I Need You (My Excess Baggage)

It all started with silly talks you’ve composed so well. . .

I’ve never known that everything could change until I realized that I already fell.

For some time you have been everything to me.

I’ve gotten so used to you that suddenly, you were all that I could see.

It became so difficult just to turn my thoughts away from you,

And I always find myself watching all the things that you do.

I knew this feeling won’t ever be mutual so I tried to take a few steps back,

But there was always this voice that tells me you were something I lack.

We spent a lot of time together that you even invaded my dreams,

And I can’t simply forget how we always seem to be at the same team. . .

So I decided to dodge regret and took a step forward instead.,

But it must have been the worst mistake I’ve made for the results have almost crushed me until I’m dead. . .

I felt fear consuming me as I watched how my confession almost tore us apart,

Then I was overcome by the truth that I can’t even replace anyone in your heart. . .

I missed how we used to laugh aloud together,

And even if you won’t be listening, I can promise I can wait forever. . .

I bet you won’t be able to imagine my joy that day we started talking again,

But I was glad that you kept your word when you said that everything will remain the same like back then. . .

I can never forget all those days you’ve completed for me,

And even if you’ll always be a bother, I’d be willing to trade anything just to be beside you for eternity.

But things are not as easy as they seem, and all I was hoping for was just one more year with you.

For I do know that after that, you and I will part too. . .
