I Wish I Could Meet You - Valentine’s Day Special

Valentine’s Day Special

2 Mins Read

Across the way

My eyes locked

A girl staring into the stream as if it’s her only escape

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguFK31NpFa

Her fingers clasped onto the stone

Trying to find way to hold her back

A sign of reluctance?

A sign of guilt?

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8B80VkWjjG

Her hair grazed her skin,

jagged like glass

Splitting the skin

Eyes succumbed to toxins

The stare of strangers

The weight of pain

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tbrCueklE

I watch her from afar

My body itches to move forward

To hold her

To be the hand that holds her back,

Or goes down with her

It’s Valentine’s Day.

Did you know?

The day of love and chocolates and roses

The day you only focus on the ones you love

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGLEwtGPrP

Sometimes there are haters

And sometimes you can love them

Maybe because they’re the only ones there for you to love

I saw a picture once, at a school,

There was a bridge that said, ‘are you sure?’

Many people jump to escape the surface of life

To dive underneath into darkness

The, ‘are you sure?’ is a hopeless way to help

It’s just a writing on the wall

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsL6uDvHSLO

I don’t want to be a writing on a wall

I want to go and help her

Can I?

Should I?

Should I let her story fold out how she wants?

Or is this not what she wants?

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhNkATaPTn

What to do

I stand up without thinking

I advance till my hand overlaps hers

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSisfu1XLG

Her eyes lock into mine

I feel her imaginary arms holding onto me

Clutching to my body

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZs2FCfNre

It’s Valentine’s Day.

Did you know?

The day she could’ve been home with someone she loves

But she’s here with me

Holding on to me figuratively

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuV6wxQh5N

I hold her against me

A hold of hope

I watch as a man approach,

he slips a rose between my fingers

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1K2E1FPn1

Her eyes drifted up

The pieces of glass that were once shattered are together once more

I slip the flower into her hand

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvUA6t12bi

This, ‘are you sure?’ Coming to play

Will she change her mind?

Will I go with her or stay with her?

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqMX12zeB0

It’s Valentine’s Day.

We love and we cherish

We hold each other for a day,

Hoping that we can stay like this forever

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY14MhFA6Rq

That day was Valentine’s Day

Even if it wasn’t official

It was ours

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjW5eBptjh

The day we met,

The day I saved her

And perhaps,

The day she saved me
