The Girl Who Walks Past Me In The Hallways Everyday

I've noticed you from the start
The way you walked into the hall
With your head bowed low
Denying any eye contact
(You still do that, though)
And I wish I could tell you
How amazing you just look
So you wouldn't walk past me—
That same pair of feet
Feeling hesitant to leave

We are complete strangers
But I feel like I've known you for years
The way you try to hold back your tears
The way you try to contain your laughter
The way you untangle your earpods at the bus stop
The way you trip over your own shoelaces
And got mad at yourself
The way you make me feel
So completely into you

You are dull, oridinary, nothing special
But that's not what I see
I've always hoped you'd walk down the hallway
Looking at tired faces and weary eyes
Instead of rugged plain white shoes

The way I see, I could hug you tight
And hold you close, tell you
"Everything will be alright and I am here for you"
The way I see, I could tickle you
Tell you silly jokes and make funny faces
To make you laugh even harder

The way I see, we could share earpods
But you wouldn't even need them anymore
I can sing your favourite songs for you
And when you're tired, do not hesitate
To rest your head on my shoulders
I could keep you company on long lonely bus rides
The way I see, I'd tightly knot your shoelaces together
In case you fall for someone better

I can be the one to prove your typical
"I can never dream of someone thinking of me,
Dreaming about me and wanting me" quotes
wrong
I will tell you how much I want to be with you
Every minute, second of my life
I will tell you how much I wanted to dream of you
In my sleep everynight
I will tell you how much I love you
And just how much you mean to me

You,
The girl who walks past me in the hallway everyday
Hold your head up and look me in the eye
*"You look really amazing today"

Take Root
untouched Nov 2013
You always say sorry
When it's too late
You always apologize
Never recognizing your mistake
Second chances don't come twice
I fed on your lies and paid the price
Greener leaves and taller trees?
No, I don't want them no more
Nothing ever grow on tears
And I'd be such a fool
To believe them anymore

Lack
untouched Nov 2013
I lack sad and lonely days
Where I'd lie in my bed
And stare at the ceiling
For whole lonely hours

I lack the time spent in my comfort zone
All snuggled up in front of the computer
Chain watching videos late at night alone

But with you, it's not the same
I could share my bubbly days with you
And brighten up your world
You could spare me a bit of your dark times
And I'd help you get through it

Lying on the bed with you all day
Spending late nights together
That is what I want to do with you
But I would take you somewhere
Further and better
Where I'd make those sweet romantic scenes
Come true

Oh, darling
Don't you feel so low anymore
I'll be there for you even when the sky falls

Ticking
untouched Dec 2013
All the clocks are screaming too late
Leave everything to fate
Another promise made
Leads to another heartbreak

Flashback to the happy times
But it's all too late
Those memories are dead
You've forgotten what's been said
And all our important dates
Haven't been on here for a while, this is just something I wrote some time back.

Traces of You
untouched Oct 2013
I wore clothes with the tags
"Dry Cleaning only"
Reminding myself you are always here
Even after you're gone
Far too gone
As if i could wash the stains off
And start over with a clean slate
You, knowing you will always be there

Habit

thinking that words are enough
to express what we truly feel

*quit it
don't let the words escape
and start loving instead

Window To Your Soul

Your eyes,
They hide behind a protective layer of colors
And you wonder,
Why no one loves you

A Wandering Soul
untouched Nov 2013
The long wait and sleepless nights
It's like waiting but without a sight
Uncertain whether to turn left or right
When it's 3am and here I am,
Still searching, yet to find my light

Should've Known
untouched Nov 2013
Our song will be the one
where we'll put together
all our favourite verses and lyrics

We will sing our song everyday
till it loses its meaning
till it's no longer our favourite

But even so
our song will still stuck on repeat
in our heads, in our hearts
long after the love's missing

And the more we loved
the deeper we fell
the lonelier we'll be
when our song ends

Our favourite verses and lyrics
will not mean a thing
but only a lonely memory

Our song will no longer exist
the verses and lyrics loses their meaning
everything goes back to the beginning
when they don't mean a thing

"Same-same, But Different"
untouched Nov 2013
There are two kinds of humans
And both of them lie
But the difference is—
One gives hope,
While the other,
Kills the remaining bit of hope left

There are two kinds of humans
And both of them lie
But the difference is—
One gives (false) hope to ****,
While the other,
Saves by killing the remaining bit of hope left

Wrapped Around

I wrapped myself
Around countless sheets
But something is always wrong
The cold at night is too strong
And your arms are not around
To keep me warm

All Too Late

I let my demons swallow me whole
Then ask of them to let me go
But it's all too late
And I've lost control
Of my own tangled soul

Constant
untouched Oct 2013
I should of never believed you
Or maybe
Not doubt myself
Because when you said you'd sing me to sleep
You usually left after I've fallen in too deep
And when I played out my dreams
You were never there for me

Definition
untouched Nov 2013
The definition of life
Is to live feeling content
Till you find something better

The definition of love
Is to love feeling blessed
Till you find someone better

All we have is right now
Live and love as it is
Tomorrow is never guaranteed

My Heart Hurts
untouched Nov 2013
You don't see things the way I see them
You don't feel things the way I feel them
You don't even know me and who I am
And you'll never know

Words
untouched Nov 2013
I don't say much
And when I do
It's akin to reading a page from my diary
But that doesn't say much either
For the words and letters strung together
Speaks for my mind
But not my heart

I see people
And I want to be them—
That's how easily I lose myself
