"Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry

You don't know how lovely you are

I had to find you, tell you I need you

Tell you I set you apart

Tell me your secrets, ask me your questions

Oh let's go back to the start

Running in circles, coming up tails

Heads on a silence apart"

The Scientist - Coldplay

You are not thinking too much.

We are strong enough to specify as much as we can what are the troubles inside. Yet words crumble, to no avail, and fail to conquer each message that atempts to come out. But between our voices are salient episodes of silence that is more expressive than our confessions.

How I wish I can seize your care, wrap it in a plastic, tighten the seal, and bring it wherever I go. How I wish you can water this fiery psychological distress. For to break me from this cold, age-old shell, to save me from drowning in the pool of expectations, all I need to do is believe that you believe in me.

And what is the best way to express my deep appreciation for the strength you have shown me through all this time than to touch your face and see you shine from your smile of bitterness. When you felt unworthy of being the burden in the center of my little world, I then felt unworthy of being a burden for you in the trouble of unloading this burden to me.

I cannot remember the exact words you said to come up with the impression of being there while setting me free. This grip that is keeping us uptight is out of my fear of loosing an irreplaceable you. But you need to breathe to be eased from this discomfort I have caused you.

And I need to look at life beyond this wonderful episode and transgress from this playful imagination.

Expression is a matter of degree and it is relative from person to person. A feeling cannot formulate further explanation, despite forcing it to answer why.

All that is left for me is to keep on believing in you.

But believe me when I say that no one can understand me better.

One more thing...

Believe me when I say that you have done more than enough to prove to me that you are not one of them.
