HIStory Of Her

It is as near to you as your life, but you can never wholly understand it. -Sepet

He had given up all hope
Resigned to his fate.
Once terrorised by an experience
that he can never forget.
It left a scar in his heart
He's wounded for life.
All that had changed when she appeared...

She became a saviour to him
Saving him from going under.
Her pure simplicity touched him
Her gentleness warmed his heart.
She came from a difficult background
He sincerely wanted to help
A chance with her was never on the cards but he did not mind...

Blinded and mesmerised by this angel
He knew she was the one.
But his road to happiness is littered with obstacles,
Impossible to overcome.
Never did he knew
That this one-way street
Wasn't going to be big enough for two...

A belief in something so strong
Kept him holding on.
Though they were very much different
In words and thoughts.
They became a little more closer than friends,
But yet a little short of being lovers.
He persistently held on, never wanting to give up
He never saw it coming...

She already had someone else in her life
That piece of news cut through his heart like a knife.
Whatever it is he told himself never to give up
He wanted to be there for her even if he could not win her heart.
The ending may not pretty but nothing could deter him
He already had a place for her in his heart
He simply couldn't live without her...

His dream finally materialized,
When she agreed to a date with him.
Talked and shared about everything they had,
Just like two long-time friends.
They had even caught a movie together
Deep in his heart he wished this date could last forever
But all good things come to an end, this he should have known better...

He had to leave her behind,
To fulfill certain obligations in his life.
Farewell to the place where they first met,
Farewell to everything he thought... or wished he had
He could come back and see her again
Hoping that she will not forget
But in reality will things turn out the way he wanted?...

She had already moved on to another phase of life,
A new place, new job to start over again.
They gradually lost contact in the months to come,
He yearned to see her and hear from her
At least to know how she is doing.
What could he do?
Is the feeling he had for her mutual?...

Now his hope just hangs upon a string,
She and him could never be.
But no matter what he finally knows,
deep down in his heart
She will be loved...
