chasing pavements

"Should I give up, or should I just keep chasing pavements?"

My everyday routines cycle; when it comes to you
Different day, same story
Recycled endings, none of them fairy tale
Still I wait patiently;
but between you and me, I don't really know what it is I'm waiting for
I've gotten the closure that I needed
I was given everything neccessary for me to realize that;
I'm just not your 'princess' charming
I walked through the fire to get to the castle
Hoping you'd let me save you
Instead youlaughed in my face
I wasn't what you were hoping for; this time the frog didn't turn into barbie ken
After you turned me away
Secretly I hid behind the bushes to watch you further
Your beauty amazes me
It's clear to you; every now and then we catch eyes
The way I feel for you is simply not going to change
You see that; as does everyone else
It gets to you and you don't know why
To tell you the truth, neither do I
I'm simply a matter lacking importance
Everytime we lock eyes
I feel your feeling intertwine with mine
And everytime you realize it's happening, you once again pull away
I'm not your 'princess' charming
Today has ended as the past 384 hours of my life have
Just another recycled ending
But I choose not to end the story
In hopes that tomorrow might have the fairy tale ending that i've been longing for

Today, I looked at him and I told myself that God took his time on every detail
His perfectly round eyes and his curly brown hair; everything is exactly how it's supposed to be
I held his tiny hand in mine and traced over each line our father carved into his palms
As he listened to the sound of my guitar
A smile formed on his precious face
It's a shame that his innocence will slowly begin to fade
As time passes and he ages
Everything that is beautiful now will later become another piece of this not so beautiful world

I held him in my arms as I took a step outside
Everything amazes his beautiful brown eyes
I put him down to walk on his own, and as he fell to the floor
He cried out for me to pick him up and kiss his cuts;
He looked for me to comfort him as what he once seen as beautiful turned on him
I'll continue to cherish these moments that I can hold him close
Because it won't be long before he'll have to get up on his own

As his day came to an end and I put him to sleep,
He smiled one last time before he shut his eyes to rest
One thing I know for sure is that he'll sleep well
Without any worries
I'll shelter him from this chaos as long as possible
This world isn't fit for a king like him
