shoes
If I were in your shoes just for a day
I would wake up and see the sun
Rising in the horizon with the same bright light
I want it that way when I’m living for another day
I’ll open my laptop and check some offline messages
Left by some strangers I’ve met in the cyberspace
I’ll smile and think about why I am such a fling
To succumb in moments of loneliness inside me
And left them breathless with my face all over the cam
If I were in your shoes just for another day
I would go to work willingly till the sun sets
I wouldn’t think twice making music to ease my boredom
Since I like to build organs and spend the rest of my thoughts
Perfecting my craft for as long I can remember
I’ll wipe my sweat while working hard to make the best organ
I always knew in my heart that I could be a better artist
If I could weave music and build something that creates it
I was born to do this so I might end up loving this kind of life
If I were in your shoes just for a few days
I wouldn’t mind spending the rest of my savings
Buying my dream house with a small garden at the back
So I would feel comfortable playing the organ alone
My dad won’t even mind why having my own place feels much better
I could even talk to strangers privately when I open my YM
I like to tell myself that I am determined to find someone
Who could cheer me up when lifetime seemed too long to live
I think it’s sweet to open up your soul without losing your empathy
And fall asleep when I get tired of chatting while the laptop is on
If I were in your shoes for just a week
I would meet my friends and invite them for a drink
Talk about what makes me happy without losing my sensibilities
I know they would understand why I prefer to find good time
The other way around and not the usual hook-up-and-sex circumstance
They knew me from work and when I work I work hard for it
Sometimes I’m even more silent when it comes to my personal life
They deal with it so easily like I tried to be there for them
I always knew I’m a better friend than anybody else
So if I were in your shoes just for a moment
I would do the same thing you did when you followed my heart
Opening my life to someone I felt I’ve met in our previous lifetime
While reading profiles in HI5 once when I was trying to get over a day
Of hard work and thinking what I might be doing half a lifetime from now
I would email him personally and tell him I’m open for possibilities
Of liking him and his personal definition of friendship and love
I would call him half a world away to say his writings are sweet
I would spend more time waiting for him online
And refrain from making him believe I’m always offline
He would understand why I still talk to a whole lot of strangers
So when I’m tired chasing the time difference and silence
Still I would try to be his bestfriend that he could talk online
Because I know how it feels to be taken for granted and pushed away
By someone you’ve been waiting all your life to complete you
Then you’ll recognize they’re gone for good
And realize you somehow fall for them at the end of the road
But I have my own shoes…
I should learn to live a lifetime walking with it
In the path of possibilities while hoping I could forget you soon
Soon enough when would I find myself learning to love life again
My shoes are untied…phoenix
