People who fight
their battles alone
either lose the battle
or lose themselves.

How long has it been now?
Since I last felt your heat
Your warm touch
Your soft lips against the rough skin of mine


How long
Until this pain goes away
This pain that radiates from the very depths of my soul
This pain that can only be healed by your presence

How long
Can I take this pain
How long
Will this last
How long
Until I see you again

You
You were the first girl that made me feel that nervous ache in my chest
Wanting you so badly, but too shy to ask

The most beautiful girl
Outside, but perhaps not in
How captivating you were
Taking no time to catch my eye

And to my amazement
You fell for me
Or at least I thought

Perhaps it was love that blinded me
Or maybe even a bit of lust
But to me, you were my everything

How selfish can you be
To create my world
To only destroy it in the end

And now, at the end
I find myself wishing I had never known you
Ironic, isn't it, my dear

But still
I find myself lying there at night
Dreaming about you
It seems impossible to wake up from this desperate attempt to sleep
