Not in the Same Way

Assalamualaikum.

So tell me how, my dear friend?

To find someone who has eyes quite like you. Whose always seem withered, sometimes unbothered.

Sometimes like puppy eyes, glimmered in the gloomy light. You tilted down your face, looking at me who was trying her best. 

But at that time you didn't yet tell me about the differences people have, for me it could be A, and for you it could be B. 

And sometimes I wouldn't get it, because of the contrasting views we each own.

I was young and liked to see you in the best light, 

Even when you didn't shower and your hair was all messy. 

You still looked like you in your teens, messed up but favoured by everyone. 

You were sloping with your straight figure, in your tight jeans showing your legs. 

She used to love looking at you, but she now hated every chapter with you in it.

While I now understood that, me and her prefer things differently. 

So tell me how? You're nice and kind. But I've indeed encountered the ones who were better. 

But you're nice and kind, and that's enough. You said things you didn't mean and my beliefs were twisted,

But I believed that you had a big heart and you were sincere, and some days you meant them.

Even if it's in your free days and times, in different seasons. 

There were days I hoped I'd see you at the entrance with your new sneakers on,

And like those days you would smile right when our eyes met.
