                 WHAT ARE WE?

They say people respond to love, 

Why then do you hurriedly repel mine?

You are open to anything else but the thought of you and i in matching outfits, 

It's okay for us to make out in dark places as long as i don't talk to you about being in love,

It's just fine until the light comes on.

I guess that's the only form of connection we will ever share,


We are two people who like each other's body but want nothing to do with each other's soul,

Soulmates? Nah, that's too much to ask for.

 "It's not you, it's me"

Oh, it is definitely me, blame it on my color blindness cos each time you show me red, I see green

"It's not that deep" 

  I nod in delu delu,

But the truth is, It is deep, 

 The ache has gotten way too deep that i don't think i can hold on to this unreal idea of us,

This delusion that someday you'd realize that i can be more than your bedmate,

   "Just friends"

We are not even friends anymore, 

We ruined that the first time we kissed in your balcony,

 Now we are just…just…
