HANDS
Hand language
Hands ….
Sometimes save the true, when you put something secret in back of your hand…
Its gonna be top secret when you close your mouth with ur hand..
And will be a good job when you do something with team work…
It say’s im nerveous when you put your hand down together ...
Gengamanku…
Biarkan aku menggenggam apa yg ingin aku raih…
Apa yang kugenggam tak harus sama dengan apa yang kaukenggam…
Tapi tak ada salahnya kita genggam masing2 impian kita demi sesuatu kebaikan…
