Meeting you
Was both a blessing and a curse
A blessing because finally, I have met you
A curse because you finally met me
How shitty I look in person
How sweat beads on my forehead and nose
How "fluffy" I truly am
How unruly my hair looks
How messy and messed up I am
How uneven my skin tone is
How pale my lips are without lipstick
How darkness seeps from under my eyes
How wrinkled my clothes are
All these, you now know
But for some unfortunate reason,
You have stayed
And laughed, us together
Time passed by unnoticed
Like how sand drains from a hourglass
Like how clouds form and disband
Like a broken clock, fixed so suddenly
That you are simply shocked how much time has passed by
The once busy street of my mind
Now a quiet neighborhood
The once empty void that filled my chest cavity
Now filled with the echoes of a beat
Oh, such wonderful change
You have brought on
My insecurities and worries
Now all forgotten
Tucked away in a chest of memories better left unopened
Replaced by new ones that far exceeds the worth of millions of seconds
New ones so true
Unmasked and feeling vulnerable
A feeling that foreign
And yet, feels so right when I'm with you
The need to pretend, forgotten
The need to manipulate, forgotten
The lies, forgotten
I am now just waiting for the bus to start
Wondering where my journey will take me
Wondering how it would feel if I wasn't alone
Wondering why things have taken such a turn
And waiting...
Waiting for the bus to arrive to our destination
Waiting for someone to accompany me
Waiting for the outcome of this journey
An unpredictable and spontaneous journey where anything can happen
I ask you now, will you come with me?
