& for the first time in a long time
My heart throbbed hard enough to break through the brackets which hold my lungs together
In order to reach out to the warmth of your touch

& in that very moment
You looked deeply into my soul & said
"I will never leave you"

A million moments later those words have faded into whispers
Those exact words echo inside my head every night before I go to sleep
I replay them over & over again as I enter a state of drowsiness
Hoping to once again them clearly , in my dreams

Because a million more moments will soon arrive
& I am certain that those words will no longer be existent
& I will be left with nothing but silence & a broken heart

I would like to get to know you better
I am intrigued by the abundance of beauty which your soul carries
To you I may be a stranger,
A face you have not yet grown to recognize
But I would find comfort in drowning in oceans,
Just to know your deepest secrets
I would find comfort in being lost in distant cities,
Just to be found by your eyes

I usually have difficulties when it comes to writing about individuals I may not be close with
But these words effortlessly flow out of me from a place so foreign to my timid heart
You inspire amateur poets to write in such an exquisite manner,
And it is all due to your perfected beauty.

I remember the night we were in Rosebank
It was cold enough for my light skin to shiver
It was cold enough for me to feel your warmth
The world was rotating at a rapid rate
Only the power of your beauty made it stand still

The night which seemed to go on for forever

Your hand in mine
We possessed the secrets to eternal happiness
The softness of your kiss
Created a spark which left the whole planet in flames
Slowly burning
Leaving the whole universe in awe
The sun
Too timid to make a return

The night which seemed to go on for forever

To the rest
This night will always be seen as an ordinary night
To some
This night will not have even happened
But I constantly get flashbacks of this night,
Especially when I ignorantly smoke a cigarette
Trying to reignite the passion once felt
Trying to set the planet aflame, once again
But these memories are slowly killing me
Piece by piece...
Leaving ashes which mark the emotions of nostalgia

The night which seemed to go on for forever

what if the sun is too ashamed to rise in the morning?
will the world then understand the darkness which circulates within my mind?
maybe if gravity gave up on me
then i would float freely among the skies,
discovering the mystery which tomorrow holds in a bird's eye view
because i spend most of my days
skeptically trying to find comfort in the idea of being "okay"

it is in the way she smiles
that makes every part of me believe in the sunlight
even though i have always been clouded by darkness  
even the angels are envious of her walk
the way she flirts with gravity leaves nothing,
but footprints which make the existence of a flawless soul
i look into her brown eyes
trying to understand her thoughts
but words are could never explain
the depth of her perfection
as long as my heart beats
she will always be the reason for its rhythm
and i just hope these words
are adequate to put a smile on her face
because just the thought of her name
brings a euphoric presence to me.

i kept running* from the thoughts constructed by her existence
i kept running from the echoes of her voice which linger within these dark walls
i kept running till i reached sunlight
only to discover that the memories of her are attached to my soul
the same way my shadow is attached to my feet
