A question I did ask her
A simple question it was
Yet she stopped and thought of it
"How DO I describe myself?"
It took her quite some time
To answer my simple question
Yet, so hard to answer
"Describe yourself"
Was what I did say
For quite a person who talks a lot
She was silenced with one question
I guess it just shows it
That even how much we'd tell each other
That we, ourselves, are the only ones
Who knows one's self the most
We still won't be able to describe ourselves in even just one single word.
One. Single. Word..
That we haven't sought our true selves yet
That there are just a lot we do not know..
She's a black beauty
The craziest among the crazy
Joy. She's joy to people's eyes
She's joy to many
I wish she just knew.
And so then she spoke
"I'm...unpredictable"
An answer with no certainty
Hesitation was what I heard
At that moment, I saw her eyes
That was once filled with such light
Then turned dark and teary
A wandering look plastered on her face
She seemed so lost inside
But then she blinked the tears away
Looked up at me and say
"So unpredictable that I never even understood myself."
"So unpredictable that...I don't even know anymore"
She stood from where we were seated
Gave me one last look
Smiled like there were no worries
Smiled like nothing else mattered
"I need to go", was what she said
She turned her back at me and walked away
Her smile showed that she was alright
Aye okay, that's precise
But her eyes was where my attention grew
Her eyes were no more teary yet,
They were telling me another story
Showed me, there is where her demons hide
She was an unpredictable girl
Always misunderstood
Yet stayed loving and jolly
Always bubbly, never showed self-pity
I guess that's what I admired about her
But what my soul get attracted to her
Was what she said to the thousands of people
in front of her self...
"Even if I'm ugly, even if I'm poor.
You will see, the purity of my soul"
And at that moment I thought to myself
'I want to know this girl so much more'
