Can we just pretend we know ourselves

Simply let our hands do the talking

Open our hearts and quieten our minds

Let our eyes explain the longing
----

When I watched you from my balcony

Did you feel my gaze on you

Burning holes on to your already

Steaming back and seductive view
---

I heard your voice joyfully rising

As she made you laugh to tears

Couldn't stop my heart from sinking

As the view disappears

---
To think I could have been there

Laughing by your side

If only I had cared

Instead of gone inside
----

I tell myself one day we'll meet

I'd talk to you and I'd feel seen

But I know that this will just repeat

I'll hover by like nothing had been
---

At least I meet you in my thoughts

Such serene serendipity

I get lost in all the stories and plots

No matter how little of the future I see
