have you ever been in love with a mystery? have you ever been in love with someone who could never love you back?

have you ever wished for a moment you could strip away the distractions, strip away all the differences, all the things that separate the two of us from walking hand in hand.

i used to walk down nicodemus trail late at night and wish to be together but knowing all along that we speak different languages, have different heartbeats, come from different worlds, i knew this and yet i stayed there waiting, hoping that something would change your mind. that you would hold my hand and tell me to take you away from there. away from nicodemus trail.

alas you never did, but i left that trail and here i am. all alone in a place as foreign as Paris. what are you doing? who will love you more than me? probably no one. but then again. maybe there is someone out there who will love me as much as i used to love you.

in the end you will never know because i never invited you out loud, and the only moment i will cherish is the one when we road our bicycles along the road that evening as the sun went down.

that i will never forget.
