How strange it must be, I thought,
to find myself, in the midst
of a remarkable afternoon,
suddenly holding hands with the girl
who could rain fire down upon me
at a moment’s notice
She always walked on one side of me
silent and brooding
never letting go of my arm
I hummed to myself
and kicked at stones
I've waited for this
And now, I have her
Her, my only chance
"Take my arm, love.
Don’t run.
I can fix you."
My last sentence caught her attention
She looked at me
Those eyes that can make my knees wobble
I saw how vulnerable I made her feel
She hated that
Her feelings exposed to a stranger
I despised myself for saying that
I hated myself even more when she said,
"Go away. I don't need to be fixed."
Holding her face
I knew I can't redeem myself
The love I've waited
Gave everything for
Already giving up on me, on us
She let go of my hand
Also my heart
"I thought you're someone,
Someone who'll make me feel
I wasn't broken at all."
