11:11, make a wish.
for me, I wish, for things to stay the same.
but it was too late.
for when I wish for it to stay the same, it had changed.
I feel the distance, even when we're close.
the effort I place to keep it together,
for it to not change,
was nothing but in vain.
sometimes, I feel like it's one-sided.
That it's only me.
do you feel like we've changed?
Or is it all in my head?
i used to know what to say, what to type and how to react.
now I'm not even sure what to do.
do I say what's on my mind? Can I do this? Should I?
I feel restricted. I used to never limit myself when it comes to you.
But I find myself unconsciously doing it several times.
Before it was something that I do all the time.
i can see myself losing you,
Slowly, bit by bit;
and there's nothing I could do to mend it.
you're the one person I didn't want to lose.
the one who went through everything with me,
the one who keeps by me, truly knows me.
the one I run to, on an autopilot.
i trust you with my soul, my bare self.
i trusted for us to stay the same.
to never change.
but I guess i didn't trust us enough,
for I made the wish, when the clock showed 11:11.
i silently yelled, for the wish to come true.
I guess even in silence, someone heard me.
Because knowing a person's wish, before it is granted,
Will never make it come true.

11:11, make a wish.
My wish, is for you to be happy.
Even if it's without me.
So I'll keep the wish to myself,
Hoping it'll come true.

to my close friend, i will never have the guts to voice this out. But I will soon.
