Time is slowly wearing my body down

the walls are cracking
the windows are shattering
the taps are dripping
the paint is chipping

Time is slowly wearing the house down

the skin is scarred
the heart is bruised
the mind is confused
the soul is weathered

And I'm afraid it is not going to last long
and neither will I.

Today, I walked up the stairs slowly
and I was entirely grateful.

Today, you were walking past me
and you caught my eye.

Today, your eyes landed on mine
and my heart stopped.

Today, you smiled at me
and the world stopped spinning.

Today, I realised I was falling for you
and it would be worth it.

Today, tomorrow
and yesterday I'd be grateful I met you.

'If you break me
at least make it last'
I wrote when I was
in love with you.

Only now am I regretting
the time I spent to
get over you.

It lasted longer
than the aftermath
of a volcano.

It was as painful
as lighting yourself on fire
(the pain of my
breaking heart,
you made it last)

And now it's finally gone
the city is back to normal
the ashes has been blown away
and you, you no longer matter.

Now that I laid eyes on him.

I realised that there will
be bigger volcanoes
bigger fires and they will be
more worth it
than you ever will be.  

And I'm afraid.
I'm afraid that he'd break me
exactly like you did.
Then I realised,
it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.

Better to love and break
than never to love before.

You come and change
and become this
perfect little shy angel
everyone falls in love with

and I wish I could
say it doesn't work
but I think I'm
falling for you too.
sigh.

I believe in magic.
Not the kind of magic
that makes people disappear
or pulls out a bunny from a
non existence hat.
I believe in the
kind of magic that
sweeps you off your feet,
the kind that makes
spark appear when fingers interlock,
the kind of magic that
makes your heart beat
so fast
when you don't want it
to beat
at all.
Always you.

I guess you must have really made me feel something for me to write like this. It's not usual for me to write so much about a boy I laid eyes on 3 days ago. It's not usual for me to go up to boys and talk to them. I'm the type of girl who usual hides behind their fringe and ******* glasses. I'm guessing you must be different then.

Or maybe I just want to fall in love.

Here, I will not write about your mysterious brown eyes that never land on anything for more than a few seconds or your shy personality that keeps you from fitting in or how homesick I am for your smile that I've never seen or even the way I feel about you.
Here, I'm going to write about the first time you said a word to me. And that was all it was. So here it goes.

My best friend dragged me to her locker because she saw you there. Just yesterday, I gather the courage to tell her how I couldn't stop thinking about you, even if I only laid eyes on you for the first time the day before (I never stopped thinking about you - I just couldn't) She guessed before I even told her. You were standing there, awkwardly, your back facing your friends. Your eyes looked far away in some distant universe. I wish I saw what you were seeing. You stood there, far enough to be alone, straight enough to be confident. Once I laid my eyes on you, I couldn't tear away my gaze. I told her that I should speak to you, because you were new. She told me it would be awkward as you were with your friends.

Some part of me would have ran up to you if it wasn't for my best friend who dragged me to a corner and made me think what I should say. I tried to think, but my eyes were fixated on you, and the view of you apparent distracts me. You walked closer to us, stopping far at the water cooler. I looked at my best friend in the eyes and she knew that I was going to talk to you. She closed her eyes and walked away shamelessly, hoping I wouldn't mess this up.
You were drinking water, your face facing downwards. I stood there nervously, waiting for youth be done. Once you took a gulp, I gathered my nerves and said the one word I've been saying over and over again in my mind. 'Hi.' You looked at me. You eyes properly fixed at me for the first time. I don't know what you where thinking, probably 'what the hell, i was trying to drink' but you said 'hi' back. That word swoon my heart and I was all giddy inside. All it took was one word to make me write this. One word to make me happy. One word to make me fall for you. I can't remember if you smiled, or if I smiled but I guess I wasn't saying anything or maybe you were uninterested so you walked back to your friends.

I swear I had much more to say than just a hi.
The first time you truly laid eyes on me.
It is too late at night to believe that you'd be the one for me
because honestly, there's nothing in me you would see
and a lot in the other girls in my school.
