Chronicles towards our fleeting ruse : watching a heart fall towards a sweet lie.
<p>And hello once more to anybody reading, my name is Echo Vale and this is my second work under this series a brief weirdly emotional series of a girl who claimed that she couldn't express herself but yet tried her best to be heard.</p><p>But anyways shall we dive into our story for today?<br/><br/>Before I start this mini tale could i ask you a very simple question?<br/><br/>Have you ever experienced what it's like to flip through a book knowing the ending or watching a movie already knowing the spoilers? </p><p>If you have would you still read that book/watch the movie or would you never try an attempt?</p><p>Well my answer is 'it depends',</p><p>If I do,</p><p>Will I regret a feeling that could have been mine but given to another,</p><p>Someone I may never know?<br/><br/></p><p>If I do,</p><p>Will I always wonder what the journey could have been and not the ending I already knew?</p><p> </p><p>If I do will that change the half baked lie?</p><p>The fact that the story had already started but all I could do was to watch it happen.</p><p>Because I knew from the beginning that I'd hurt,</p><p>I prepared myself for the worst,</p><p>But sometimes expecting pain doesn't mean it will be experienced.</p><p><br/>But yet again I allowed myself to want the journey,</p><p>I allowed myself to want the feeling,</p><p>I allowed myself to wonder how foolish and dumb but realistic my life could become,</p><p>Yet it had its own sense of beauty.</p><p><br/></p><p>Curiosity killed the cat.. but satisfaction brought it back,</p><p>And in this case this cat came back more defensive and aware than ever before.</p><p><br/></p><p>I couldn't lie to myself anymore, </p><p>Yes,</p><p>I liked him,</p><p> and maybe there was a chance he liked me at first too,</p><p>But days, weeks, months and years went by slowly as we drifted apart,</p><p>I realized I was the only one still trying to light the candle,</p><p>He moved on I didn't, he felt a spark,</p><p>I felt like when they just brought light in my street from the past 2 weeks,</p><p>And yes the comparison is unique but it was also genuine, </p><p>For a feeling I once mocked ended up mocking me back,</p><p>From the moment of realization to the point of acceptance.</p><p>Then yet again it's a feeling I would never have felt an ounce of regret for.</p><p><br/></p><p>Oh what it means to have an aware mind but a romantic heart in the same body,</p><p>How much of a tragedy did they say it was?</p><p>One teaches you how the story ends,</p><p>The other convinces you to turn the page anyway.</p><p><br/></p><p>Did you really like me back?</p><p> I wonder,</p><p><br/>But did I really like you?</p><p>Yes...yes I did.</p><p><br/>But there will forever be a difference between a candle and a sun,</p><p>And maybe I just didn't like you enough to find out if it was true,</p><p>Because I slowly realized the person I liked wasn't who he was but who he was to me,<br/><br/>But yet again,</p><p>By the time I noticed who you really were I'm afraid I was already down bad.</p><p> </p><p>Then for the next few months...maybe years I had an inner battle with myself because by then I wouldn't have believed if you still remembered the name you used to call me.</p><p><br/></p><p>But you've moved on right?</p><p><br/></p><p>Or were we both too silly to realize the truth,</p><p><br/></p><p>I hope you did move on then that will make only me the fool, </p><p><br/></p><p>But I'd rather wait a few more months to find that out, </p><p>As we move on to a bigger phase of life,</p><p>As the distance grows between us,</p><p>Until I can no longer picture you in mine.</p><p>Because I feel like the only way my heart can ever truly move on is if you are no longer near anymore..</p><p>So live that life you dream of, </p><p>The one where I'm not there, </p><p>As I try to live mine,</p><p>The one where you aren't included.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>And maybe that's why they called ignorance bliss,</p><p>Because sometimes, </p><p>It helps you never realize the dumb facade you put yourself through,</p><p>Because I saw clearly that I was lying to myself, </p><p>But yet I continued because the lie was a very, very sweet one.</p><p><em>Then again,</em></p><p><em style="background-color: transparent;">For all the lies I have ever said 'You and I' was my favorite.</em></p><p><em><br/>Oh my wonderful Lord such beautiful emotions you make a person feel!</em></p><p><em>Till next time<br/>Echo Vale^^</em></p>
