With everything you do,

you try to absorb all life has to offer.

But while you’re looking all cool,

I struggle to not look like a fool.

With all your hopes, wants, and desires,

I just get lost in the crowd.

I run closer and closer to you

but nothing seems to catch your eye,

as if you’re blind to my absence.

The few days we spent together somehow felt as if it was a fever dream…

something neither of us can wrap our heads around.

Maybe because it was too good to be true.

So silly to think that our souls could have lived in harmony.

That we could have been invincible.

Maybe because we were just too different.

A boy, looking for anything that could satisfy him.

And a girl, looking for something genuine that would make herself feel whole.

Maybe because our hearts yearned for different things.

Yours yearned to discover the world,

while mine didn’t want to discover a world without you in it.
