There was a time when I asked you
To forget about everything
To take a step back
And go back to the beginning
When happiness was at an arm's reach
When we played with game consoles
Instead of each other's hearts
When we read stories where promises got broken
When we were only scared of watching horror movies
Instead of losing each other's warmth
When "goodbye" meant "see you later"
And when "I love you" meant "I'll never leave you"
Before, we stood at the bottom
With our feet planted firmly on the ground
And there was no pain
No chance of getting hurt
We were happy
But we climbed higher and higher
Then there was the risk of falling
We played so many games
Asked too many questions
We laughed too much
Cared too much
We were too much
We used to play this game of hide-and-seek
Where I hid behind all of my written works
And you seek what I want to tell you most
We loved playing truth or dare
Where I dared you to tell me how you feel
And you lied about the truth
We used to thread carefully in this landmine
A game without saved points and backups
No health potion to get healed
No elixir to bring back the dead
And there was a thin line between love and friendship
Once you cross that, there is no going back
And we knew that
But we were blinded
with greed,
hope,
and something stupid
We held hands
and closed our eyes
Together, we took the risk
and jumped
