The pain of knowing that you can't own
the only thing that matters the most
Feels like reaching for something
That is beyond reach
It feels like crossing
An unstable bridge
It feels like swimming the deepest seas
And knowing that there is just no way
To survive,
To make things work
No matter how hard we try
Like stacking blocks up to a mile
Or looking for the river of Nile
In a barren desert
With nothing but imagination left
With nothing but...
A dying hope.

He's a thousand miles away,
He lives differently from me,
He's better than average...
And that's what made me notice him
Despite the seas...
Mountains...
And lands...
That serve as one of the many barriers
For him to see
And for me to see...
My one and only.

He's like...
An abstract painting.
Someone who is
Full of color and meaning.
Defined by unique strokes and techniques,
An unpolished beauty
That I won't fix.
He's an art...
Yet to be known,
A treasure...
That I can't own.

He gave her a rose
A lush, red rose
That screams of love
And end of sorrows
A vibrant rose
That made her smile
A mundane move,
A classic style
The queen of buds
That rules the heart,
One of the muse
Of nature's art
A bold flower
Of passionate romance
A beautiful rose
Left her entranced

His arms embrace me
as if saying he won't let go
His sweet promises
Make me look forward for tomorrow
He kisses my neck
My cheeks, nose, lips
A lingering touch
Made my heart miss a skip
He cupped my face
And looked straight to my eyes
I can tell that we are
Terifically mesmerized
He's too good to be true
Like an illusion, a mirage
But then it hit me...

This was just my envisage.

Her:
Tucked in my glasses
As I saw you down the hall
With you and your friends
Talking about basketball
Your smile is so bright
And warm like the sun
I took a longing glance
But then had to shun
When your eyes met mine
Afraid that you'd see
The love I have
The girl screaming in me
A shrug, I saw
That's what you did
Head down again
I feel so morbid
Onwards I go
I am unbeknownst
I'm back to being...
One of the shadows.

He embraces me as we lay together
A cuddle so innocent as the night goes deeper
He whisper words that make my heart flutter
How sweet it'd be if I wasn't his other.

His kisses are so light, so gentle, filled with longing
His smile is so true, it brightens up the morning
From dusk to dawn, we can't stop talking
About almost everything and to sweet nothings.

There will only be one time when you will meet...
Someone who'll feel like a perfect fit
Someone who'll make your life complete
Someone who'll make your heart fleet.

The feelings are perfect and so is he
Every moment's just right as long as he's with me
But imperfection comes, the time is faulty
And he's binded with someone accepted by majority

We're like tigers avoiding the hunt,
Like actors doing a dangerous stunt
Hide... hide... don't let them see
That we're together and we're happy

They may think that this is wrong
They may think that I'm headstrong
They may hate me for this affair
They'll do but hear me, I don't care

Because she's all anger
She's always bitter
But if she was better
There'd be no other.
