I've been longing to hold you...
I've been longing to touch you...
I've been longing to kiss you...
and to feel your body next to mine...
but I know it's just a dream because you're a hundred steps away from me...
I don't know where it starts...
I don't know why I fell that fast...
I don't know the reason behind this smile...
all I know is you...just you...no one but you..
I've been holding on to your promises...
so many nights I tried to recall...
those words that I want to hold...until now...
until now...you are still in this heart of mine...
I love you...everyone can tell I do..
but I need to accept the reality that you need to go...
you need to achieve your dream...and that dream is not me...
you said your family needs you more than I do..
I need to stand. I need to go...but my knees are too weak...
I need to accept. I need to step...but every time I step it takes a hundred steps back to you...
I am foolish enough to try...can you please be mine?
I know I am pleading. I know I am begging...
but do you understand how I really feel...
my heart is beating...my heart is bleeding...
please don't go...please stay...
days passed...I know...my heart is aching...
but I know I am very much willing...
whether it's parting or forgetting...
I will let you win...
