Remember when I took you to the bus station one afternoon?

We were walking side by side like always

But that time it felt different as passersby seeing us seem to swoon

We were just walking but closer - hope this happens always.

 

We're always together

Not being together makes one wonder

That time, we walked like lovers

The silence between us that awkwardness hovers.

 

That one afternoon changed both of us

I couldn't say anything, but can't make a fuss

We just looked at each other for long, I know it means something

But in the end, we haven't been able to say anything.

 

That one afternoon that changed our lives

Can I hold your hand? - is what I want to ask

At that time though, it was a difficult task

It's like my tongue was stabbed by several knives.

I wanted to hug you before you go

Wanted to stop you when you entered the bus

When you looked at me with those asking eyes is so...

Feeling that I didn't think it would happen to us.

 

That afternoon when it all began

We couldn't say a word but our eyes did the asking

Getting into the bus to be with you longer was the plan

But my loving, longing and nervous heart is what I'm masking.

 

 

So I just stood there with all my might.<
