Do you remember that day when we were kids, I fell off my bike, you held my hands, picked me up and I felt myself fly high above the lands.
My friends, they tell me you're just a time waster, my parents, they tell me to find myself new hobbies to obsess over but none of them know you're the only bittersweet desire of mine.
And all the times I tried to get close to you,
The tears, the cries, my head on your shoulder when I was blue,
And all the times I tried to laugh with you,
The jokes, the puns, my hand falling on your thighs, glued onto you,
did it ever occur to you that all my awkward attempts are more than platonic needs?
I remember that day we started high school together, I looked into your inviting eyes, told you I was scared and horrified and it was your perfect smile that got me through the day.
Strangers, they say a lot of things about you, my heart, she says its not ready to break in two but none of them know I wouldn't mind being torn up under you.
And all the times I tried to go out with you,
Suggesting places, wanting eternal happiness with you.
And all the times I cried myself to sleep,
My bed empty without you, a foolish soul lacking another half.
Did it not occur to you, you're all I want even if I'm left bruised and battered trying with you.
