If by some miracle



If by some miracle, chance, or twist of fate that you find yourself looking for love... Please look for me. If one day you wake up and feel like you're ready to take a leap with some. I hope that someone is me. Admittedly, I've been trying to let you go along everything I feel about you. Unsuccessful I was, in many times. But I know one day I'll wake up without a single thought of you in mind. But if you do change your mind. If you feel like the time is right. If you feel like your life has been sorted out. Please take the risk with me. I'll get your coat, serve you tea, and offer you snacks. I'll welcome you back as if you've never left.

Pre-departure



Many months, I longed for something more
Than what we had before
Accepting that you left and closed the door
And gave up hope, forevermore

Stubborn I was, I then asked God
To see you again, for one last chance
And clarify where things went wrong
To myself improve even more

Six months later, he heard my prayer
And there you are, beautiful as ever
How the sun kissed you auburn hair
The same person I'll fall for over again

But as loud as I was, I was kept silent
As I fail to approach what I always wanted
Frozen in place in a place so crowded
I focus on other things on my end

Then the day comes, I muster up courage
To approach you, and left my baggage
I knew then, it was never the same
But stubborn I was, I tried anyway

Now this is the moment I waited for months
I have done my best not to lose this chance
Now I seat beside you near
Hard beats of my heart I feel

Rather than chase, what was lost
I simply asked where I went wrong
Baffled I was, you said nothing more
Then I realize my greatest woe

You can do all the steps of notion
And perfectly execute, your plan of action
Even with perfect execution
You simply cannot avoid frustration

And so as we talk, we drift away
As the silence in this corner was embraced
The bustling crowd of this airport
Is silenced to my very core

How stupid I was to bargain
To a decision you are already certain
But I accept this twist of fate
I already got what I wished for anyway 

Finally, I can close this chapter of my life
No more what ifs, or maybe wrong time 
Six months of agony was finally over
My made up romance, drains in the sewer

And so I sat beside you diligently
As I wait for the plane to arrive
I may never get my perfect ending
But atleast the next 10 minutes are mine

You sounded better in my head

Maybe you weren't meant to be together
And the idea of that person
Was merely imagination
It was never mutual
It was never moving forward
You made a book out of a sentence
Now the plot has nowhere to go
To live and accept that it's not them
That you'll end up with
Eases that pain bit by bit
You never stood a chance
Because you were never given 
It was all in your head
Purely one sided
Now you live with that reality
And move on
Out of your head
And into the world

Live, just for today

Shhhhh settle down
Let your body sink in
In that age old mattress

Hush! Your wandering thoughts
Feel things deeply
And succumb to the feelings

Embrace it all today
The shame, exhaustion, and anxiety
Hold on to it and slowly let go

One day it'll be over
Better than today
But for today, live
