Keep your enemies close,
but your friends closer.
Because when the enemy attacks,
it’s your friends whom you will need.
The usual saying, but a bit different...

What if I hadn't answered that
  Wrong number.
Heard your voice calling on
   The other end.  
Two people a worlds apart,
     But a once in a life time
        

                                 Error.


I said wrong number,
   But my heart was wrapped
Around your voice that captured
In the moment between me


   Putting the phone down

                                  and redialing my destiny.


I paused and I said,
     "Hi,


  Awkward silences lasts a lifetime,

Till you answered me,
                   "I said I heard you on the other end
and I just wanted to
    know who's voice could capture me

with so few words..

She said my name is,
        and I said my name was,
  we giggled and I wondered how far


could a destiny have called from.


And we realised that even though
our voices had connected

that we were just five floors apart
        for us to for so long ourselves
five years never meeting eyes,
            voices, not even a glance.

But I'd now found you,
       we rushed from our doorways,

down the stairways..


We reached the floors we were meant to
        reach, but you weren't there,
I wasn't with within your reach.

We stared out the opposite windows,
and found we were further apart than
we'd thought I saw you, seeing me.
            Waving at each other.

We didn't run we walked,
          down each flight of stairs.

Waiting so long for each other we walked
miles in tandem till we reached the
                                                            sidewalk.

What are the odds to meet this near
  on a crossing of life.
We waited a moment till red turned green.
That was our moment
                             to collapse in to each other,

and it seemed like we kissed for our last two lifetimes.

Always by your slumbering form
Your sorrow and sheets
Presence itself is a miraculous gift
Next to your body I am complete

Her darkness sunk beneath my skin,
took my eyelids and kissed them.
Told my heart in shaky whispers that it was to black,
time to open up the gates, but I.
Keep the gates closed.
Keep the gates closed.
Keep the gates closed.
instant heart break

Day by day I think about this..
Maybe I can accept this..

Maybe..
I just need close my eyes..
Let happens will be happened..

Maybe..
I just need close my eyes..
Feel what it needs to be done..

Maybe..
I just need close my eyes..
Let the time comes up..

Maybe..
I just need close my eyes..
Because you never come..

Maybe..
I just need close my eyes..
Let happens will happened..

Maybe..
I just need close my eyes..
Feel that sensation..

Maybe..
I just need close my eyes..
Because you didn't care..

Maybe..
I just need close my eyes..
Let happens will happened..
I just need close my eyes and feel it

A change might be around the corner
That is why I keep holding on
What if the joy hidden from me
Touches my world instant I'm gone?

The second after I take my life
Might be exact second it changed
My blank cold eyes would never see
Beautiful prophecy arranged

I have to hug hope so close
Better days are soon to come
Until they arrive I must remember
A ****** life is better than none
Hold
On
Pain
Ends

all my greatest hurt reminds me of you
you ask me how I’m doing and I try not to spill my heart out in the front seat of your car
because then you wouldn’t want to see me again
and I’ve missed you for so many nights
you feel so close until you aren’t
and I always seem to find myself reaching for your ghosts around this time of day
you’re the only person I could miss while you’re sitting right across from me
