#unsynchronized

opposites attract

On days where I'm incapable of giving,

Even when you'd need me the most,

Would you still be my friend?

Would you still stay?

Irrespective of how frustrated you are,

How life has been treating both of us,

Would you not get tired of me,

Even after a breath of fresh air,

Would you come back to me?

When we'd get tired of things,

Tired of each other,

Start putting up a wall around ourselves,

Close up our hearts,

Protect ourselves from each other,

Would you still hold on,

Talk to me and stay by my side,

Because it's worth it?

With the changing pace,

With impatience building in our heads,

Would you escape from the world with me?

Would you escape the reality with me?

Be comforted by silence?

On days when our words won't be enough,

On days when we'd be insolable,

When we won't have solutions,

Would you just hug me once?

Would you still just be with me?

Tell me shitty jokes,

Goof around or just hold me close,

Till my sorrows loosen their hold on me?

Would you still stay?

I waited,

Even if the circumstances weren't favourable,

Even when I knew we wouldn't meet,

Even on days you didn't want to listen,

On days I wasn't ready to share,

I waited,

I'm not sure why I did,

What I hoped or expected out of it,

But I always did,

I waited,

When people caught your attention,

When they needed you around,

On days when you wanted to be around them,

It hurt a lot but I couldn't help as,

I waited,

It was never going to work out in my favour,

Never did I wish for it to,

But somehow I always did,

I waited,

For your one word or call,

Your one smile or look,

On days you were angry or sad,

Brimming with energy or mad,

I waited,

Because I was selfish in my endeavors,

As I laid helpless under my instincts that wanted it all,

It was tough but I did it all,

Want you in my life, want you around me,

Your happiness has become unknowingly precious to me,

When you are mad or upset,

Entirety of my being rushes to calm you down,

To bring you out of that head space,

My love for you tests me in different ways,

Knowing it'll always be friendship and nothing more,

Knowing the consequences of falling for you deeper,

Am on mission of bringing myself out of it unscathed,

My heart grows fonder every time you speak,

We're so different, it's impossible for us to work out,

Your tastes are so different, it's impossible for you to adjust to mine, and mine to yours,

Yet my heart craves for you and your proximity like no other,

I wonder why, I keep wondering why,

I know the reason, I know the answer,

To why my love for you has grown so strong,

I just wonder how I can bring myself out of this unscathed,

Your presence lights up everything within me,

Am scared of what everyone says,

Am scared of believing it, or denying it,

Presumption is a bitch,

Yet keep solely processing and functioning on that,

Want you close, want you around,

Would you leave the day I ask you to stay?

Because it's impossible for me to bring myself out of this unscathed

Tiny sparks, healthy light,

Take me with you away from scattered hopes,

Shattered dreams,

Pretty flowers, open fields,

Take me with you away from broken reality,

Meaningless existence,

Mute tunes, broken rhythm,

Take me with you away from vicious loops,

Mindless chatter

Unscented candles, crushed petals,

Take me with you away from exquisite perfumes,

Reeking drinks,

Shards of glass, raw wounds,

Take me with you away from substance abuse,

Hurtful words

Purple lights, shimmering moon glade,

Take me with you away from this lost feeling,

Relentless expectations,

Strong words, borrowed courage,

Take me with you away from uncomfortable touches,

Unwanted attention

Happy smiles, caring touch,

Take me with you away from crooked world,

Sweet affection came to me,

Swamp of butterflies danced in my stomach,

Their sweet memories played in my head,

Huge grin plastered on my face,

Giggles irupted my throat,

Warmth settled on my bones,

I welcomed it all,

Pushed away the inhibitions,

Explored the emotions,

As goosebumps erupted on my skin,

Asked the blubbering mess to stay a bit longer,

For my smile to stretch wider,

For the heartbeats to keep racing,

For the happy buzz to stay in my head,

For the spring in my steps to not be lost,

For the affection in my heart to not get shrunken,

It all seems so shallow,

It all feels so shallow,

My love for others,

My excuses,

My understanding,

My life and dreams,

It all seems so shallow,

It all feels so shallow,

My solutions,

My fake optimism,

My plans and struggles,

My reasons and hurt,

It all seems so shallow,

It all feels so shallow,

My pride,

My pain,

My gigantic ego,

My overthinking that drives me insane,

It all seems so shallow,

It all feels so shallow,

My behaviour,

My kindness,

My smiles and regrets,

Firm and strong,

A mountain stands before the ocean

Tall and proud,

Unafraid of the vastness and depth of the ocean,

Humble and grounded,

Despite closer to the sky it stands before the ocean,

Accomodating and adaptable,

Letting itself get carved by the waves of the ocean,

Yet grandiose and colossal,
