we were strangers to each other
destined to meet somewhere
“hello”, I said when I saw you in the corner
“hello”, you gave me as an answer

we became close
you became the person that I want the most
asked Him if you were the one while staring at the cross
hey, we were there, almost

you told me you were sad and blue
I knew it, couldn’t argue
but now that everything’s new
I couldn’t even say “hello” to you

afraid to let you know
the feelings that I couldn't show
scared to know what will follow
"nevermind", I said it's not too deep but shallow

not wanting our friendship to be over
I hope it fades away please faster
going with the flow is the answer
not letting him notice is better

so I decided to hide
these feelings I kept inside
they say "confess", I abide
thoughts inside my head I can't decide

Maybe* it's not you
Maybe there's someone who's worth my time
Maybe we're too busy
Maybe I'm too busy looking at you yet you're busy looking and thinking about her
Maybe I was blinded by the qualities
Maybe I don't like you
Maybe I like you because you're the only one I see
Maybe I focused on you
Maybe I was wrong
Maybe I paid a lot of attention
Maybe if I told you what I feel
Maybe there's something between us
Or maybe there's nothing between us
Maybe I shouldn't be thinking like this
Maybe I'm just stressed about other things
Maybe I thought thinking about the possibilities would make it better
Maybe I only love the idea of you and me
Since it's over. I'm done.

We are the poisoned youth.
Poisoned words, for making someone feel better
Poisoned eyes, for seeing lies but doing nothing
Poisoned ears and mouth, for staying quiet even if we heard something that can make change
Poisoned hands, for doing everything just to be the best even if it's wrong
Poisoned hearts, as we try to love the wrong person and it gives us pain
and poisoned minds, when we believe in lies
Again, we are the *poisoned youth.
Read poisoned youth somewhere and came up with this.

I want to write.
I want to write the things that my mind can't speak
the words that I can't directly say
the feelings that I can't express

I want to sleep.
I want to sleep for the rest of my life
and wake up beside you
with a smile on my face
sleeping sometimes helps

I want to cry.
I want to cry and let my feelings out
instead of me being silent
but deep inside crashing

I want to confess.
I want to confess everything to someone
Confess that I love them and I'm thankful that they've been a part of my life
but things just holds me back to let go
because I'm such a potato
I want to confess how much I like you
that you've been my crush
but pride is eating me
I don't want to look desperate

I want to be alone.
I want to hear the sound of silence.
I want the touch of the air against my skin.
All alone in a room where my mind is wandering
Alone not lonely,
but alone contemplating.

I want to unlove you.**
But how?

This happened to me twice,
Never thought that the phrase "never repeat the same mistake"
would hit me
Hit me so hard that made me think
Why do I keep on doing this?
Even if I know where this would lead
Am I stupid or what?
I thought I loved you
but the mistake is I still am
Still in love with you
Because the group TWICE is so adorable. And it got me squared.

You blew the candle
and darkness starts to fill me
leaving me hopeless
