Ink Blot

You can dream every night about him and wish that you were his.
You can build your castles in air and pray like a saint for his kiss.
You can publish your own novelette of a love that would stand the test of time.
And you can write your names; together as one, side by side in a line.

You can imagine your both hands wrapped up with his in a tight knot.
Or you can rest your head on the illusions you’ve made up.
You can close your wishful eyes and think he’s beside you.
You can gather the shooting stars to make all your dreams true.

You can have him. Well, that’s if he wants to be yours.
You can stay and wait like his dog every evening by his locked doors.
You can call yourself the princess. (Though you look better as the frog.)
You can hope against hope that he’d see past through the smog.

You can dream, of course. Everyone can.
But fantasies, you’ve forgotten, are meant to end.
It’s time to wake up dear and continue going on.
So please, could you now stop singing our song?

drop that frowning
screw that sulking
what's stopping you from smiling?
I'm here to keep you glowing

wipe your eyes of those tears
shoo away your intimate fears
scream it all out, I'll be near
I'm here to swear I won't disappear

'cause we can make everything right
can bring colors to the darkest night
can spread our wings and take flight
can spin dreams with our fingers entwined
can slide our ways through every rainbow
can conquer the heavens and the earth below
can banish the monster off our shadows
can paint the earth and leave it in awe

we gotta do it together
believe in our power
I'm here for US

no need to look back now
celebrate; I'll show you how
we'll weather the storm, that's a vow
I'm here and I'll always be around

spill out your secrets
be not afraid, don't you hesitate
trust me 'cause you wont have to hide it
I'm here to be the one you wanna be with

'cause we fit in just so easily
like beautiful notes to a sweet melody
like carefully-thought rhymes to a poetry
like rose buds that fill the air with beauty
can shine like stars because we glitter
can paint the horizons in perfect color
can amaze the universe like we're blockbusters
can make them jealous of the way we're together

no way we can't make it forever
our future's tinted gold and silver
I'm here for Us

don't go looking too far
I'm just a call away
erase the blues out your radar
I'm here to stay


I'm here for us
take my hand now
I love you much
we'll make it through somehow

I could have not moved on
That afternoon we drifted apart
When tears flooded our pillows
And wipes littered our bedroom floors
The load was much too heavy
I could have burst out
Like an A-bomb, like supernova
(But anyway, I didn’t)
I held on to our memories
To our photographs and letters
Whose edges cut me open
I let the walls of my room
Embrace the scent you’ve left it
I wanted to feel you still
Because I could have not moved on

I tried to move on
That night you told me you already did
I cried, my pillows won’t take it any longer
And my waste bin choked out the wipes I threw
The load felt like a ton
I could have withered instantly like weed
Like a rag doll, like sand tossed in the wind
(But, anyway, I still didn’t)
I tried to endure holding on
To those damn painful mementos
That bore into me like poison, like hydrochloric acid
Whose sting got me burnt
I let the fire muffle the shouts
Get suffocated by the flames and smoke
I wanted to feel my heart
So I tried to move on

I can not move on
Each morning I long for you
I miss how we slept in one pillow
How we tidied up our floors
The loads of sweets we had
I could have hugged you real hard
Like dear teddy, like a lost lover
(But, anyway, you weren’t here)
The thoughts of us keep me hanging
The strings are still left attached
Whose length spans the years we’ve shared
I let you out, now I want you back
Rushing forth to follow your vanishing trail
I wanted my life again
My love, I could not move on.

"I'll call you in the morning," you say
Three days has gone and my phone won't ring
Must've been the signal waves, or a network glitch

You tell me you'd be beeping me soon
But eight hours, twenty minutes; not a text at all
Might be busy, might be out somewhere

"We'll be together, not far too soon now."
I've been waiting for months now, and it's not funny
Perhaps a prank, one of those little jokes you have

Everytime, I tell you, "I'll wait."
Though I know you don't take it seriously
But you'll be back, I know you'll be back

And when you do,
You'd see...

I have been waiting for you.
