#boyandgirl
I watched them from afar, as they laughed and played. Two pieces of innocence, that were soon to fade.
Cause each day they're getting older, now their smiles don't seem the same. They write their feelings in a folder, cuddling they pillows tightly, as they whisper the other's name.
The boy says: "I wish that I could hold you, just like when we used to play. I feel that I love you, but fear that you might not feel the same. So I'll hug my pillow tight, and these tears... will get me through the night. Tomorrow, I will get to see you smile, and I'll be alright."
The girl peeps through her bedroom window, though she can't see the boy. 'Maybe he's asleep, it was a long day after all.' Now she hugs a handmade doll, and whispers words she hopes it can't repeat:
"He looks so cute, when he takes a nap; though I can't remember, the last day his head rested in my lap. Doesn't he love me? Am I really just a friend? These feelings that I have, how can I ever tell him them? I miss the way he held me, all back then; like I was more than a friend. All of these kisses that I give you, are really meant for him."
She sighs and looks up at sky. "Why must boys become men? And why do I want that man, to be more than just my friend?... To be my lover in the end."

RING!!! RING!!!!
The sound before the hello
Ring ring ring
The expectation of the clueless heart
Anticipating the peace that is the Familiar
That Voice permanently engraved in the soul
The symbol of protection and safety
There it comes!!!!
BOOM!!!
The explosion of the heart
BOOM!!! BOOM!!!!!
The Aftermath of the impromptu silence
Just as the strange clear voice escapes the pink vase
Debuting its smashing hit single
It hits the drum when no one is listening for it
Calling out like a violent storm
Threatening to break up the boat on the once calm sea
Like a stowaway hiding in the basement
Only to be revealed by a run of luck.

Ring Ring!! goes the phone
He hears her, he sees her
Calling out in tunes programmed just for her
Can’t wait to hear the smile in her words
No idea what they will talk about today
Maybe he’ll tell her how boring class was
She’ll tell him how she had writer’s block all day
Either way letting each other know the day just begun
The very minute he pressed the green button
Got 50-maybe scenarios off the top of his head
None was anything like what the next 5seconds delivered
A 3rd voice calls, the link severed
Well guess it’s true what they say
2 is company, 3 a crowd
Two questions accompanied by
Shadows of insinuations and accusation
Plunge right through his chest
Resting heavy on the heart
Breaking ground for a long long night

It may be Valentine's Day, but once again, I find no love, just salt.
You see,
I was taught at a young age,
You need to learn to love yourself before you can love anyone else.
Now a boy came along one day,
Made me believe in love myself.
But that love left me locked in a cage,
Unable to breathe, suffocating slowly,
Made to feel nothing but lonely.
I was trapped but not his only.
Just another doll on his shelf,
Not wanted and not needed, they say.
And I will never have a Valentine myself.
For one will ever stay.
I've become dependent and needy,
And it's all his fault.

Here stands a boy and a girl
They live their own life, in their own worlds
But this is not a story about their lives
For this is the time to say goodbye
As the boy looks down at her, he smiles
He says not to worry "I'll only be gone for a little while"
She looks down and begins to cry
She sobs into the boys shoulder and asks him why
"Why can't you be real and stay here with me,
Be here when I wake up, it could always be 'we'"
He says he's sorry but it's time for him to go
He starts to back away as the girl cries no..
He disappears into the light blue sky
As the girl wakes up and opens her eyes
"Someday" she says
"Someday it will forever be just you and I"

He promised her
Unending Joy
Gave her dreams of happiness
A world unknown to her
He left her only with darkness
He Promised her
Endless Love
Made her feel like she could float
On thin air alone
He left and she forgot how to fly
He Promised her
The World
And when she was with him she was
Infinite.
Him and Her against the world
He left and the world crumbled
He promised
And promised
And promised
And she believed him
But
She learnt that his heart was as empty
As the promises he had bled.

There was a boy
And there was a girl
Who both fell in love
With each other
Who both never knew
Years has passed
When they cross paths
She was with someone else
Who she gave a look
So familiar to him
When he realized
He wanted to tell her
He felt the same
But he saw her smile
And that’s how he knew
He was just too late
