a heart on hold, a breath held tight,
waiting for the fading light.
he gives his all, then turns away,
leaving dawn where yesterday
burned so bright.  

when he is done,
my fragile hope will come undone.

When you're in love, you lose control,
Doing foolish things, heart and soul.
A stranger’s glance, yet still you’d dare,
To chase a smile, to show you care.

When you're in love, your thoughts run wild,
Like dreams that danced when you were a child.
You wonder if she feels the same,
Or if it’s just a fleeting flame.

You think of scents you've never known,
Soft whispers carved in dreams alone.
You overthink, your heart feels sore,
But then—she texts, and the pain's no more.

When you're in love, the world turns bright,
Even the darkest days feel light.
You laugh at things that make no sense,
Lost in a love so intense.

When you're in love, you just don’t know—

In a daydream, I see you again,
We’re laughing, we’re dancing, a world without end.
But then I wake, and you’re just a ghost,
A fleeting shadow, gone without a trace.

The ceiling above holds more than my sighs,
It carries the words left behind.
A love that never was, a love that could’ve been,
Lost in the room.

Still, I’ll dream, I’ll hold onto the light,
That someday I’ll break through this endless night.
And find you there, not as mine, but free,
On the other side, where we were never meant to be.
