20/F/Singaporean If there is one thing I can never give up, it would be my imagination. The world is so much more alive and beautiful when you see what it could be instead of what it just is. Not that I am delusional but the way I perceive things is just different.
I've always been a dreamer Take a walk with me I'll show you what it's like To see colours so vivid, it attacks your senses To picture stories that can entertain for hours To make the world a canvas of your mind You're down to earth. Practical. Pragmatic. Rational. Take me on a walk I want to see the world through your eyes You see the world as it is Yet you find the beauty in it Teach me your secrets and I'll teach you mine

You and I
In a sea of unfamiliarity Your face was one that caught my eye NOT in a sense you'd think I felt as if I already knew you Like reaching out to my mirrored self An invisible force pulling me towards you Overwhelmingly irresistible I want to know you Every. Little. Detail Every. Insignificant. Happening Everything that encompasses The individual that is you Whenever you're near I sense your presence The calling of a soul to another *There's something about you that's just so*  intriguing

Dear Stranger
Opening slowly in soft whispers Blooming with crescendos and riffs Reaching a passionate frenzy Till death stills all

A Love Song
There are those days When you just wander around aimlessly Shrouded in hazy daydreams letting your feet take you places It is on such journeys that you end up there Again The path so familiar calling to your inner desires Against my better judgement there I was Again My dark paradise Where I was the happiest Where I endured pain and suffered loss like I have never done Before Admitted into the heart of it all Now looking in as an outsider She was beautiful He clearly thought so too as his fingers traced the contours of her face Looking at her with so much love and adoration Perhaps even more than he ever did with me I stood there Frozen A ****** of another's love I should have left But the pain was better than numbness

Christmas Morning
She was a beautiful girl radiant and bright A freshwater pearl glowing with inner light The world tried to beat her down Submit to the gloom and despair in jealousy and hatred she drowned Her glow masked by the water murky and dark She fought hard against the saltwater I saw her dying slow and tortuous And sent a knife flying in mercy I buried her in a coffin filled with roses, tulips, lilies and other flowers whose names I have long forgotten I placed her coffin in my heart the only warmth left in my body With every beat my heart aches I think of the girl who was too good for the world

A freshwater pearl
Another mistake Another mishap Adds up to the wrongdoings of humans The number keeps increasing Humanity tried hard to be perfect Unable to accept that we are but flawed creatures Truth be told Accidents and mistakes help us progress For the greatest inventions were creations of accidents And mistakes the secret of knowledge

Accidents and Mistakes
I am a coward I dare not confess my heart For fear of rejection I don't wish to spoil the friendship we have Declaring love is more courageous than facing a hungry lion I long to tell you so bad Yet fear is holding me back I hope someday, I can find my courage Before, it is too late

True courage
I always grew up telling myself Never take drugs For addiction is inevitable Now I discovered a new drug LOVE So addictive that I can't help but rely on it I need my daily fix Just like a regular ****** However, we are occupied with our life To take time aside to spend together I feel the withdrawal symptoms The intensity nearly killing me But I never regretted taking love in the first place

My drug
I didn't know the difference between need and want To me they were so similar Like pink and red What I wanted, I needed It was only recently that I realised what need truly is I can function and live without what I want Like that new cute dress I so wanted However without what I need I feel life is pointless I need you right now baby Right here next to me I miss you You were the missing piece to my broken soul I need you so bad baby For I love you

Needs and Wants
I am falling in love Even for someone as socially clueless as me I can see the evident signs Yet fate be so tragic For we are separated by the oceans So far, miles apart I barely know what you look like I don't think I care anymore I finally met someone just like me Its like we are telepathic We feel the same about this world Oh how I wish I lived near you I love the way you think I love the way you message me I know it sounds rather peculiar I too never thought it was possible to fall in the virtual cyberspace Till I met you
