It takes much time to kill a tree,
To forget the shade once you sat in,
And pull out each leaf.
It takes much time to kill a tree,
To forget the fruits once relished...
And cut each branch
It takes much time to kill a tree
To collect all memories
Untying those ropes from the swing
It takes much time to kill a tree
To ward off the laughter
To forget the tears you once shared with.
It takes much time to kill a tree
To shake off those hiding moments
In the game of hide and seek
It takes much time to kill a tree
To forget that hearts you made
With initials of your crush within.
It takes much time to kill a tree
Upon whose branches rested a nest
Chirping birds in the season green
It takes much time to kill a tree
Under which you dug a pit
And hid those letters of love disease.
It takes much time to kill a tree
Who was your confidant
In whom you felt safe with secrets deep.
It takes much time to kill a tree
Who was your companion once
Who today looks at you with grief.
It takes much time to kill a tree
It should...
For in it you'll kill everything you had...
Moments....unforgettable...
