Let me meet myself in the mirror of truth!
Are you there my soul, my companion?
What should I call you?
A friend, heart or the heartbeat?
I know you are with me today, I don’t know of tomorrow
But I know, time doesn’t repeat itself!

I’m something different!
I like to see the glimpse of everyone’s smile,
Which shines more than the sun!
Are you listening to me, O friend?

I want to write our history again in my book!
Can we go back in time?
So that I can recreate those days, which were meant for us!
Time is coming, when we will not be together, but our destiny is!
Why do I like them?
Why be friends?
Why don’t I forget them?

I can’t forget them, because I’ve promised that
I won’t leave their hand till I’m there in this world!
Ask your friends to hold your hand too tightly!
So that when you fly in the sky, the air also can’t break you!
Make your first step, which is hard, other steps will be easy
Same as your friendship!
