Fool's Feelings

Out of nowhere you came.
Out of nothing I felt something.
Your voice sounds innocent as a child.
And you know what?
It captured my heart.
This sounds crazy, isn’t it?
We talked only for hours
And strangers truly we are.
Would you believe if I say
You tickled my heart?
I’ve created features of you in my illusion.
And associate traits of you through my confusion.
I picture you handsome and kind
But miserable I became
When you uttered that a space
In your heart was already occupied.

Right after the moment we talked,
I asked question that has been unanswered.
“What is this invisible thing in my life that I look at?”
“What is this incomprehensible thing that I find hard to understand?”
Am I talking about love?
Or simply day dreaming?
Call me a fool, stupid or weird
For easily loving someone unfamiliar to me.

A fool lover you may call me
Coz I felt this crazy thing the first time.
For saying that I held you
But through my fantasy.
In this tranquility of night allow me to share how I feel.
Open your ears, listen…
And I’ll tell you that…

May be because it is how gentle you speak
That you’ve beaten my weary heart.
May be because it is how sincere your words reflect that you’ve made my lonely heart smile.
Maybe because it is through your hidden charm that made me almost escape reality
And almost stop the pain
For you start playing the music that once captured my heart.

Truly I have no regrets
When I took the chance
Of spending time
Conversing with you.
Though in very short span of time,
I know I have a lot to thank you
Coz you “yourself” became love who touched my soul
And keep it from understanding that
Love is the greatest gift of all.
