Catch the magic.
Catch the dream.
Catch the heartbeat,
that radiates within
and dance, dance, dance.

He left. I am not
surprised. If I were him I'd
run far away too.

I'd be lying to myself
If I say I never liked you.
I noticed your soulful eyes,
Always staring. I know, me too.
But I kept my mouth shut;
Stored away my feelings.
Simply because I was afraid.
I didn't know how to act.
'Cause for once, someone
Likes me back.
And it terrified me
So much I pushed you away.
Yet you still come back.
What if you never come back?
What if you look like that
But at someone else?
Why am I afraid of losing you
When I didn't do anything to keep you?
And all this time, I still have a
Soft spot for you.
Cause you were that guy
Who liked me unabashedly,
Made me laugh, made me feel shy,
Made me feel scared. And I miss you.
But I'm still unsure of this.
Will you still wait for me?

-m.b
how
And I am left gasping, exhausted.
How can a love so strong felt by one person,
and the other not at all?

How can you give and give and give
and the other would take and take and take;
but runs with it all?

How is it happening everywhere;
the pain and hurt alone,
while the other moves on through it all?

She talked about him as if he hung the stars in the sky.
She looked at him like he was Adonis from the famous Greek myth.
She listens intently to him as if it's a lullaby.
She got goosebumps when they touch, like a soothing drift.
She wanted to know him more but was afraid to pry.
She was thirsty for his love, took everything he gave.
She liked him so much, at nights she would cry.
She wanted the best for him, for as long as he lives.

He talked about her like she's a friend of his sister.
He looked at her like she's a painting he couldn't understand.
He listens to her like she's reciting a speech by a pastor.
He recoils when they touch, her skin gets too damp.
He doesn't really know her because he never bothered.
He gets annoyed when she asks too much, he prefers being alone.
He tries not to be with her too often, she deserves better.
He knows she likes him but he doesn't want her to be heartbroken.

If you're not going to stay
Might as well not start at all
While my heart is still unmarked
While my soul is still whole

Leave now
While I still have a grip on the pieces of me that want to go with you

Leave now
While I'm still capable of knowing that nobody survives a fall

Leave now
Because another second more
Is already too many seconds longer
And I am too vulnerable to fight this
There is no in between
