How the years pass by
and sweet memories fade away!
Look at the names written
on the old classroom desks
covered in a thick layer of dust.
Do you see them?

To everyone else,
she was crying
for no "apparent" reason.
Only she knew,
she had put together
all the broken pieces
of her heart.
She could finally let go
of all her pain...

The stars are the same,
Yet the sky somehow looks different.
The wind is the same,
The aroma, I reckon, is missing.
The buildings look just the same,
But I don’t recognise any.
The crowd looks at me knowingly,
And yet there’s no familiar face.
I speak volumes,
But the inherent soul is missing.
I have lived here for a while,
Yet home is missing.
Or is it just me..

I didn’t choose to love you,
I just fell in love
with the way you looked at me
when we first met.

We spoke for the first time
but I had never felt
more at ease
even with the best
of my friends

There was an assurance
in your unspoken words
and I knew that
I’ll always be safe
in your arms

We talked endlessly
from dusk to dawn
and I had no inkling
on how time went by
when we were together

I loved the way
I could always be me
when you were around
and not be afraid
of being judged

I loved spending sleepless nights,
dreaming and yet
waking up fresh
with the sun

I loved the way
you always brought out
the best in me
nevermind the situations

I loved how remembering
each moment spent with you
brought a smile to my face
even in the worst times

I loved how we could
have the worst arguments
and still wake up next morning
with a sweet smile
knowing it will be okay

I loved how
having you by my side
gave me the strength
to face whatever
might come

I loved how
I didn’t choose to love you
I just fell in love
with everything you are
and everything I am with you.
