"Better to be safe than sorry", they said. So i took the safe path. Full of roses and all beautiful flowers. I made sure I took the right steps towards you. We had it. We almost bloomed. Did i make a mistake? Was there not enough water and sunlight to nurture and make us grow to be even more fond of each other? Did i forget that flowers will eventually wilt? I used to be so risky with love. So for once, I choose to take the safe route. But it brought me so much sadness. So much pain. And still i failed. Still, i end up hurt. Still, i falter. Still, just like water.

I thought things would be different. I thought wrong. I was just treading water.
