Another World [Tao ff]

Another World

Another World (Huang Zi Tao fanfic)

People like to talk
But I can't understand a word they throw to us to the worlfs
But I can't say I'm stronger now my back against the wall
I'm drifting door to door
No I can't rest

They are talking about you and him again but it doesn't seem like you even care about them. They're talking about how good you look together. You seem to fit each other well. You're very pretty, an angel I must say, and he's also one of the popular guys here. What can I do? How am I supposed to forget what you said, to forget you, if you and him are always in the gossips of the other students? I can't help but sigh and keep myself leaned against the wall as I watch the two of you walk and talk and laugh with each other while hearing other people's opinion on how good you are together. Damn. I don't even want to listen to them but can I help it?

We just lay away
You told me now, is it you want me
Stupid mistake
'Cause I can't get you off my mind
I'm drifting day to day
I just stay awake, no I can't sleep

I still remember what you told me a few years back. You frankly confessed that you liked me. I always see the image of you with a nervous look when you confessed. You were so cute, how am I supposed to forget that look? It lingered in my head just like how your smiling face did. What did you do to me? I immediately fell for you the minute I saw you smile. Why didn't you know that?

I close my eyes
And you are here
With me tonight

Remembering your smile, remembering those times that we spent together, going to the arcade, the trip we had with our circle of friends and the last time we did stargazing like this. We used to stare across the sky full of stars, together, but now I'm alone. How can I stop the bittersweet smile that appears across my lips?

In another world lord I know I know that
You would be my girl
And nothing would tear us apart
Another universe the stars would light the way for just the two of us
Two of us
And nothing would tear us apart
In another world
Just the two of us

The next time I would be born again, how great would it be we can finally be together? No hindrance. We can be happy without hurting anyone. Unlike what could have happened.

Special place and time
I put it in the bottle like back there in my mind
I'm up above the clouds that like to
Crashing back to earth
'Cause I know this can't work
It's when it hurts

"Hey, Tao!" How can you wave at me like that? Smile like that?
"Yo. Dude." He can smile at me. The two of you are my best friends. When you told me you like me, I should not have thought of it as the other way around. My ears just listened to the words I love to hear. I should have listened and take to heart when you explained to me why.

'Well, uhm. You look scary and cold and distant but every time I see you with your friends I can see that you're different than the person I thought and I'd really like you to be my friend. " my imagination went overboard. Thinking that you meant of being more than just a friend. Now, look where it took me. At the edge of a cliff. Slowly falling and I can't stop myself.

"Hey." I never really thought I can muster a response. I didn't think I can smile back. Maybe it's because you're in front of me? And you're smiling widely? My eyes drifted to your and his hands that's intertwined. I've always seen you together but you never held each others hands. I guess, I really need to stop this. Keep this feeling bottled at the bottom of my heart. Forgotten by my mind and heart. If I won't do so, I'll get hurt, right?

I close my eyes
And you are here
With me tonight, tonight
In another world lord I know I know that
You would be my girl
And nothing would tear us apart
Another universe the stars would light the way for just the two of us
And nothing would tear us apart
In another world
Just the two of us
And nothing would tear us apart

You guys were about to say something. Maybe you're going to tell me that you're officially dating?
Just the thought made me felt like my world is slowly breaking, what if I finally hear it from you? My world would have probably crumbled right at that moment. I just had to escape.
"Okay. Let's hang out sometimes Tao," Kris, you're like my brother and I know you're damn happy. I can't ruin that, right?
"Yea. You haven't been around for a while. Is there something wrong?" You noticed. I smiled again. I would have looked like a chaperone if I go with you.
"Nothing." I lied. I've been lying a lot lately because of this question.

I just close my eyes
And you're here with me tonight
And nothing would tear us apart
I just close me eyes
Can't get you off my mind
And nothing will tear us apart
In another world the stars would light the way for just the two of us
And nothing would tear us apart

Maybe. Just maybe. There's another world where I'm happy with you. As my eyes close every time I blink, I think I can imagine the other world. A scenery of us together in every blink. In every second my eyes close, eyes full joy and faces with a wide grin plastered. In another world. Nothing can tear us apart.

"I'll see you around." I quickly left after that. Trying to walk with a straight face as I passed through the students. "I heard they're official!" "Really?!" "I'm happy for them!" "Tao haven't been around their group for a while tho." "Maybe he knows his bestfriend liked her since then so he let them have time together!" "He's such a great friend!" "Ah! Congrats to the new couple!" I don't really get what's their real topic is. I don't really understand what they're talking about.

People like to talk
But I can't understand a word
They throw to us to the worlfs

I'm too busy making a straight face as I passed through the crowd that's talking about you, I'm too busy leaving this heartache. I'll just go to another world. To my other world where nothing could tear us apart.

Done! It's short isn't it? Haha! Sorry. I intended to. I did my best! I finished it within 2 and half hours! That's why there's a lot of typos and grammar errors. Will edit if I have time. Thank you for taking time to read this. :)
