Every birth mark
Every mole
Every scar that imprints my skin.
Every stretch mark and wrinkle
Every bold vein and pimple.
They tell the stories
of my being
and
I have earned
each and every
one of them.

She is a story-teller;
She told him everything and every single random thoughts she has.

She told him about her story,
She told him about her day and night,
She told him about her dreams,
She told him about her thoughts,
She told him about her anger,
She told him about her confusion,
She told him about her past and plans,
She told him about her favorite football player,
She told him about her belief and faith,
She told him about her sadness and everything that bothers her,
She told him about her stupid jokes,
She told him about everything.

*except her feelings to him.

Chasing smiles
Is like chasing rainbows
In a world
With no rain
Only those
Who are brave
Will take a step
On a thorny way
Crossing deserts
And mountains high
Until they reach
The starry sky
In the deepest seas
They will dive
Until they reach
The other side
Chasing rainbows
Is like chasing smiles
In a world
With no laughter
Only those
Who are brave
Will look for rainbows
Before the rain

within your arms
i felt invincible

you protected me from the world
but you couldn't protect me from yourself.

"Forever" he mumbled carelessly. He expressed the word like it was another ordinary word.

"Forever" I reposnded like the word was a melody. I expressed it like my life depended on it. Because it did, and still I mean it today, even watching you with a girl that is not me.

"Forever" we both said. But only one of us meant it.

they say we make our own choices,
that we choose our own paths.
we only have ourselves to blame,
if we ever fail.

but we,
we are all bound
by the same chains,
threads,
and webs
of the inevitable.

we meet new people,
and from thereon,
they have affected us
and,
we have affected their futures.

we spit out words--
words that may not hold meaning to us--
but influence others
so, so much
(in all kinds of ways--the good, the bad, and the in-between).

remember this:
we should not be pulled down by our past.

rather:
it is because we only have one past,
but we have infinite futures.
you may never truly know.
