Hope

I heard you were fine  

Because you wrote  

Saying that you were 

I hoped it was true 

I know friends 

We hope we touch luck

Really I hope 

We touch while we wish best  

Really I’m glad 

What fun 

Happiness

It’s hard to enter the world of course

Hard to express happiness 

Everything fine  

Really I’m happy in loss 

Fine things happened 

Wild spirits tried to destroy me and my home 

I was the wild one  

Hell turned out great I think  

Well lots of happiness always 

Good

Really I don’t know that we became good qualities

Only yesterday we were the best great

You were really kind of a person 

Once you were a guy I could love 

You were the first boy I had good 

Still mister many really 

Each time got better  

I'd know the future always 

If it wasn’t for you
