Ever woke up and felt the urge to see someone, Just to realise you couldn't do that, Instead you succumb to fears, Until the longing fades into nothing...
My gaze hides behind fluttering lashes, My lip trembled yet failed to utter something or anything,
When my hands shook with sheer urge to hold your hand...
Yet I stay uprooted, watching you walk away, What if my gaze find you, yours already set on someone else's...
What if my lip formed those words, whispered like a breath in cold morning, vanished into thin before you noticed...
What if my hand reached out to you, too late, too hesitant, and my hand met the ghost of your touch...
Coward, a voice called,
Maybe... I realised.
