"Half a year ago, I was a different person.
I would go home late alone and walk on the dark sides of the road. I would rather read books than meet another man to be happy. Seemed to feel hell to think of someone and think of a future with them. I cry whenever I feel down and I have no one to talk to. I work hard till the day ends and no longer feel my arms when I rest. I treat people nicely, hoping they will do the same in return. I act brave whenever I see pictures of us from the past, hoping to have a chance to talk to you again, and wishing to feel numb every moment I remember your face. I'd rather have my notebook to write about our past mistakes and why we failed than start again with someone else. I'd rather hopelessly dream of you than give others the love I always keep for you. I was a selfish dreamer. I was a girl with tons of selfish dreams in her head.
Now, this is me. This is me now.
Loving the feeling of being taken care of by you. You never let me be alone when I walk in the dark. You make me feel safe as you hold my hand when you bring me home with flowers and chocolates behind your back. Even if you are far away, you keep me safe by reminding me what to do when going home alone. With the best feelings when I hear about your plans and dreams with me. At the end of the day, you were there to ask me to rest with cuddles and kisses as my reward. You were kind enough to show me the love in your version. We fearlessly take pictures wherever we go, hoping we last longer than memories. Here I am, keeping the moments I freely touch your neck and face as I kiss you when you sleep. When someone tells me that we are doing this wrong to love our past love again, I would rather be wrong for the rest of my life. I noticed that I am no longer a selfish dreamer because I dream with you now. I see my future with you as I dream of you even between the blinks of an eye.
I am no longer a selfish dreamer coz this is about you and me now."
