Whenever I hear your voice,
My heart fluttered around like it's been possessed by a mockingbird,
My eyes well up in strange ways,
And my heartbeat increases with it.
As echoes of your voices fill my head.

Those beautiful lines, I hear them even when there's no song,
It's like I can hear the rhythm, feel your hand placed gently on the piano,
The middle finger and then all that comes with it,
It's a beautiful sight that melts my body and soul.

But now? Why do I feel my heart tear up whenever I hear you sing?
My eyes blink rapidly like I have been stung by a bee,
Maybe it's because of the times we've spent apart not talking,
Or maybe... maybe it is I who had fallen for another,
Left with the guilt of your joyful absence,
Wishing there's a part of me that brought you “that” happiness.

I know... you must have forgotten about me,
Living your life like a star that you are,
Truly, I want that for you, but I just couldn't help wishing I was there with you,
Maybe that's why it hurts,
Knowing I am happy without you around
And seeing you happy without me close to you.
It felt like the world played a video game with my heart, and it won.

I know it is unfair of me to think this way,
But I can't help penning down my pain,
Thinking about the nights we spent together under the shooting stars,
And the joys your laughter brings,
Still, I couldn't help hoping someday, you'd find my notes,
Knowing I never stopped loving you or forgot your thoughtful words to me.
