Sakura…
For a long time I've waited
In those years I've never wavered
Not even once my heart faltered
Even though it was shattered
On that faithful night
Without any plight
All you said
Was "thank you" instead
The sight of your back I cannot forget
When you walked ahead with no regret
I asked myself "why should you go?"
My face streaming with tears leaving me so
Hot surge anger first filled me
But was soon replaced by worry easily
With your revenge planned in your mind
No chance of surviving in any kind
Many dull years passed me by
I learned then to aim high
I trained everyday to become stronger
But my love for you I cannot get over
I know I should just live and let go
But my broken heart remained filled with sorrow
At that moment I knew o must decide
Even though my hear is with you, I must go on with life
I was in denial for those past years
Externally happy but inside in tears
Hollow laughter ringing through my ears
Fooling those who are near
Anf then one day you suddenly returned
"Have you got your revenge?" I wondered
I stared into those black orbs I knew so well
My breath got caught for I cannot tell
My love for you was once hidden
Deep beneath my heart that is darkened
When my heart missed a beat and started to leap
I knew my rekindled emotions I have to keep
I started avoiding you
For my broken heart knew
If I was to stare at your eyes
You'll know my hidden desires
Once, I accidentally got drawn in your gaze
It was like going through a maze
Forever confusing for I saw a new emotion
An unusual one, it's like your minds in commotion
I turned and walked away
For I don't know what to say
My troubled mind kept asking
"What were you thinking?"
My heart became confused on what to feel
Your arrival never really seemed real
I am glad, for you are safe and sound
Contentment filled me, seeing you around
But the selfish part of me
Took over my thoughts so easily
I want to be with you, day and night
Never, ever get out of my sight
The infatuation I felt not so long ago
Turned into something deeper, if you must know
Ever day my thoughts stray away
To my memories of you, they stay
For how long I cannot tell
Till my broken heart swell
Watching you from afar
Will have to suit me just for now….
