Starting

Facing the screen
It's a place I've never been
Eyes sparkling, blood rushing
Who’s this person talking?
His pretty hair, charming smile...
I caught myself staring for a while
Do you think—no, it couldn’t be.
You just met. Isn’t it too early?
I shook my head, "Wait, what's this?"
Suddenly, it's you that I miss

Sign In

You’re sweet, calm, and kind to me
but aren’t you like that to everybody?
Are you a friend—or something more?
Mega best friend? I’m not so sure
Our eyes locked and I felt this thing...
That’s it, I’m entering
“They’re just friends” hah, they’re not!
I will not let these feelings rot
Heartbeat fast—you drew me in
“Fine,” I thought. “Let the games begin!”

Enter password

I find myself stuck in time
“Now what? Do I just whine?”
Just then, my phone suddenly rang
“Love is in the air” it loudly sang
As I had pressed the button, then came your voice
Oh my! I had no other choice!
“Hey, how are you?” you said, your voice shaking
Oblivious to the beat my heart is making
“Hi,” I said, not knowing what to do
“That’s it!” I cried. “My heart is looking for you!”

Connecting

I blushed real hard and dropped the phone
Suddenly, I wanted to be left alone
A text message came later that night
With you saying that it’s alright
I looked around to see if the place is clear,
Then I texted back, “Can I call you, my dear?”
Your call made my night sky shine so bright
Oh, your voice brought in so much light!

Connected

I’m walking down the damp street
12 a.m., looking for someone to meet
There you are in the corner, your eyes shining
Your lips curled and now you’re smiling
Suddenly, you pulled me over
Your lips started to get closer
My heart beat faster, my feet got numb
For a while, I just got dumb
After we kissed, you held my hand
As if to say, “It is only you whom I had”

Loading

Days have passed, we’ve been on dates
Ice cream in parks with roller skates
We went to museums filled with art
Every time I’d ask, you’d say, “you’re my favorite part.”
You became my pillar of support
The source of my everlasting comfort
All my life, I’ve never felt happier
Is this finally my happily ever after?
The toughest of times, now easier with you
I hope it’s like that for you too

Disconnecting

For three months, we've been together
I really hoped this goes on forever
After a month you've shown me the ring
I didn't expect the storm it might bring
My phone rang, it was a friend
Asking if our love has come to an end
I was surprised, they showed a photo
“They’re just friends” was the completely wrong motto
Who's this new girl you're kissing and talking to?
Who they said is “completely better than you?”

No internet

A hundred times, I texted you
For hours, I called and knocked too
No answer came perhaps for the day
But for the next ten, there's still nothing you can say
You told her the same lies you told me
I never thought about what a good liar you can be
Slowly, the sadness that wrapped my heart
Became the anger that pulled us apart

Exit

Facing the screen
It's another place I've never been
Eyes damp, blood burning
Who’s this person talking?
That hair, that stupid smile
I caught myself staring for a while
Do you think—no, it will never be.
"You just met. Isn't it too early?"
At first, I didn't know what they mean
Now I know what a fool I have been

Shutting down

Blank. That's what we are.
It's all dark, and everything seemed so far.
Suddenly, my heart is bleeding with scars
Now, there's no such thing as stars
I never thought how hard it was for me
To accept that it's the worst you can be
Your eyes, now cold with ice
Your lips, how they spelled nothing but lies!
I know you had hated me for everything
It's okay, I had also loved you for nothing.
