It has been a month or so
Still thinking what it could have been
If you did not yield to leaving
And forgetting everything
A smile can still be painted
And my spirit is still filled.

Fate is not in our ways
Yet our hearts remain beating
Our souls searching
Reality knocks on our door
No sense in holding to something fading
Help me get over then.

Hope is in the horizon
Tomorrow brings a different story
A sea of new faces may surround us
The perfect love may be found
A love that overcomes any adversity
And does not surrender easily.

I pray for a desire
To teach my heart to forget you
To free my soul from blue
That I may breathe the wild breeze of tomorrow
And witness the buds blossoming
With the right man holding thy hand.

"The world's greatest daughter, forever and always."
That was what you used to call me.
You said it with
Such pride
Such happiness
Such confidence
You used to carry me on your shoulders as we were enveloped by my wild laughter
I was proud, I was happy, and a was confident at the fact that I was in fact
The world's greatest and luckiest daughter
And yet, three years later, to the other side of the country you ran
Not a single letter
Not a single text message
Not a single call
Nothing.
Because that's what I am to you now... right?
Nothing.
And I will, forever and always, be nothing to you.

The colour of your eyes are brown
A boring, uninteresting shade of brown
I do not drown in your eyes
I do not become mesmerized
But
I can see
The love
The passion
The intensity
Of your character
Through those eyes that may not draw attention to anyone at first
Eyes that are not the rare shade of blue or emerald
But
When your smile is witnessed
Your genuine
Sincere
And utterly attractive smile
They will understand your eyes
Like I do.
