Mine

Written by Jacob Ibrag

‘Why can’t you let me into your

mind?’ Because if I did, you’ll know that

you could never be mine. I’m no more than

a cage and you were designed to fly.

    Must be heart-wrenching to realize, that NO matter how much love you feel for someone, s/he will NEVER reciprocate the same feelings back to you…

    The words are actually poignant, portraying a feeling of inadequacy towards a love one, a fear that in letting him/her into your thoughts, they leave you.
