A single look is good enough for me.
Please don’t catch my eye. I want to turn away from you.
No, look at me. I want to get to know you.
I think you might be all that I wanted.
We dance around the words, not saying what we mean,
But letting the gaps in silence do the talking.
When will we learn that fighting our feelings won’t make them go away?
Nothing makes me happier and sadder than you.
And at the end of the day,
What’re left are the words you never felt the courage to say.
The air in the room went out the moment you walked in
And the world could hear the thumps in my chest
Why do we let our minds win when our hearts are too afraid to feel?
You and I both knew what everyone else did not
A quick glance in my direction, and you knew I was yours
We have a secret worth keeping, and a prayer worth repeating
A single look is good enough for me.
About me
She can talk to you for three hours straight, making you laugh, cry or simply wanting to stab your eyes with a pencil. Meet Stephanie Gwee, a struggling Political Science student and a freelance tech and lifestyle writer, who more often than not, simply wants to sit in a corner, indulge in a bout of people-watching and sip on low-fat Hazelnut Latte.Her desire to purchase the world’s supply of Chanel bags (and her love for the written word) had pushed her to become a freelance writer for the most widely circulated broadsheet in Singapore. Having a love for both consumer gadgets and fashion, she writes for the paper’s tech supplement, as well as their fashion counterpart. Though far from achieving her lofty Chanel ambition, her writing stints help to pay for her hefty mobile phone bills.
She invites you to email her at stephgwee@gmail.com if you are looking for freelance writers or just someone to talk to. Or you simply wish to donate to the “Buy-Steph-A-Chanel” fund.
