Across the Boundary

by Paper Roses

I once again heard the rhythm of melancholy

As I go back through painful memory

Antiquity it may seem

But still poignant with the torment it brings.

I wish I could turn back the time

To relive the auld lang syne

When you were my haven and my alter ego

When we were best of friends before awkwardness began to swallow

We used to be each other’s comfort

A shoulder to cry on, share crazy stuffs with and some sort

Buoyant countenance could be seen

Every time we're together, back then

Until one day, I met a strange feeling

A forbidden feeling of falling

A friendship wrecker I tried to throttle

But I just found myself fall even deeper

Then I realize my feelings surpass the boundary of friendship

I want to cross the border we have set

And so, I told you how I loved you dearly

That I want you to be with me

And together behold what lies across the boundary

But you turn your back and says you can't

That you can't give the love that I want

Then you evanesce like a bubble

You left me in solitude and suffer

A tale of misery and woe has begun

Lamenting for the days that you were gone

My affection turns into affliction

First love and first heartbreak rode the same station

Reminiscing this agonizing past

My heart still cries of anguish and tear apart

Pleading for you to alleviate this agony

Just come with me, I'm still waiting here, across the boundary.
