"WARNING DON'T READ THE FOLLOWING,

TO AVOID FEELINGS AND LOVE AT ALL COST!"

Denial of those emotions,

The things that make you feel...

Does he tickle you well,

From the inside

Where no ones sees?

Your heart swells

Your skin sweats,

Your fingers tingle

Oh and when...

You Hear His Voice

Or see his

Cheek to Cheek Smile,

And how the glitter

In his eyes

Lights up a room,

When he walks in!

But still you deny

You don't admit,

Will not depend

On your emotions

(Never Again)...

It's not a reality

It's not truth!

So you slink away

To the washroom,

And cry silently

Behind

A bathroom door!

How you wonder

Do I turn back

Time...

To the Day BEFORE

We met,

To the day Before

The first time

I saw him?

Did we lock eyes

Dare I even guess?

Oh

How much simpler

It was,

Without any promise

Or hope

Of breaking that singleness

Streak!

It's so much easier

To live without wonder

Of Love,

And having your hopes

Dashed!

(`Oh the melodramatics!`)

The Day BEFORE

We met

YES,

That was Best!

When she got home

Sighing with relief

The party was over,

Turning out the lights

She climbed into bed,

Under her covers

ALONE...

Was her Comfort,

Grabbing her bear

Desperate to Sleep,

She put on her eye mask

Hoping her dreams,

Would Not Reflect

His Gaze!

Her Defiance was sure,

The Day

Must be made...

A Blurr!
