The candle flickers

And I stare

The voices are getting louder

I don't dare

To listen any longer

Because I know I can't keep myself from

Distinguishing your laughter from their incoherent chatter

The songs that you hum

Yet I still falter

Now I could only hear you

Even when your silence deafens me

Now I could only see you

Even when you won't look at me

Even for someone like me, this is unexpected

So I'll keep this fleeting feeling remain unrequited

I'll wait until it fades away

Although it may not be today

Like the flickering candle

Dangerously burning, yet fragile and fickle

The fire will soon go off

And I'll move on.
