Dedicated to a kind and loving friend (who needs to change)
Do not care for me so much that it becomes painful for you.
Cause i do not want to immerse u in my sorrow.
Be selfish share only my joy.
Be brightened by the radiance of my smile
But do not let my darkness seep into thee.
Now that sorrow has left me
Do recognise the joy
Momentary though it may be
For life never guarantees constancy
Smile with me cry not with me
That indeed shall make me happier
For in the absence of my own joy
I shall look for joy in thee
Do not disappoint me then
Looking forward to your happiness in my sorrow.
