You don’t know how it feels to have a heart beating so fast with just the simple sight of your back<\/em>
\n Or even just a quick glance at your shoes.<\/em>
\n You don’t know what it’s like to have your pulse throbbing when you walked by and make me stop at my tracks,<\/em>
\n Believe me, you don’t have a single clue.<\/em>
\n Like when the moment you walked in the door of our class,<\/em>
\n You already captured a piece of my heart.<\/em>
\n And the moment you walked out the same door and left,<\/em>
\n You already have it all, completely, its every single part.<\/em>
\n You don’t know how the sound of your name brings a familiar rhythm in my soul,<\/em>
\n And how your mysterious stare could swallow me like it’s as if I’m falling in a black hole.<\/em>
\n You don’t know how your laughter could bring me back to my senses,<\/em>
\n You don’t know how your smile could bind up my shattered and broken pieces.<\/em>
\n The genuine reality of your beauty, is something you cannot fully grasp.<\/em>
\n Because you haven’t really seen yourself aside from looking at mirrors and photographs,<\/em>
\n But believe me that if you do,<\/em>
\n You’d understand why I fell for you.<\/em>
\n You’d understand why I’m doing this,<\/em>
\n Why I’m sacrificing things just so you would notice.<\/em>
\n Notice how you’ve turn my world up side down,<\/em>
\n And how you took me out from being drowned.<\/em>
\n Drowned in the sea of hate I am so ready to plunge myself in.<\/em>
\n But then everything changed when I saw you. And how your heart light up from within.<\/em>
\n It’s so sad that it’s hard for you to love yourself.<\/em>
\n That you cannot feel what I just felt.<\/em>
\n But it’s okay, let me be the one to show that love to you.<\/em>
\n Let me be the one to make you feel the love that is filled with truth.<\/em>
\n Let me be the one to hold you when you feel sad,<\/em>
\n Let me be the one to hug you when you feel mad,<\/em>
\n Let me be the pin, for when you’re about to explode like a grenade,<\/em>
\n Let me be the one who will stay with you when everything else fades.<\/em>
\n Though, I understand if you wouldn’t want me.<\/em>
\n It’s okay if you think that we’re not made for each other perfectly.<\/em>
\n I know it’s hard to find the things you want that I lack,<\/em>
\n And that it’s even harder to force the person to love you back.<\/em>
\n But if you need me, whenever you need me, I’m here.<\/em>
\n I’m just here, waiting for the day you’ll let me hold you dear.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
