Everything

You are not the world to me,
you are not the love to me,
you are not the music to me,
neither me to you,

But I don't want seeing you in pain,
I don't want you getting hurt,
I don't want you hating yourself,
neither seeing you down,

I don't want to be this selfish,
And keep you with myself,
I maybe coward for I can't see you imprisoned by pain,
But I am brave enough to let you go 
If am the cause of your pain,

you are not the world to me maybe because you are me,
you are not the love to me, for you define love to me,
You are not the music to me For you are everything,
From the notes,to the melodies,to the verses,and to the rhythm,you are everything.
