It's 11:11
and for the first time
after a very long time
I'm wishing for myself
and not for you
We found each other at the wrong time
From that moment
We knew exactly what we felt-- a fire ignites that we have to utterly resist
You are with her and I, with him
Who knew then?
That we will both have the same feelings that has been kept for so long

Fate paved a way
We were both in pain
We found ourselves lost
Alone..
The things that we planned for the rest of our lives vanished into thin air and became invisible

Then, we found each other..
Again..
We started something special
You took my pain away
You smiled and laughed with me
So innocent and sincere

For the longest time
We both know what we want
At last!
We can be more than what we had
More than friends
This time
We are both ready

But the odds are still against us
How unfortunate this is
We both have too much to fix
These too shall pass, we know
When? We don't know
And when it does?
Will we be together now?

We both know
We don't want to let each other go
We are both holding on
I won't let go
I won't let you go
I believe in possibilities

Know that I will think of you
I will pray and have faith
Everyday
Let's be strong
You made me feel special
What we have is one in a million
I cannot just throw it away

Everything you told me will be safe with me..
You are the one that I want to keep
Forever..
I think you are the best yet

You will always have me..
Come back and find me
You already found me. Twice.

You can always find your way back to me..

The elephant in the room
As you and I sit across each other
This feeling of impending doom
With silence thick enough to smother

We stare across and mumble none
As we let silence scream volumes
We both know that this is done
This bonds releasing lethal fumes

There's no point in trying to save
When both of us are drowning
Our failing love needs its own grave
With decay and death surrounding

Goodbye for forever
Throw away the connection
Have our hearts sever
And feel no abjection
Those breakups when no one's sad because they knew it was coming...
No matter how much I try to push past you
I can’t
Physically, I’m unable to walk away
Incapable of accepting the new me
Something is holding me back
Yet I refuse to believe I’d stay
Not for something this dark
Maybe there’s no glimmer of light
After all
