She has it all:

wit, intelligence
and beauty,
but denies them
as if to be special
is somehow
a shame.

She keeps her heart
deep within a castle:
moat, drawbridge,
walls, keep and towers
to keep hurt away.

If you want her you
must lay siege
to the fortress,
slowly break down
all obstacles,
replace them
with trust.

You must win
her by being
patient and worthy.

I am an old soldier
but my will
remains stronger
than most.

I have one
more campaign
left in me.

I will take
this citadel,
overcome
these obstacles
or break my heart
on its walls.

Defeat is not
an option where
such a prize
awaits.

"Once more into
the breach."

I noticed you at first day
But you didn't

First time we talked,
you thought that I was funny
We talked a lot from that day
And you recognized me as your friend
It was really a move,
because I started to liking you

You looked at me in the eyes,
with those brown iris.
You were sad that day,
and you said
that I am your best friend
Your sad eyes blinded me
I was drowning,
but you were too sad to see

Morning came
I realized your words
"best friend"
It was a sign
that I should stop my fight

When our knees touched
I didn't even know
to move my body or not.
Intoxicating,
and terrifying at the same time

It was December
We were close than ever
You wished me happy birthday
And I almost said
"I love you too"

I knew it from the start
this whole thing could really pained me
"you can't be friend with someone you love"
But still,
dumb girl, do the dumb things

they yelled at each other
wondered if I came from a can of coke
instead of a soft part inside her
he talked like a mad man
no, he was a mad man

I remember
still clear
tired eyes
gloomy breakfast
deathly stare

now
i luckily forget the pain
and unluckily,
cant feel anything

saw the sea
did not dive into the waves
waited the sunset
walked a thousand miles away but there was no good reason.
got lost in the dark, and pleaded with star
but the horizon looked down, and the star was far away

She
he
glowing,
burning;
she,
aloof,
satirical;
he,
bound for adventure;
she,
mored to the shore;
he,
launched,
incautious;
she,
solitary,
left out - and,
ready to implore a share,

his disaster,

— The End —
