i ceased to see.

i run ahead just to look back.

to see how life has been. how life will be.

it had been a fruitless effort. trying to change it all.

i try and try again. to no avail.

its meaningless really. to live for yourself.

i ceased to see. the day i ceased to be selfish.

my life had been in chaos.

i was no longer sure who i should trust.

no longer sure who to befriend.

as scared i was. i did not show.

it would be a sign of weakness.

then i met her.

though it was not a grand entrance for her into my life. nor mine into hers.

our fate entwined with one another's. crossing into each's path.

we took our time. slowly. to embrace one another.

she came from the plains of despair.

i had arrived from the path of lonesome.

i will take you away from the pain. i had said.

and that i had done.

so do take me away from this loneliness.

i had only wanted to heal her. to make her find life much more meaningful.

then. i fell for her. amazing really. strangers. to now.

it felt like a long journey. one i had not planned.

i find myself loving her more and more. as everyday passed.

i had not wanted to feel that way.

i had been afraid. more so. maybe even more than her.

love feels alien to me. it made me feel insecured.

then. slowly. i am willing to give things. not material.

i am willing to give in. something i had never done.

and something she had never done. slowly.

we began missing each other's presence.

yet, i enjoy every moment of it.

everytime i see her. and look into her eyes.

i'd find an urge. to just say the words.

from the bottom of my heart, i had spoke.

i feel like a child. when i'm with her. back to the childhood days.

where nothing really mattered. where everything is so simple.

lets do this slowly. shall we?

and enjoy every moment of it. look not for the destination.

but for the journey.

it will make things a whole lot easier. trust me on this.

i would protect this bond between us. with everything i have.

try as i must. die if i must.

though life will be harsh. as usual.

our hands would bind tighter.

so that i would not lose sight of u. in the storms to come.

it would just feel like a dance. a waltz.

with u in my embrace, hand in hand.

we would finish this song. then lay back and watch the stars.

they would be my witness. for this love that we share.

just call for me. and i would come running.
