Five years ago, Jordan* met Laura at Orchestra. They were friends but lost contact when Laura went away for three years. But as fate has it, they were united once again at Orchestra practice three years later. They started spending time together, and soon, Jordan developed a crush on Laura. She knew, and accepted it, and soon their friendship blossomed into a “relationship”.
[The Trouble with Love is..]
The Trouble with love is…
The peace and tranquility,
I lived in a world of bliss,
We came together,
The sun smiled on us,
The moon showered us with benevolence,
We lived carefree in a world without regret,
Looking to the future and its challenges,
Friendship and companionship,
We talked, laughed, had fun together,
It was like heaven on earth,
You were my joy, my pride, my only,
When you were in
I was deceived, I made a mistake,
Said the wrong thing,
For that I am sorry,
I wished to change what I said,
I believed our love would pull through,
Yet, we drifted, buffeted by the winds of emotion,
It’s clear now we were not meant for each other,
Although we would have been great together,
I’m letting go…
Jordan introduced Laura to his friend Jason, who was deeply attracted to Laura too. The trio started hanging out together and when Laura invited Jordan to movies and stuff, Jason would tag along. Now Jason is a close friend of Jordan, and he does not know of his relationship with Laura, so he started making advances towards her, confessing his love and affections. On the other hand, when Jason asked Laura relationship questions, she dodges it and says that she doesn’t know, making Jordan think that maybe she’s too polite to say no. When Laura is out with Jordan alone, she would act like his girlfriend and would accept his hugs and stuff, yet she ironically told him that she sees him as a good friend. However, she also explains that she does not like Jason and is waiting for him to get bored, because they weren’t compatible at all. But sometimes when Jordan asked her out alone, and at the same time Jason asked her out, she would go with Jason instead. Yet she said she wanted to go to the school ball with Jordan.
[Time]
The river of time flows,
Deep, strong and fast,
Engulfing all in its encompassing eternity,
The best healer,
It washes away the good and the bad,
We met ever so long ago,
Streams of time flowing,
I felt like it would never end,
But here we are now,
There is no turning back,
We were so young and carefree,
All the good times together,
Where is your heart?
It all changed so quickly,
From friends to lovers to what?
Now I sit on the fence and watch,
Only time will tell,
It’s all encompassing streams surround as all,
Only time will tell
What the future holds for us
I hate myself for losing you,
Yet could it have ended differently?
I dream of a time where it was all different,
Could it, should it, would it have worked?
We’ll never know it’s all in the past now.
And she did. She spent the first half of it with Jordan, dancing and stuff. But ran away with Jason during the second half. And they were found making out, by Jordan and many others. Jordan thought she enjoyed it, and they seem so happy. He told her, she tried apologized. Now what?
[The Night of Nights]
The night of nights
They called it the night of nights,
The night to remember,
It turned out to be one,
For all the wrong reasons,
Dreams unfulfilled lay in pieces,
It was great for the most part,
I would thank you but for the kiss
So hauntingly beautiful,
I dream,
The world unfolds around me,
It was all but a dream,
Floating on a midsummer’s night
The days pass,
A sad tribute to the event,
A wild night of passion unrestrained,
Yet I wish it could be not so,
It could have ended differently,
Yet I would not have it so,
The fool within me sated,
My love shall never again be so sparingly given,
I lay myself at your feet,
Gave into passion unrestrained,
I felt an answer but wasn’t sure,
I hoped, wished, looked longingly for it,
Alas it was not intended to be,
I shall look back on this day,
Both with hurt and regret and
With hope and love for the future
This is the end of the road,
Look to the future..
What's with people and mixed signals?
