If the morning still comes, one after one
It’s because I need another day,
To find the words,
To write them down,
To find the way,
To let you know,
That I love you and I will always do.
If the wind still blows, from place to place
It’s because I need them to transport my message,
From me to you, far away
To let you know,
That I am right here,
Waiting for you,
No matter how long it will take, I will wait.
If the rain is still falling down, drop after drop
It’s because I like to sit here,
Near my window,
Spending my time,
Watching the rain,
And at the same time,
I could think about you,
The rain is beautiful, exactly as how you look like.
If the birds are still singing, louder and louder
It’s because I ask them to sing a song,
The song that I wrote especially for you,
And when you hear it,
You would know,
You would feel,
How long I have waited for you
How much I love you, how much I care about you.
If you still hear the sermons, from pagoda to pagoda
It’s because I am praying for you,
I am praying to meet you one day,
I will bring you to Van Restaurant,
I will bring you to Chinese Restaurant,
I will bring you to Pizza Company,
I will bring you to KFC,
Anywhere you like, I will invite you a dinner.
If the empty Cyclo is still there, down the Sisowath Quey
It’s because I ask the driver to wait,
I know soon or later you will arrive,
You and I, we will make a ride,
Around the City,
To the Riverbank,
To Wat Phnom,
To Phsa Thmey,
And you will see how happy I am, to have you near.
Everything is possible my dear, even you are near or far
Why can’t I just love you?
Why can’t I just think about you?
Why can’t I just miss you?
And if even you don’t exist,
Why can’t I just create you?
End.

hello KB.. i went to Van Restaurant yesterday to join my friend’s birthday party.. I arrived a bit earlier than others.. someone bring a Menu for me to choose what i wanted to eat.. i thought about an easy food but in fact it was not easy to find in that Menu.. i looked lelf and right in the Menu book ( lelf side is the food’s name/title and right side is the price).. i finally found it.. it was a Steak with salad (they said Aussie’s steak).. it cost 19us$ and a bottle of coke, 2.5us$.. the sauce was ok but when i asked for chili they said NO HAVE HERE!.. Van Restau. is a nice place.. 60’s French-colinial-building.. it’s a 5star Retau..
It’s beautiful, have you created the picture of her yet?
Ummmmmmm…… KB you really need a partner now…..lolz
sorry just correct KFC, i never been there myself LOL
BOL, i visited Van restaurant last Monday with Kem and his wife, but just to have a drink there. the owner and the house got a long history. i will write about the restaurant more in LAK, but i can imagine about the menu there
Kane, thank for the comments, i am glad u like it.
i hope she know how much i love her LOL
Beautifully written! The accompanying music sounds great too!
If she really exists, hope she’ll know how much you love her soon!
Which girl would not be moved by such a romantic and full-of-feeling song specially written for her? 
Good luck to you ^_^
Hi, How are you Khmer Bird?
Your website so good now…
I will come back to visit and listening to the sweet song.
Hope you have more sweet songs.
Cheer,
Chhaya
Very beautiful song!
But when i listen to the music I didn’t read the message above (Written with accompany…) and i doubt why there is only music!!?? LOL ^-^
thank Pheaktra and Chhaya, of course you will find more soon,
thank Monida, “very beautiful song !” you mean the text or the music?
I mean the parol. I thought it is a song not a music
oh it is not a parole, not even a poem but it’s just a text. the music was inspiring me to find the way.
i listened to this music while i wrote the text and i think it could become an accompanying music for my text, that’s why i put the music here
why don’t you record your voice like you did before? too shy? lol
maybe i am old now
i cannot do that anymore LOL
the older the better .. more experience.. deeper feeling lol
thank you secret admirer, i will try my best then next time
very nice. the girl must be pleased once she have read this song/poem/text. may I ask if I could also meet her?
thank soursdey,
i am not sure if she feel something about it. anyway …
she just said it’s a nice poem
Very nice poetry,went to van restauarnt last week.Schooit,big price very small food.
such a sweet poem kb! hope you can find that someone special very soon. and if she’s exist don’t let this chance blow off your hand. good luck to you ….
thank i hope time will come soon
It’s passionately impressive sentimental expression,
kinda well expressed right towards direct path,
it’s in poetic manner as a good production of skillful poet ^_^… lolz
KB formulates a concentrated imaginative
awareness of experience in writing chosen and arranged to create a specific emotional response through its meaning, sound, and rhythm. It would be good to be true for someone just like her to be loved as I could find more meaningful existence and to give a sense of heightened where the quality that stirs the imagination of million reasons even I’m not the right one purposely supposed to get thy poem but for her too precious to let go… Undeniably tell and needless to say she must be a pretty cool chosen one of KB or else maybe she could be his expected destiny… I have nothing of course to leave behind but to be happy eventhough not for me but for you KB
wow, impressive but a bit turning my head by reading our comment, there are words i don’t really know the meaning of but thank for comment nothing toxic. i hope there’s nothing toxic … but maybe it has something toxic but at least try to be happy.
Thanks KB. Like I often said my English is poor
just in case you didn’t get through… my previous comment were all meant to be in positive good ways.
I learnt little French, but to get NOTHING (English compilation ) combined with TOXIC (French meaning ) make the difference of how nothing_toxic meant to be… lolz don’t get me wrong caused of mix bilingual languages :p
Enjoy the rest of your day KB!!
i hope your next comment would be easier to understand like this one. cause it create too much diversity …;-)
KB, accept my sincere apology then…
For further comments, will be ceasing to create more
diversities and will learn to type words following
your ways
So sweet! Hope you can use it with a gal who is really willing to listen to it.
someone said she prefer the restaurant down the street
impressive with her comments LOL
