xviii.

(who are you by 5H)

once you two had taken a break

from the events you took part in,

you returned.

but no doubt about it,

the night before,

your voice

took me

to another world.

a world

of peace and serenity.

a world

free of pain and misery.

your voice

was

m a g i c .

you took

my breath away.

you looked dazzling

on stage.

your eyes closed,

as the lyrics

and

your soulful voice

carried me away

to this world.

i wish you could've seen it.

the effect you had on others.

we sat there in awe and silence,

surprised

that your performance with him had ended.

frankly,

i was, too.

my heart

thumped against my chest,

much like

the day we first met.

you gave us

a glowing smile in thanks,

walking off stage,

gracefully,

like an angel.

if only you knew, daisy.

but if you did,

it would

r u i n

what you and i have right now.

and i don't want that,

daisy.

you mean

too much

to me

for you

to know.
