there are loads of barrier who tried to stop me from loving you. despite our situation, i ran and ran to the unknown, hoping i will get to see you again, to hear your laughter that's like a sweet melody for my ears, and to intertwine our fingers, both of our hands feeling that warmth again, even for the last time.
i have always been waiting for you to come home. my beloved angel, i am hopelessly all alone, i keep hoping that one day you will come and hold me so close, again like before.
there's so many words unsaid and will remain unspoken for you're no longer with me, my love. i was confused, i let confusion eat me. i let you walk away from me. i let your grip on my hand slowly loosen.
you are my favorite comfort; the solace whenever i am anxious. with every escape i make, i slip, towards you. but I'm not what you need, i run from you and hide. It's weird that you're my only rest, and i am the trouble of your silence. but in sleepless nights that i denied every facts that hurts me, with my tears flowing like an endless sea; i hope you will remember that i need your presence with me.
i realized everything at the wrong time.
i love you, is it too late?
