Not your cliché

It wasn't love at first sight
nor love at first fight
it wasn't anything above all those first times
like hitting bullseye at first try.

I do not believe in such cliché 
nor believing the ordinary high school romances
or anything I hear my classmates talk about usually.

I believe in connection
the bond we forged together
and me getting too comfortable
letting you climb through my walls.

I always believe in the depth of feelings,
the warmth of home, the serenity of solace.

It must have been all of that,
those things made me fixed my mind
that I wanted you by my side
through hellfire and ice.

And maybe it was because of those fixated thoughts
made it harder for me to let go
of the love that I treasured.
