It has come to my senses
That I’ll love you for as long as it takes
For as long as my heart can embrace
The memories, the feeling of falling,
And the inevitable breaking
It has come to my senses
That you’ll always be there, gnawing in mind
And itching to find your way in
But no longer you will I love,
For the rest of my life, the rest of my existence
It has come to my senses
That the recurring sadness will take place
And there’s only coexistence.

For all the times I close my eyes
It’s you I see and all the smiles
I try and shut the door of this heart of mine
That kept on opening when you’re close by
For all the times you take a look
At this empty shell that got slowly hooked
Are all the times you breathed life, and light, and soul to every nook
That I kept on hoping I get to keep you in my book.

I wonder how it feels
To be in line with your sight
All the time, even just for a while
I wonder how it feels
To receive the smile you give
To someone dear, oh joy in your eye
I wonder how it feels
To have your hand, enlaced with mine
Safe and sound, even just for a while
I wonder how it feels
To love you freely boy, and not be told
You’re not worth my precious time

this is a tale
of two star-crossed lovers
with a love so powerful
they tainted the heavens
with bursts of colours
they were never meant to be;
mischievous little kids
finding love in sinful glee
in laughter, between dreams and reality
and though it was lawless,
they found solace
because in every prison,
they found a rhyme and a reason
but even for a love so great,
they could not escape
the fates’ wrath and envy
destiny pulled on their threads
cut them loose, thrusted them into misery;
for their memories were wiped clean,
but feelings remained as strong as they had ever been
the boy exiled in a far off land
across the pacific sea
the girl trapped in her need to break free
in a realm both boring and bland
ensnared in a labyrinth of woe
the lovers yearned for anything—
for something, for someone,
to obliterate this endless longing
the gods answered them
in the form of two loved ones
polished in every edge,
a perfect someone
but perfect felt too perfect
and not perfect enough
to fill up the hole
left by a perfectly imperfect
until one day the gods whispered
for the winds to push the two
and the birds to tug at their sleeves
over mountain and sea
even through the darkest valley
so their paths would finally meet
and so they did.
in the flurry of a moment
a pair of brown eyes met
and time was frozen
once more
the two stared intently
as if remembering a broken melody
a lost childhood song
branded as a wrong
the birds fluttered and flew
taking the cursed red fibre
snipped them in two
and the lovers felt all the lighter
it was the girl who spoke first:
**** the stars.
i don’t want perfect,
i want you.”*
eyes dazzling, the boy nodded:
*“we’ll invert the universe—
the night sky a blank white
the stars pitch black
the earth moving in reverse”*
the fates saw and surrendered
as the stars began to wither
for this love is love
in all its splendor
so the lovers walked away with a promise
under their breaths, they both swore:
*“i lost you once,
but nevermore.”*
****

Two souls swimming in a raging sea
Both searching for a mighty plea
Moving through different courses
Searching, pacing, floating, arising
One whose heart has broken shards
Of glasses too thick to pull, to part
One whose heart too bright to see
It dims the dark, it caresses me
Both have loved, and both have lost
Both have seen, and seek to be
The best that they could ever be
Away they go, away they flee
How far they’ve fled we’ll never know
But know for sure that this is true
To where they went there’s peace, there’s bliss
To where they went, there’s no more fear

Do not stand at my grave and weep..
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awake in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft star-shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry..
I am not there. I did not die.

I know such foolishness
I'm experiencing it myself
But I also know how it tingles
When you tell your fears and secrets
The gap between your teeth
And your eyes, oh how it sparkles
I sometimes want an out
For your existence, it overwhelms
I know that it should hurt
How I'm loving you in secret
But not at all, when I know
Our friendship brings contentment

Let's escape this insanity
That you and I fit perfectly
Our sculptures intertwining
The wind of night swirling
Let's squander one more hour
Where you and I are one
Silhouettes joined together
For the very last time

Your love is something
That takes me by surprise
I'm fastidious
But you never really have to try
Your love is growing
Into me like a crime
It's unruly, illegal
Something I cannot deny
Your love is a dose
Of a drug that makes me high
It's intoxicating that I wish
you could have passed me by

I heard our song. I had the feeling of nostalgia striking me upside down,
I had the chills I only get when I'm around you. Then, I realized... You were my song.
You were the rhythm that got me to follow every move, the tune that got me all jolly and jumpy
But I never played it again, too afraid I won't be able to stop myself from listening to it.
Maybe that's why I miss you, why I miss talking to you,
Why I miss every bit of arrogance that you have,
Why I miss the feeling of being loved by you.
It's been years, but I still haven't moved on when I should have.
I didn't know that the moment I lost you was when I pretended to stop caring, petrified of what might happen if I still try to.
So you slipped,
and God knows how much I've been trying to reach out to you, but the thing is: You just don't care enough.
Either you know better, or we're just not good for each other, and maybe we're never going to be.
Still, thank you.
You were the only thing that kept me going when everything else is falling apart.
You'd once been my hope; the one guy I had the guts to take a shot with.
The one I know that's worth all the chances to risk...
and worth the great goodbye.
