He gave me hope.
He made me believe.
That there’s still us.
That we just need time.
But,
there is
no more us.
I held on to his words.
I held on to this promises.
I held on for so long.
But,
he has
already moved on.
He found someone new.
I’ll give you a clue:
There’s no more we.
Because it’s not me.
I dreamt about you and me
We were sitting under a tree
Silence filled our ears
As I held back the tears
Will you stay with me?
So we can be happy?
But you stood and walked away
Saying you don’t want to stay.
I’m not sure
If all the time here on earth
Is enough to spend with you
I’m not sure if the world
Will be enough to travel with you
I’m not sure if my hands
Are wide enough to offer you the biggest hug
I’m not sure if my body
Is warm enough to comfort you
I’m not sure if my lips
Are sweet enough to give you the sweetest kiss
I’m not sure if my heart
Is big enough to give you all the love you need
I’m not sure if my words
Are enough to tell you how much I love you
But one thing is sure
My love is enough to make you feel loved
How could you wake up early
When you cried yourself to sleep?
How do you start a conversation
If you’re too shy to talk?
How could you tell someone you like him
When he doesn’t even know you exist?
How do you love someone
Who’s out of your league?
How could you cry more
When you’re already out of tears?
How do you say goodbye to someone
If you don’t know he’s leaving?
How could you make promises
If you’re going to break them anyway?
How could you see me as her
When all I do is to be different?
How could you say you love me
When you don’t even know the real me?
Here I am once again
A fallen angel from heaven
I’ve always been too stiff
That’s why I always fall, like a leaf.
My touch has always been soft
My pride was never been aloft
My life from the start was poignant
I didn’t want to be this stagnant.
Days passed by like pages of a book
While I stay here, alone in my nook
I once lived outside there, free
Happy with my family, my tree.
They used to hold me so tight
Never let me out of their sight
But in a blink of an eye, I was gone
And boom! By the rain, my life’s done.
My mind is soaring
through the wind,
drowning in the waters,
walking down the streets,
searching for my lost memories…
…of you.
If you can’t take my love,
take my words.
Take them all
because like my love,
they are yours.
I am sorry
Seems to be the hardest words,
They say.
But, is it?
Is it true?
‘Cause in my case,
It’s supposed to be
I love you.
