Oshiete by Leigh G.

“Teach me the definition of ‘strength’
I wonder if it means to carry out my original intention at any cost
Or does it mean to protect what I must even if it means laying down my life?”

Oshiete
Why can I be so decisive about some things,
But have all thoughts end in confusion when it comes to you?

Oshiete
I know where I stand
But could you tell me what’s outside my world?
Because we were more than six thousand dimensions apart
But now we’re not even in the same timeline
I haven’t heard your voice
Since forgetting the tone of our last goodbye

Oshiete
What’d you do to fix my thoughts upon your name?
It’s my own fault, in the end
But the distance doesn’t effect me like it did
I can still remember the happiness making you smile brings me
Even when I lose count of the weeks it’s been since I last felt it

Oshiete
How divert my thoughts from you and to reality?
Out of all the things that can never be,
It was doomed to be you and me
You’ve told me that so simply so many times
But your expression is so stoic when you do
When I do make you smile,
I long to hold onto the hope there’s something more in your eyes

Oshiete
Why does your presence fill me with peace?
And our time apart torments me with anxiety?
You’ve made it so simple
To accept reality with out pain
But pain completes every portion of my life

Tell me
How I can be so strong and decided,
Yet so broken and confused at the same time?

Oshiete
Who stands where?
Can a different emotion stand somewhere else?
That’s the only explanation I can see

Tell me…
Was that your shadow…
Passing by the window to my world?

Teach me the definition of ‘strength’
Is it to hold to my world and most precious hope,
Or learn how to say goodbye with a smile?
