"I don’t want to meet you through lifeless screens, where conversations shrink to memes. I want destiny to play its cards, for the butterfly’s wings to break these guards, to stir the air and shift the stars, and end this distance.
I want to meet you out in the rain, see me dancing, you lose your brain, laughing wild with dripping hair, while you just stand, caught unaware.
I want to find you under yellow skies, sharing an umbrella, no need for lies. I’ll forget mine (as I always do), but you’ll carry yours,(it’s so you).
I want to wander old dusty bookshops, lost in lines where the quiet never stops, you watching me search between the shelves, falling for the way I lose myself.
I want railway stations with hurried goodbyes, where we might miss trains but catch each other’s eyes, finding our way through rush and delay, holding on tight if we have to stay.
I don’t want to meet you through empty screens, that hide our doubts and bury our dreams, that trade in silence, betrayal, and ache, where hope feels hollow and easy to break. I’m done with maps that tell me to swipe, selling a promise that never feels right. I want something real, unfiltered, unplanned, where we just stumble into each other by chance (or by fate)."
