looking out

there was a girl
who put on a smile
as quickly as
it faded away
she was never really like that
it all just happened
way too fast
no one saw it coming
even i thought
she was happy

and one day
we were on the bus
her sitting next to the window
me by her side
we talked and talked
about things that
i couldn't recall
but it sure was something
that made her chuckle a little
but the silence
was still stronger than ever

i was eating
something like a 
Brazilian chicken sandwich
it was delicious
and maybe it was why
i didn't take much notice
of her words and actions
to make me see
that what she might be
showing me might not
but real

when i got of the bus
i saw her
sitting alone
emptiness surrounded her
as if it was soon to engulf
her emotions and soul
and what's left of her
is just a remembrance
of her looking out of the window
missing this boy
who used to mean the
world to her
and still did

and it broke my heart
mainly because i hated to see
her that way
lost and alone
but also because
she was so attached
to this boy
who could let go
of her so easily

and it made me ponder about
me as well
was i just like her
having a hard time inside
and difficulty forcing laughter
and faking smiles
and the funny thing is
4 months ago
i was in pieces i couldn't cope
with the fast pace of life
and handling my emotions
and work was even more of a challenge
but right now
i can say that i could
barely even remember
how it felt like to
lose everything you love
and time doesn't even wait for you

it seemed so foreign
i wasn't out of love
but love was out of me
and that was how i felt
i can't remember how it feels
to be in love
with someone or anyone
that actually does know my existence
and feels the same way
and being broken
seems like more of a
typical routine
than an emotion now

and i knew that
there was nothing i could do
to make her feel better
or make her realize that he wasn't
meant to be part
of her future
but sometimes
it is really that hard
when you expected so much more
from someone because
you were willing to give
that much to them

but he wasn't going to do that
was he?

and here everyone is
waiting for that someone
that someone to be part of our future
and the funny thing is
things have a way
of getting better when
you stop caring and worrying
about things that
mean a lot to you
and when you don't care
things get better

but it comes to a point
where you no longer
care about anything anymore
and you just want to
get over and done with
with this life
but does it make any sense?
