I'll Be Here Waiting

I was only 9 back then, a fat tan girl who have two left feet auditioning for a dance troupe.

And you, an albino guy who knew how to dance watched me dance in stupidity.

You asked for my name from a common friend.

Starting from then, your name has always been attached to mine.

Three years later, all the teasing gave birth to labels.

We started to clear the confusions we've been giving the crowd for a long time.

We'd communicate in every medium available, in every means possible.

It was our conversations I'd skip sleep for.

You've memorized me as if I was a step in the dance you were dancing.

You love numbers and equations and formulas while I like the science behind the stars and galaxy.

We'd both compete in the academe, making our parents proud.

Yes, we were perfect until the day we were destroyed by a choice.

By my choice.

A choice I thought that would make us better, stronger.

I've set my own priorities not including yours, not including you

Im too focused in what I could be, than what we could be.

I've become to ambitious, I forgot how we dreamed those things together.

I had a tight grip of my future that I didn't notice you slipping from my fingertips

I lost you...

I lost us....

I lost a part of me...

No, I lost me.

I went back to same old place you first laid your eyes on me

I didn't expect to see you there, watching me again.

Nervous and shaking, I want to apologize for all the pain I've caused you.

With tears I run towards you, you did the same.

Not to me but to the short haired petite girl behind me.

You were happy, happier I must say.

You hugged her tighter than you held me.

And while you held her so tightly she can't breath, Im slowly loosing my air.

So I kept a distance, I walked away.

So I guess this is our end

But this doesn't mean I'll stop loving you

Maybe I'd be loving you less but to stop is near impossible

Coz you've taken a part of me and I wanted you to keep it.

I'll just be here waiting,

Same old spot couple of years ago.

Still with two left feet

Waiting for you to watch me dance again in stupidity.
