What is it that one sees in another?
Love is really blind…
Covers all the flaws and shortcomings…
Cos all that you see
Is what you want to see…
And what you don’t,
Well, it gets swept under the carpet called bliss…
When does one wake up?
How does one make another see
That when the veil is lifted
Is that what one would want to be with?
By then it would be too late
Even to say ‘I told you so’…
But that would be unnecessary…
Cos you won’t even give ear to what another has to say…
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder…
Is it safe, then, to say…
What one sees in the other is what another sees of the one?
How one feels about the other is what another feels about the one…
The joy of seeing that curve etched on one’s face…
The exhilaration of one’s company…
The knowledge that one is near…
The longing to be connected forever and a day…
Why is it that one can be so blind to see?

How do I tell you that I love you?
How can I show you I really care the world about you?
To the ends of the earth and back I would traverse…
Yet you know not of it… or want it not.
It hurts to the core to have you so near yet feeling so far away
Knowing soon it will no longer be so…
Wishing to make the most of what’s left…
Yet you seem to have wandered off into another place…
One where I do not exist, at least not directly…

Maybe I am jealous…
Maybe I am selfish…
Maybe all I want is you to myself…
I know that is not possible…
But I just cant seem to let you go…
All that I have known in you has all been revoked…
Sometimes I feel I know you not any longer…
My friend of old has moved on…
Leaving me behind to tend to myself…
Oh what a ferocious world it is out there…
With no firm shoulder to cling on for support nor any hand to hold in the darkest alleys…
Where have you gone?
How do I get you back again?
Wine is best matured and aged…
Why did it all have to happen?
I never understood why I was so complying…
Why didn’t I stand up and fight for it?
Why didn’t I say anything about not going through with it?
Dreams will remain dreams…
Castles in the sky…
Bubbles waiting to be burst

Anyway,
I just want you to know
I’d do it all over again if I had to…
Lay down my life for you…
Cross the oceans and seas for you…
Climb the highest mountains for you…
Anything you want me to…
*sigh*

How do you do it?
Put a smile on my face when I’m blue
Make my heart skip a beat when I feel like in a coma
Hypertension, tachycardia when you’re around…
Dyspnea, hypoxic when you’re not.
I’d go through a myocardial infarction if you went away…
Hydrothorax myself from all the tears…
But it’d be all worth it…
If I could just be with you.
The way I feel when I see you smile…
Even if only for a while…
I just want me to be the cause of it…
Cos it hurts too bad if it ain’t.
Sully appears when you treat others nicer…
I turn greener than the hulk himself.
A lot of times I wish I didn’t…
Maybe I wouldn’t feel so bad then…
But it’s the way you make me feel…
I have absolutely no powers over them
Tell me, baby, what can I do…
Cos sitting in the dark with you on my mind
Ain’t getting the job done.
You make me soar on wings I never knew I had…
Feel like I’m on top of the world with the sun on my back…
See the beauty in every little thing that comes my way…
You’re the reason I wake up everyday with a skip in my step…
I dread being apart from you…
I wish we were joined at the hip…
Forever and a day is not enough to get to know you…
There’s so much I don’t know where to start…
What a shame that I no longer have the opportunity…
I missed out on that chance.
All I ask is that she treat you the same way I would…
Cos you deserve nothing less…
I want only the best for you…
Because no matter what I say or do
The fact is…
I still love you.
As much as I want to deny it…
Every fibre of my being screams out with passion and desire…
I can’t change the way I’m wired…
I wish life wouldn’t be so cruel…
To give me you and then take you away…
If ever I was given a second chance,
I wouldn’t let you go ever again.
You mean too much to me…
You make me feel whole and complete.
Maybe I’m not the perfect person for you…
Maybe I’m taking the place of another…
But, oh, how I wish I was…
Because I can’t live another day without you…
Maybe I can… but I don’t ever want to…
I don’t want to find out what it would be like to not have you..
To not have your arms around me…
To not smell the scent of your perfume…
Or the warmth of your skin…
If only you knew…
Would it make any difference?
Would it change anything?
I wish it would…
Cos you’re the best thing that’s ever happened to me.
Why do I feel so deeply for you when you don’t even care…
I don’t want to feel this way yet I can’t stop myself.
When you’re not around I wish you were here…
Yet when you are near, it feels like you’re a million miles away.
Sometimes I see a spark in your eye
Sometimes it’s a glimmer…
Yet I’ll never know if it was because of me
Or someone else…
It hurts so much I’m getting immune to it
Yet over and over again the pain I still can’t fully bear.
When will I get over this?
When will it come to an end?
For you everything seems to be so much better…
I’m happy you feel that way.
I know how that feeling feels like…
I once had a chance to feel it too…
When everything faded into oblivion…
And the only thing that mattered was to live a day at a time…
Soaking in the most of whatever life had to offer.
Now, the only thing that keeps me sane
Is living life one step at a time
So as not to put too much hope or expectation in anything or anyone
Lest it be crushed into a million pieces like before…
Burst of the bubble into thin air…
Why can’t we talk like normal?
Why can’t I seem to say what I want to say when I’m with you?
Why do I eat my words up and jumble all my sentences it comes out as a mumble?
I want to be myself again…
I want to love and be loved in return…
I want to see the sun rise and think how blessed am I to be alive
And then turn over and look into your smiling face…
And have a blanket of warmth come over me
The knowledge that it feels awesome to be alive
And to be able to share this moment with you.
So where are you, then?
How can I find you?
What do you look like?
What are your interests?
Come quick… I’m waiting…
I have been waiting ever since the day I knew I had you…
I will still wait til the day you appear in front of me…
Till the day I meet you…
Till then, do take care.

Why did you pack up and go?
Although you’re far away I still can’t let you go…
Lost in entanglement, without your presence
Sad at the fact I am helpless in making you feel better…
Maybe it is best to leave you alone for a bit…
Maybe I need to learn to not hold on so tight
But is it my fault that I love you too much to care?
After all, I want nothing more than to see you happy…
Even if it means to make me cry.
If only I could show you how much you mean to me…
If the words I say could melt all the snow and bring flowers to bloom
I would cross the oceans,
Climb the highest mountains,
Cross the Sahara desert…
Just to make sure you feel wanted, needed, loved…
Assured that when you lay your head to sleep at night…
Someone really cared, still cares and will always care for you.

Take a look at my world through my eyes…
What can you see?
Do you see what I see?
Can you feel what I feel?
The beauty that lies deep within you…
The love I feel for you…
The pain that sears through me when you turn cold…
Where did I go wrong?
We were meant to be…
Everything was right…
Everything…except that which was in my mind.
No one ever warned about quick minds…
But lots have been said about not worrying.
Yet how is it that I care so much about one person?
How is it that every fibre of my being just wants to see that one person happy…
Why is it that my everything is evolving around this one person?
Every second of my waking moment is filled with you in my mind…
Every moment I’m wondering what occupies you…
Wondering if I, too, am in your mind…
Thinking of ways to cross our paths without making it obvious…
You make me ponder… you make me stare…
You send me half way across the world and back in my mind
Yet when I’m there in person, I disappear…
So come and take a look at my world through my eyes…
Tell me what you see…
Maybe it may give some enlightenment…
To shed some light on why I do the things I do…
Or say what I say…
Or think what I think…
Try my world for a day
And tell me what you think.
