Your Feelings, Now Mine

I hope someday you'll understand
that children are what their parents are
No, don't get insulted
You just haven't realized yet
I can't blame you and I'm not supposed to
We're only human

Even my friend said,
"She's nice...,
but the way she talks to you is just 'simple'."
I don't say that there's no love between us
It's just that we're not used to the affection
We don't show it explicitly
Even sometimes we have a doubt in our hearts,
"Don't you love me?"
while we know deep within our hearts
our bond will not be torn

In times you're not calling me
for a month
I cried, asking why
but then I get used to it
and I think
maybe you trust me so much
that you don't worry about me

You keep asking why
they acted this way
Why don't they act like others who hug their brothers
The reality is
this is our family
this is how we act
this is how we feel
this is the culture you somehow created
Even your mother said so

Do you want it to change?
I can see the way you've changed a bit
but changing people is not an easy thing, isn't it?
Take time, deep breath, wise thought
maybe we don't need to change anyway.
