Chattering sound, and
Smiling faces.
Too many people,
Yet my heart aches.

These people who,
Once made me smile.
Now, don't feel familiar,
Look beguiled.

These people who,
Once promised me forever.
Now, ignore me,
I look at them, whenever.

I can either join an unknown crowd,
Pretend to be a long-lost friend.
Or I can just stand here,
Lost in thoughts again.

I choose to walk around,
Hands in my pockets.
'Cause I need to pretend,
That, it's all okay.

I hope that,
Once this ache subsides,
I will find my solace,
Being alone in the crowd.
