current. You’ve been ignoring what you feel now And saving your happiness for later. But you’ve never stopped worrying about the future. Now he is gone forever for both of us. You lost your happiness, Which had never happened. But I lost my happiness, Which had been making me feel alive. It is not just grief of his death. Now father is gone forever for me. It is the emptiness in my heart Constantly consuming me. When I am nervous on the stage, Who else will always applaud for me again? Who else will always love my performance again? I know you don’t care what I care, And you only approve what you care. But can you just look at who I am for one time? I wish you can live more in the current And worry less about the future. Because I treasure every single second in my life, When you are still with me.
