As I walk by you, I make eye contact.
We start talking.

As I'm about to leave, you do something.
Something that shatters my soul, makes me cringe.

You smile.

At first, I'm happy.
But then it clouds over.

Suddenly, I feel different;
Feel thousands of things at once.

Like Pain.

The pain's cold like ice,
But it burns like flame.

I've slipped in a puddle of emotions,
Into a pool of craziness.

For you.

I'm laughing in my mind;
At the same time, Crying.

I want it to end,
But I also want it to swallow me whole.

Forever.

I can't explain it;
Just an extreme wanting.

I don't know what I'm searching for in the end,
But I know what I want for now.

A Chance.

I wish for a single moment where I stop.
Where I stop caring, stop feeling, stop lying.

But regardless of how strong I feel it,
I'm still wonder if you'd feel the same way.

I hide it.

I say goodbye
And continue with my inner turmoil.

I watch you leave,
And I suddenly know what I'm looking for.

You.
