INTO YOU — Summary

G A B ERomantic

Do you feel the same when I kissed your cheeks? Said I was your first, sorry I ruined it But what to do? I can't help but wanting you I made it so obvious, I'm into you

Thought you were giving me signs When all you did was caring for me Because that's what friends are for My intuition, I need to stop listening

I'm left feeling lonely when you walked out the door But still, when you sit next to me My heart shatters, it knows yours won't beat the same

Sometimes I feel like I'm not the one for you But I guess that's just me, or is it true? Whatever happens, promise we'll still know each other Don't be a new stranger, I'm done left alone

Even if we end up separating Even if you've found a lover Know that I still care for you I love you

Gabe's "Into You" is a confession from someone in love with a friend. The speaker kissed their cheek, admitted to being the friend's first, and now regrets how obvious their feelings have become. They read kindness as a sign of romance, then remind themselves that caring is just what friends do. "My intuition, I need to stop listening" shows how much they doubt their own hopes.

The feeling here is mostly ache. The speaker feels lonely when the friend leaves, and when the friend sits close, their heart "shatters," because they suspect the other person's heart "won't beat the same." Still, the poem ends in tenderness rather than bitterness. The speaker asks the friend not to become "a new stranger," and promises to keep caring even if the friend finds a lover. The last line, "I love you," is plain and unguarded. The mood is vulnerable, quietly hopeful, and a little afraid of being left behind.

RAINBOW

I paint the world, full of colours I take the rainbow and paste them all over the place But they want it to be a monochromatic disaster They don't see the brush that I'm using to colour them

LIFE

Why do you keep on chasing? Why do you keep on lying when you're not alright? Nobody wants you But I want you
