Intersection

You said, we can meet
In an intersection after all
You said, you wanted to meet
Even just once, even in a glare
I knew that we’re not meant to be
I knew that ours was doomed till the end
Yet, for all those times
I waited for you, it was as you asked
I stood here waiting at one edge
On the square of an intersection

The stoplight across me turned crimson red
The color of blood, the color of love
Cars cut and run alike,
Through which the hidden barrier once stood

You said, we can finally meet
In an intersection miles from home
You said, even if we were to meet
It was just once, not even another time
I knew, this time would be our first
I knew, this was bound to be last
Yet, I still came
Waiting for you, who I only saw in still frames
Standing here waiting impatiently, wondering
On the edge of an intersection square

The spotlight turned green
The color of grass, the color of buds
The cars stopped,
It struck me – this one thought

You said, we are to meet
In an intersection where I stood
You said, we can finally meet
Even if you’re committed to someone else
I knew it’s all bound to die
I knew that we’re heading nowhere
Yet, I still came
Waiting for you, whom I knew never lied
Standing here at the middle of nowhere
Realizing once more, that we’re never bound to meet

You said, we can finally meet
In an intersection away from you
You said even just this once
Even though it’s somewhat unsure
I never knew I was deceived
I never knew it’s all a lie
Yet, all this time
Waiting for you, in this sweet time
Standing here in shame, wondering why you never shown
Even just a flash in this intersection square
