Anthony Tan - Echo

A whisper to my ear came a brush of wind
Feels like a touch of cold un-easing hand
Even though I would like to stand by him
I cannot sway from my troubled angst.

Words came out but it’s a forgotten echo
Like melody that has lost its saccharine tune
How do I make this anguish to go?
It lingers like cloudy storm of a monsoon.

The worst is not far from my glance
Does he ever notice my feelings for him?
Will he ever see how much he means to me?
I think it is not meant to be.

What will become of our forgotten touch?
Where will his actions lead us then?
Although I would like to join our hearts
In once an enthusiastic endearment.

Feels like I am walking on shadow-less ground
Aimless through a thick inviolable mist
Like a lost soul that could never be found
Gelid and insipid, my heart is this.

Try as I may it does not seem to last
And will we ever, end up together?
No I think not, it is never to become
For I am not or ever shall be the one.
