A normal day can be significant.
can be the best or the worst.
But in every chance encounter,
I met you... and I wish I hadn't.
You're well aware that I'm an overthinker.
Yet, in every argument, you remained silent.
Left my messages on delivered
Let my mind get tortured.
I forgave and forgot-
just to make you stay.
Ignored the red flags
The things I'd do for love
Yet you wasted my time.
Pretend that things will work fine.
Said I love you's but take it back
Taking a step forward, then 5 steps backward
Keep leading me on
Even you knew you couldn't love back.
You should've said it sooner:
That "us" will not happen.
Now I know why you keep avoiding-
the questions about your real feelings
Because you've been lying all along.
You like me but don't like me enough to date me.
I should've followed my rules;
to confess, then move on.
I shouldn't have listened to you-
to try and pursue you.
An encounter I should've avoided
Coz right now you are jaded
Slowly letting go, kinda drifted.
Already forgot that I existed.
