---

It started out innocent; a shy boy and a shy girl.
I didn’t know you too well, and yet you pursued me.
With every passing day my feelings for you grew.
Friends, peers, they encouraged me so!
Go out with him already, just go!

Patient you were, and luring you were.
I waited; I pondered; I was quite unsure.
At first they were days, then weeks passed by.
Finally I knew, this is the guy!
Maybe, just maybe, I’ll give this a try.

From that point on, my life was brand new.
One guy made me so happy; that guy was you.
My life took a turn, for the better I had thought.
You told me I did the very same for you too.

Two years passed by…the happiest I had ever been.
I could feel you sinking in, deep below my skin.
Every moment, every second, you were always there.
In my mind or in person, gently stroking my hair.
When I fell, you were always there to catch me.
In return, I gave you the very best I could offer.

When bad times fell upon us, they eventually floated away.
We were back in love by the very next day.
Things like these make us stronger, we had said.
As long as we love each other, nothing else matters.
All this…until one day, where all my dreams were shattered.

I was blinded by you, blinded by your promises.
Every word you spoke filled my heart with delight.
Every step we took, I longed for more, for our future.
You made me so confident; made me so sure.
One day you struck me, with all of your might.
But I wasn’t ready to give up, so I put up a fight.

It was useless.
I was trying my hardest, with little success.
It was then I realized, it’s over…it’s done.
The life in me was crushed, like a dying sun.

It was so sudden, so very unfair.
One minute you were here, and now you’re not there.
What happened to all of your sweet words?
That brought pictures of flowers and birds?
Why was it raining, and why was I dying?
Why was I the one left here, alone and crying?
You say you are sorry, but I know you are not.
For if you were sorry you’d have given it a second shot.

No longer my lover, not even my friend.
You left me alone at a lonely dead end.
Sitting there crying,
Contemplating about dying,
I sat by myself, yet you never showed up.

I still don’t understand, but I do know some things.
I’m like a bird; I have my own pair of wings.
I have fallen and lost my flight.
But I have not yet lost my own sight.
I see a future, and I see hope.
Slowly, but surely, I will cope.

I loved my lover, and forever will I love him.
He might have been a dream, but I loved him so.
Now that he’s gone, I must get up and go.
I will fly again soon, this I do know.

This heart of mine is slowly gluing together the pieces.
Everyday the sound of my once dying heartbeat increases.
It’s growing stronger and surer.
I know that someday…my dreams will go further.
