You
by Jonathan Lim

Did it all slip through my fingers some time ago,
when I wanted to put everything on hold?
It could have been simply nothing at all,
but I’ll never know what’s behind this wall.

I guess I’m just going outside my head,
pretending not, what I am instead.
Here I am, not knowing what to do,
would you know the one I’m thinking of is you?

Sometimes we rush into emotions too fast,
but there’s one question I just can’t get past.
Is love just another meaningless game?
Of broken pieces, of broken hearts of the same.

I’m too afraid to ask for a second chance,
too afraid to find out what your heart really wants.
Maybe I’ve just been too afraid all this while,
to see you looking back at me with your smile.

Would you know this poem was written for you?
Would you even know what I’m going through?
Would you know I’m waiting on a line?
Waiting for you, just a moment in time.
