When I give you my flower
You have the power to crush it
Please don’t rush the process
It’s a symbol of trust I’m giving
The living is my most precious possession
Please be gentle with my confession
Somehow I still expose all my vulnerabilities to you
The things I’ve been through is what I share
It’s up to you to decide whether you care
Because my vulnerabilities are also my strength
To which extent I let myself be affected
Is a reflection of how collected I am
And what’s left if I decide to close my gate?
I’ll start to carry the weight of others
And be bothered by everything about them
That’s why I decide to live life by loving
It’s all that I can give
Even if it returns me nothing
I choose the principles by which I live
