I looked at everything as if it were a blur, Rose petals were slowly falling down, Colored lights quickly escaped my eyes, Fireworks where seen by people passing by as I tried to figure everything out, your eyes dawned on mine. At the middle of the line, there you were, Dressed in denim with your hair slicked back, I laughed at how hard you tried to look formal, It’s obvious, how nervous you must’ve felt, And yet, you walked towards me. At that moment I knew I had to leave, But the situation seemed surprising, The closer you got, the farther I knew we’d grow apart. At that moment, you were standing by my side, You genuinely smiled. Right then and there, I knew it wasn’t me you were looking at, But the girl from behind.

The proposal I thought was mine.
I looked at everything as if it were a blur, Rose petals were slowly falling down, Colored lights quickly escaped my eyes, Fireworks where seen by people passing by as I tried to figure everything out, your eyes dawned on mine. At the middle of the line, there you were, Dressed in denim with your hair slicked back, I laughed at how hard you tried to look formal, It’s obvious, how nervous you must’ve felt, And yet, you walked towards me. At that moment I knew I had to leave, But the situation seemed surprising, The closer you got, the farther I knew we’d grow apart. At that moment, you were standing by my side, You genuinely smiled. Right then and there, I knew it wasn’t me you were looking at, But the girl from behind.
