I can hear you but I won't
How dare he? We hadn't spoken to each other since Highschool and now he thought that he could just come back into my life?!
Some look for trouble while others don't
I thought that I had made it clear, that I didn't want to have anything to do with him. I had left that part of my life behind me and he would have to respect that.
There's a thousand reasons I should go about my day
And ignore your whispers which I wish would go away,
On my way home, I couldn't shake away the thoughts about what he said to me. There were a thousand reasons why I should just ignore him and go about my day, but somehow the thoughts just didn't leave me alone.
You're not a voice
You're just a ringing in my ear
His words still rang in my ear when I reached my home. I proceeded to just ignore it and not pay any attention to it. The audacity he had to come to my work place and say that to me. No. I would not think about this any longer, this was outrageous.
And if I heard you, which I don't
I'm spoken for I fear
I've had my share of adventures, when I was younger. It was time to grow up and realize, that the world just didn't work like that. I was ready to take the path my parents had made for me.
Everyone I've ever loved is here within these walls
I'm sorry, secret siren, but I'm blocking out your calls
Here I had friends, people I cared about and people that cared about me. I wasn't ready to throw all that away for someone I barely knew.
I've heard the whispers. Stay away from him. He will corrupt you. He is nothing but trouble.
And when I was young I didn't care about that, I admired him for being so careless and always knowing what he wanted. But now I would have to just block him out and go on in my own life.
I've had my adventure, I don't need something new
I'm afraid of what I'm risking if I follow you
" Aren't you sick of people telling you what to do?"
" I can risk it."
"Some things are worth the risk."
"... I'm sorry, but I have to ask you to leave"
Into the unknown
Into the unknown
Into the unknown
What do you want? 'Cause you've been keeping me awake
Are you here to distract me so I make a big mistake?
I laid in my bed and tried to sleep, but my mind was running and I couldn't seem to get my eyes closed. When it became clear that I wouldn't get any sleep this night, I decided to get my laptop and get some work done. My company was on the brink of an breakthrough. I had worked for years to get to this point.
Or are you someone out there who's a little bit like me?
Who knows deep down I'm not where I'm meant to be?
He had told me once when we were young that his parents had his entire life planned. But instead of accepting it like I did, he chose to make his own decisions, to the disappointment of his parents.
The more I thought about it the clearer I saw that a comfortable future where my every move was planned wasn't what I wanted. My vision got blurry and I couldn't seem to focus on my laptop screen. I sighed and closed it, since I knew that I wouldn't get any work done now. I closed my eyes and let my thoughts wander.
Every day's a little harder as I feel my power grow
Don't you know there's part of me that longs to go...
I think that the hardest part of this is, that even though I wasn't passionate about my work, I had gotten so far with it and it would be a shame to let it all go to waste.
Then I thought about my assistant. She had always seemed so excited about the company and would come even when she was sick (Naturally I sent her home on those days). She loved it there and I think that she could really give back a lot, since she has a lot of great ideas.
I was really considering it. Maybe there really was a part of me that longed to go with him.
Into the unknown?
Into the unknown
Into the unknown
Are you out there?
Do you know me?
Can you feel me?
Can you show me?
I knew that there was only one way to determine if this was the right thing for me to do.
That's why I sent in my resignation at the end of the week. Immediately it felt, like a huge weight had lifted of my shoulders. I had informed my coworkers and my assistant that I would resign and they all took it pretty well.
Of course they were sad that I had would be leaving, since we had become quite close, but it was obvious for many, that I didn't really enjoy working there. I was surprised, since I normally was quite good at hiding my feelings.
Where are you going?
Don't leave me alone
How do I follow you
Into the unknown?
" It seems like you have reconsidered my offer", I heard Izayas voice from behind me.
I turned around and grinned at him. "What a joy it must be for you to be right even once in your life when it comes to me."
" I think I'm pretty good at reading you."
" Oh really? It seems like I have to stick around and decide the correctness of this statement."
"Yes, it seems like you should", he said while smiling at me.
