For Someone I Barely Knew

This will probably be my last letter for you-
I know, this is impossible to reach your line
For someone who's a nature-seeker
You'd probably won't pass by this dull

But then, I wanted to write you an end
Even your role was only a stranger;
My gaze at you was never felt odd
You have unknowingly became my friend

A friend - should be the right term for you
If I couldn't call you 'Lover'
When I barely know who you really are
The silly notes are all that hoped me

You're different from others,
In a way that almost made us alike;
I'm the puppy isolated from the 'outside'
And you're the kitten always in for discovery

But how in the world is that alike?-
Well, beside from the puppy and kitten,
We're both scared of what's underneath
What's beyond the scope of our beliefs

Yet we try to level the fun
Even if in return is our exhaustion
'At least we enjoyed it'
Even if it will take another isolation

Night owls trying hard to be early birds,
Jaded but still tries to fit in-
Tries hard to avoid connections,
Very 'unpeople-persons'

And... that's all I knew about you
'You're different from them'
You're always hidden from the crowd
Always missing in action

Missing in action,
You show up today and hide tomorrow
You'd miss the biggest event
And we've only been connected once

Am I too hopeless?
Easily attached, don't you think?
Did I misunderstood your lines?
Or maybe you unmeant the signals?

Are they for somebody else?
Those hidden hints I tend to connect
The reservation, 'signs', even the music you put
Weren't they meant for me?

I couldn't sleep too well
I was always kept awake at night
Overanalyzing all the cryptic words
Your commitment with something

How foolish was I
To have confidence with you
I don't own any part of you
You don't have nothing for me

After all,
We barely know each other
Only with that one connection we had
That I burned out of wrecklessness

How tragic,
Even if you don't know nothing
About the guy you met months ago
His absence will affect your thinking

Stranger, what kind of curse do you have?
How long will it take to expire?
What magic did you acquire?
I realized that you've locked me in jail

I was handcuffed,
Unable to speak with tapes on,
You disabled my brain with your drugs-
But you're supposed to heal me

You're supposed to be carefree,
Just a caress to my glass heart,
The whispers like Zephyrs'
But you're choking me now

And I hate it why I'm still numb
You poisoned my system
But all I still see is your gentle
Your soft glances on me

How bad could a kind person be
Are you 'too good to be true'?
Or bad showing what you've felt?-
I hated all your subtle response

For someone I barely know,
But felt like I've known for long
Now that I burned our only bridge
Do your part then, burn me
