OVERRUN

OVERRUN

By Danica Azares

I first saw you

Wearing that purple shirt.

Listening on your ipod,

Watching people on the street.

I was across that road,

Looking at you,

Like there’s some sort

Of spotlight above your head.

But when your eyes met mine,

Everything has changed.

Speechless.

Hopeless.

I just can’t explain.

Who would have thought

You’ll be sitting next to me.

Then you’ll take my hand,

And say we’re meant to be.

Looking back..

You gave me bitter memories.

You promised me

Love without anxiety.

But where are you now?

That love was gone.

You left me stranded

But you got my heart overrun.

With simple words,

You made me smile.

With a dozen of roses,

You captured me.

When you sang a song,

I was in love.

But there is no guarantee.

That I’ll be happy…

That I’ll be strong…

That I would be able to

Face you headstrong

But I’ll try my best

To smile next time

If it’s truly destiny

There would be a sign

That’s what I thought…

Looking back..

You gave me bitter memories.

You promised me

Love without anxiety.

But where are you now?

That love was gone.

You left me stranded

But you got my heart overrun.

On the middle of letting go,

You grabbed my hand.

Time stopped.

You looked at me.

It was true love,

We’re really meant to be.

You told me:

I’m sorry for giving you bitter memories

I promised you love without anxiety.

I’m still here

This love has never been gone.

I didn’t leave you

‘Coz you got my heart overrun.
