This cruelty of human nature
Love gives us both strength and weakness

Even though it is simple
It is difficult

Layers and layers of skin as we peel off the onion, tears well up in our eyes

The more we reveal, the more vulnerable we get

As your heart and mind tries to speak at the same time, words come out all wrong

It wasn’t a game for losers and winners
But a bet with the heart

Nobody wants to get hurt
Maybe I should’ve put my walls down

Maybe you were right,
you may not be the one for me
that I would have acted like I care

I’m sorry if I’ve hurt you, alas not what I wanted

What if I always knew you are what I want, and what I need? But so afraid that you’ll let me down

If you could just see that it was because I am not confident that you wouldn’t give up on me

Maybe it wasn’t fair that you weren’t able to prove to me because I didn’t tell you

Likewise, I wanted to see by myself if I am someone who can make you fight

But maybe deep down, you couldn’t or it’s just my own stupidity to not allow myself to risk this heart

Maybe it’s too late to regret now
It breaks me to see that I’ve made you think I am someone which you knew I aren’t

In all hopelessness, I am willing to fight but if I fail, I just hope that we can give this friendship a chance and then you’ll be convinced again that you weren’t wrong about how you felt about me at the start
