did you know the lengthy roads i had to took to cross that bridge? what divided our ocean was the flimsiest screen of knowing and not knowing. did you know that my heart swells for your ever slightest movement? what divided our ocean was the flimsiest screen of knowing and not knowing. did you know the amount of pacing i had to do to hold myself back from reaching out to you? what divided our ocean was the flimsiest screen of knowing and not knowing.

i wasn't born a sophist, you know. i know better than to drenched myself in the duality of truth and falsity. to exist as a double edged blade, willing to cut anything that goes in my path of knowing you. twisting and turning, grappling with morals and socially acceptable values. but then again, this is not an Athenian democracy. it's a pining for love. who can blame a young heart to be so unwise in her admission when it comes to la cor amoris?

when it comes to you, i know my desperation and my recklessness. i know my foolishness and recognize my delusion. i believed they were necessary. but beliefs cannot constitute knowledge, so where do i take these? where do i put these down? oh, i do want to put you down. you were the heaviest, and yet most pleasant, weight i had to put on my shoulder. nothing could ever compare. but i am putting you down. what divided our ocean was the flimsiest screen of knowing and not knowing. an unbreachable barrier, unless you were there to welcome me on the other side. 

and you weren't. so i'm putting you down.
