The words I never said

How the sun shined on your face
on the most beautiful face in this world
framed by the longest eye lashes i've seen
when your tall frame shadowed mine
all the veins and muscles in your pale arms
but yet, how i felt safe at the same time.


The hours we'll spend talking
Each day was exciting as we learnt more about each other
And we'll sneak out of class just to have a few words
The air of danger
of getting caught together,
the risk made it all the more exciting
How that staircase became a place of memories for us


Funny how time flies when you're awestruck
when two hearts connect
how everything seems so crystal clear with the right person around
how the hardest physics formulas plant themselves in my head
with just a whisper from you
how i'll stay wide awake in the most boring of classes
just to turn around to look at you
how we'll just eat hawker food
And you'll exclaim its our best meal ever
how we'll sit together at the piano
and anything you play seemed like a miracle


That electrifying tingle when we brushed hands
how that innocent handshake
had me awake for hours
how that casual high 5
made my heart beat faster
I'll always remember the first time
We leaned closer
How I could hear your breaths
I could have stayed there forever feeling your warmth




How even the most horrible of songs
sounded like a peaceful melody when you shared it
How I would play them over and over again
just because they'll remind me of you
And when I got a phonecall for you
I would drop everything, just to hear your voice
How I would close my eyes and stop breathing
Just so I could hear your voice louder and clearer
Hear your laughs ever more distinctively
How I would refuse to put down the phone
Just so I could have a few more moments with you


And remember how i used to always be sleepy?
Truth is, I was always wide awake,
it was just the sweetness in the air that made me drowsy with happiness
And how you would offer your shoulder
And I'll place my head on it, I could have stayed there forever.


How I'll always worry
That you weren't feeling the same way as I was,
that you were uncomfortable, or wasnt as happy
But then, I'll always remember how at the same exact moment
We both gave that sign of satisfaction
And with that, a wave of reassurance.
It'll always amaze me.


And a million other amazing things
that blew my mind away
can't write it all here, or I may just break down.
They threw me off course, a perfect fantasy.
To date, everything you've given me is still with me..
even if it was just a random note, or the presents, flower, cards. Everything.


Times have changed
I no longer take physics
I go to college in a big, grand but unfamiliar campus
And when the sun shines, its just too hot
the lessons are too boring, I fall asleep in all of them
How there are flaws in everyone, can't help but see them
I can't get the intensity right anymore
Nothing feels right
Sure, I can always fool myself,
But I know I'll never have the same sincerity again


Time flies, people change,
I'm sorry for all the sadness
That look of sadness on your face
Nearly broke me, filled me with guilt
I'm sorry I was so superficial, I really hated myself
I couldn't face you for months afterwards
How not going to NJC seemed like the natural thing to do
Till now, its so awkward talking to you...
But the memories, they'll stay. Forever.
