Im looking for orange again
It used to be a specific shade of orange that reminded me of you
Now any shade of orange will do
And orange is not even a colour a person would usually like
But now i find comfort in it
Because in some sense or way the universe is gifting you to me
I tried to let it cool down
But then again you look at me like you are
Or its my desperate heart twisting it all to console me
My friends are getting tired of listening to me talk about you
I mean its the same story
But then again im never tired of reliving it
Because i get to feel something
And even with my eyes open,
I get to see you at the back of my mind
Im trying to hold you close to me in any way i can
Because my heart really fancies you
But you dont want me so this is the only way
My sister says she cant wait for this phase of my life to finish
And that stopped me in my tracks briefly
Because down the line, i will move on right
I wont think of your eyes on me
I wont think of your smile
I wont think of the moments that were ours
The lines i wrote for you will lose it's shine and fade away
And they will just be words that won't even work on me
It will feel like banging on a door locked tight and sealed away and nobody will hear the knocking
Im scared of how something can mean so much to you one moment
And then seasons change and
Things lose their value and things get replaced
I just didnt want you to be one of them
Thats kinda crazy for me to say when you clearly said you didnt want me
That should be enough to let go
That should be enough to move on from this
Thats wht my friends and family says
But my heart always seemed to latch onto things like an octopus would
Even the things that didn't want me
Im squeezing every last drop of my feelings for you onto paper
Maybe I'll look back at these in fascination when this is over
And I'll wonder how i could have loved and fancied someone so much when they gave me nothing in return
I will be jealous of my own self
Because maybe in the future someone loves me so much that i wont have feel jealous of the girl who tried to climb mountains for bread crumbs
No wonder you couldn't be mine
I obviously dont know how to hold beautiful things in my hands anyway
And I'd rather watch you be beautiful than ever try to have you to myself
I wanted to know if you would want that too
Im sorry i like you too much without even really knowing you
And they are prettier everytime they look at me
Gosh you were the prettiest when it felt like you could be mine
And maybe thats why i write so much
Because you would never be mine
And this is the only consolation
Looking for the perfect phrases
Only to stop right where my awkward confession meets your awkward rejection
'I love you' are words i feel
But words that feel ridiculous when i think of my situation
You dont even WANT to know me
And you said you got a girl, maybe in your mind
Or maybe it was an excuse make me stop
What doesnt give you clarity keeps you running like a hamster on a wheel
Until you choose grace and acceptance
But maybe this is my way of finding it
I cant be brave about this
Im totally unhinged when it comes to you
Sometimes i see you the way the world probably does
And maybe a decent face card
But then everything shifts when i remember how it felt to be under your gaze
I see you all cool and hot
I like you first just for the way you look
And when you finally laid your eyes on me and smiled
Thats when i should have stopped
Instead i took the risk and went all in
But you are not given to me
And that's how it's always been
Just this time i thought it would be different
I dont think the universe is that cruel
I dont even think my karma is that bad
Maybe i will meet someone
Or maybe i will meet you in another body
In a person who will want me and accept me
Maybe this is necessary for a reason beyond my knowledge
And maybe i will see the lesson when this is all over
Until that i will try not to write too much
About the boy im so crazy about
Maybe im trying so hard to hold onto you because thats the only way i get to feel something
