I hear your voice from the corridor.
Your laughter triggers my grief, I get so weak.
The voice that once gave me butterflies now feels like a dagger in my chest.
I can no longer hide, time's up.
I have to face you.
I wasn't strong enough to look down and our eyes met.
I felt the space, the universe even, between us.
A cracked glass wall I can't punch through no matter how hard I'd try.
While facing reality the ground beneath me gets blurry.
I'll never get away from you.
The walls I have to build to survive having you around won't be crushable.
Loving you will be my loneliest downfall.

I hear your voice from the corridor.
Your laughter triggers my grief, I get so weak.
The voice that once gave me butterflies now feels like a dagger in my chest.
I can no longer hide, time's up.
I have to face you.
I wasn't strong enough to look down and our eyes met.
I felt the space, the universe even, between us.
A cracked glass wall I can't punch through no matter how hard I'd try.
While facing reality the ground beneath me gets blurry.
I'll never get away from you.
The walls I have to build to survive having you around won't be crushable.
Loving you will be my loneliest downfall.
