When I met you I was thrilled,
I couldn’t believe that you were real.
I tried my best to get to know you,
And I thought that we fell in love,
It’s such a shame that I was the only one.
I was always there for you,
But you didn’t see,
Everyone was telling me to let go,
But I wanted us to be.
I wish I could go back in time and fix everything that was wrong,
But I can’t do that if I’m dead and gone.
The girl that used to love you has withered in vain,
She vanished from this world,
She couldn’t live in pain.
Now, I’m a shell of a person I used to be.
You are just another stranger to me.

Turn to your left, you see soldiers carrying their AKM’s
Touch the ground
Thousands of us walked these roads
The tension in the air  
suffocates the unfamiliar strangers.

Tears, the scent of sea salt
runs and dances through the breeze.
The present is heavy with the past
in this ancient town
as if it were cloaked in a burka
walking through New York City

I’ve never heard silence so loud before
Unable to speak our minds
In fear of whats to happen
We must keep our words inside
Preventing any further damage

Forgetting the truth and essence of life
Weeping out loud realizing just what I had lost
all that is important to me
taken without a cause

Two days of
silence,
turned to years,
and
just like that
we became strangers.

I can't help but think
what it would be like
If I had never had the courage
to talk to you
Would we still be friends?
Whatever you think "friends" is..
Would we still talk?
Or would we drift, become strangers again..
You don't know how much it pains
to fall in love
and pretend to fall out of it
You don't see past
the mask that hides the scars
You don't know my smile
Is all a fake
Just to please you
So you can leave me alone
Because it pangs..
