Water through the hands

Last Father's Day, June 16, is supposed to be a day to celebrate with our dad's. However, it's also the day when Maan's dad passed away. I received a message from Maan that says something like 'Please pray for my dad. I don't think we're ready to lose him'. Later that day, I learned that her dad will be cremated the same week. I wanted to go to back to Philippines to be at my friend's side to support her. Unfortunately, due to employment pass processing, I was not able to go back.

For Maan: A song says 'A moment gone is gone forever...it's like water through the hands.' But friendship, I know that the memories that you and your dad shared together will always remain in your heart. I remember a song that speaks of what you might be feeling right now.

I want you to stay
Never go away from me
Stay forever
But now, now that you're gone
All I can do is pray for you
To be here beside me again

*Why did you have to leave me
When you said that love will conquer all
Why did you have to leave me
When you said that dreaming
Was as good as reality

**And now I must move on
Trying to forget all the memories
Of you near me
But I can't let go of your love
That has taught me to hold on

I want you to stay never go away from me
Stay forever

But now, now that you're gone
All I can do is pray for you
To be here beside me again
(Repeat *)(Repeat **)(Repeat *twice)

Coda:
I want you to stay never go away from me
Stay forever

I want to stay but I have to go my way
