I want to let you in on a secret.
I'm not who you think I am. In fact,
My disguise is so thin, Im surpised you haven't seen right through me.
I'm the guy of your dreams... masquerading as your friend.
At times, I want to rip off this facade, like I did, once before.
But I can't, because, you'll run away. Leave like the rest I fought tirelessly to forget.
So I decided it's better to live with this lie, than to expose my feelings inside.
My father use to tell me, there are two types of people:
The ones you grow out of, and the ones you grow into.
I really hope, I'm the latter.
I may not be the one you love today, but I'll let you go for right now. Hoping one day you'll fly back to me.
Just because, I think you're really worth the wait.

Poems: Gade 12- Present Day
PoetryFrom another guy in the world, to you. Words that aren't spoken, but remain true. I hope you find comfort in my poetry too. A rusted connection to my reality, because honestly. I've lost it.
