Maybe he feels something too
but hides it behind a silent face…
Or maybe his heart’s a wandering one
and I was just another place

I saw forever in his eyes
while he saw a moment to spare…
To me, he was everything bright
to him, I might’ve been just there

don’t know why, but today, after so many days,
the loneliness crept back, a shadow in my heart.
And as I thought, I remembered...
those who once tried to love me, I pushed them away.
It’s always been this way, hasn’t it?
The things I yearned for, they never found me.
Instead, what came were echoes of what I didn’t ask for,
reminding me that sometimes, life gives what you don’t want
while leaving behind what your soul craves.
And here I am, left with pieces of dreams
I never got to hold.

They say enjoy your teen years, take it slow,
But here comes the exam, with nowhere to go.
They want me to live, to laugh, and to play,
But all I can see are deadlines in the way.
I’d rather sleep in and just pass the time,
But instead I’m buried in books, climbing the climb.
They say ‘it’s the best time,’ yet all I can feel
Is the weight of the work and the stress that’s real.
