The first time that I saw you
A fleeting glance amidst the crowded hallway
You snatched away my breath
And ignited a fire in my veins
I blinked unwillingly
For I didn't want you to disappear
But my fate was unruly
So, I had no choice but to adhere
When I reopened my eyes
You still were there
I was surprised
Still reeling in fear
Is it reality or a fantasy?
Woven out of my insatiable desire?
Oh dear, I look forward to
Falling in love with a lie
We were perfect for each other
Our love similar to that of fairy tales
But forgive me as I still sat unconvinced
Can I truly have all this?
Doubts always traversed my mind
Leaving no place untouched
They burned in me a cruel desire
To run before I was shattered
But
How could I?
When being in your arms felt like home to my lost soul
When seeing you smile felt like a rainbow to my rainy storms
When being touched by you felt like salvation to my tortured bones
When being loved by you felt like I couldn't think of dying anymore
So how can I run away
When I have only started to walk towards you
How can I abandon
When all I've ever known is you
Do not be afraid after hearing me confess
I am telling you this to get it off my chest
There wouldn't be a moment when I'll love you even a little less
While I'll keep fighting these thoughts in my head
Cause my love for you is like my breath
The day I stop loving...
Will be the day when I finally left
This world and all its magic
With nothing but my love for you in my hands.
