Him and You...

Ben Gibbard sang "brown eyes I hold you near..."

I look at you...this line replays...

what is it about you that makes me so wordless...

when you make serious conversation i blank out

i know i'm not supposed to blank out...

i listen to your voice dazedly

remain stunned at your witticisms

feel choked at your sensitivity

feel sheepish when i goof up at your queries

derive immense pride at your dreams and achievements

wonder at how so much of maturity and foresight could be packed into such a tiny body...

cannot take my eyes off you when you sing songs to me

cannot help feeling overwhelmed when you single me out...

when thoughts tumble and crash

splinters stab and draw the blood out

it is good...this wound...it is a reminder

we waste time on worthlessnesses...

we waste time on the undeserving

while the deserving ones crave for our attention...

they stand there...right in front of us...

and we look at those who are far away...

uncaring...and non-bothered...

they stand there being everything we dream of...

and we look at those...who are everything...that hurts us...

Do we learn then...??

From all this...
