The Thought of You (unfinished)

I fell for the ghost of you,
the idea I built so quickly in my brain.
For what your hands felt like
even for a second.

Word Spew

Here I am, lying in bed
wondering how I let this happen again.
I try my best, but seem to fall short.
My words lack something of skill
and my chest aches with anxiety.
I want to tell you how I feel
but am too afraid it'll come out wrong.
Because I take all your emotions in stride
and feel them inside me,
as if they are my own.

This has been a draft for so long... I wrote it last year in November and I guess it's time to let it see the light.

Standing in a crowd 

of familiar faces.

Yet, this feeling of loneliness

gnaws at my heart

with an all too familiar feeling.

A soft embrace in your arms.

Only for a moment.

That was all it took

for me to forgive you

and happiness to engulf my heart

with a temporary reassurance.

You held our arm around me.

Only for a moment.

My few seconds of bliss

where my love renewed within you

because your smile is my sky

and your arms are my castle.

One step ahead

always closer

always on his mind.

He smiles to me

but sadness only comes

for he is far from me

and I am no longer his.

With a glimpse my heart was captured.

In a single conversation I was already falling.

You caught me when I had fallen.

But you didn't know I had fallen for you.

Now you're leaving with few words for me to keep.

With no goodbye, I'm left with the fading memories of your smiles and sadness.

Because, I had fallen for a friend.

I want to live like a butterfly.

         Quiet and unique.

and when people see me

they'll be amazed at how

      different I am.

I want to live like a butterfly.
