• I don’t know how I should begin
    I know the prologue is somewhere within
    Letters are turning
    Words are forming
    Exactly what I wanted to seek
    I open my mouth to speak

    But stop and walk away
    I should’ve told you yesterday
    More like weeks ago
    But how to go about this so
    I just didn’t know.

    So I’m writing to you now
    These words brought, I bestow
    A gift, a cherished present

    No, not this presentiment
    Not did I wish those words to hear
    Feel the burn you’re remark seared

    Words I longed to tell you
    Vanish without even a cue
    Now I know what not to do

    Prevent the words from approaching
    My conscience is coaching
    To act on impulse without a thought
    I turn back to give what I got
    Thinking of ways to ignore what’s to come
    Coming up with conclusions to succumb
    Will you protect me?
    I wait to see.

    Dreading the future, sitting on the stairs
    Acknowledging how I really care
    Lost deep within my brain
    Overlooking the light rain
    Sneaking up behind me, with a look of surprise
    I wipe remaining tears, only left to slowly rise

    Take the words, to you I throw
    How was I to know?
    That you would take my hand
    And make me stand

    You read my note
    Of love to devote
    Surprise leaves your face
    Pity covering its trace

    Why this happened to me is unfair
    Something I tried not to share

    I turn, once more, away
    Seeing the end of the day
    Breathing harder and heavier
    Wishing you were my brother
    So I could turn back around
    And stand my ground

    I try to do that exactly
    But cowardly, I pray to not see
    Close my eyes for a moment
    Open them to see your movement
    You’re standing in front of me
    An action I thought as deadly

    A kiss on the cheek, I sought to leave
    Leaving things, as I believe
    Not the best for I
    For I know I’ll cry

    Later,
    When I dream it all again
