And maybe, you were right.
We never needed to be in each other's skin
to feel the connection.
To be with all the kids who rushes to caress a heart
through pressing through hearts on an instagram post.
We never needed to get drunk, to have fun.
We never needed to see each other every day.
WE DON'T HAVE TO PUT A LABEL ON ANYTHING, FOR NOW.
And maybe, you were wrong.
I wanted you to feel how my heart beats while you lay on my chest.
I'd like you to whisper words in my ear, though deafening, scream my name as your heart rushes everytime you hear my voice,
as mine does.
Those eyes I was so scared to fall in love with,
Still cries for a heart I never broke,
but I have my arms ready to wrap you up,
let the little boy in you understand,
it's okay to feel things.
To be sad,
to be angry,
to crave for unspeakable things.
But maybe, we're right.
Though, it's all wrong,
we wished to have met sooner.

my last stick of cigarette
kissed my lips
at 10:15.
i know i wanted more
but my body started to shake
at my 6th one since brunch.
i tried killing these things in my head
but the feedback was louder than they were yesterday.
i fell to the ground and was slightly disappointed.
i get to get another day,
another day to paint red on my lips
stain pink on my cheeks
another day to appear i like sunrises
and sunsets make me wish i disappear with it
into the horizons,
drifting through the waves of the ocean.

Oh to be loved by you,
in many ways possible.
I learned that scars don't heal overnight or when a kiss laid on the cheek.
it stays til another one started to hurt.
In this dimmed walls we created a movie in our heads wherein we chase the world ahead of us, not caring what lies ahead.
you drew pictures with your shaking hands and I caressed every vein i can feel where your blood flew through.
your kind eyes that screams all the hurting inside and I just wanted to heal everything.
oh to be loved by you
and loving you in ways i can
every tear the runs down your face and
every broken glasses on the floor I stepped on
the blood runs thicker than water they say but mine is pumped
by every look on those eyes.
oh to be loved by you
in ways no one else can understand
you shout every word of a song,
only my heart can hear
you took a piece of my ten thousand piece puzzle and i continue to search in every cereal box in the grocery.
oh to be loved.
by you.
and we still said good bye.

we never get to dip our feet in to a sunset warm ocean.
we never get to bake cookies together and look at the oven door every passing minute.
we never had the time to take that out of town trip
and get lost in a city we've never been in.
instead...
we had beer for breakfast,
and pancakes for dinner.
shared a lumpy bed and two flatten pillows.
and blasted music not worrying about our neighbors.
we planned to have a picnic or to sunbathe by the beach
instead got oil burns cooking fish.
we wanted to spend days under the summer sky
but spent late night hours laughing under the convenience store's neon sign.
how we imagined life could be ten years later, pretend we're in a movie,
but ended, no post-credits
scenes, we wrote, scribbled in restaurant napkins,
crumbled in trash, thrown away in pieces.
the summer ended with tears and not of joy.
the summer ended with goodbyes screamed in silence as we walked in different direction...
boy, i am now in a plane headed home with bags full of
the summer we wanted.

It’s been forever ago
It hurt so bad
it created a little hole
that slowly consumes me
from the moment I sleep in the morning
to the midday naps I took
sleep was never here
i moved my bed to where the sun
doesnt reach me anymore
i hated the heat
i hated the hint of
tomorrow’s glow
it’s been years you still
sit at the back of every forgotten memory
dusted furnitures you rearranged
and made a home
there was never love
for you
but i hoped
there was never anything
from you
but i held my neck like drying clothes
i felt ashamed
but never for loving you
it was just i’m ashamed i even dared to
create a space for you
though i felt empty
you never deserved
an inch of everything
i felt.
you never deserved me.
you never deserved the happiness
you stole from every night
and every sun light absorbed
waiting for the day
to kiss you.

You fall off
Not from a cliff but in a deep sleep
Turning to your dreams as an escape.
You asked yourself about what could make you happy
But answered silence.
You never really knew yet you said a name.
In that moment, he was
as you also thought,
and he really is, happiness.
Yet the girl...
You do not know her,
she started to like monsters and music that screamed their names.
you know she hated pickles but she orders them anyways,
she never liked staying at home, but saw her lying on his bed,
enjoying the warmth.
And you wanted all of that.
But you don't know her.
You never really knew yourself at all.

It reeks of sadness in this room.
I don't live in the same house, anymore
but I still got your shirt.
I look for you in every face I smile at every day,
they come and go.
So fast, that I wanted it to be you when I look away.
Your smell lives in my head like a song I never liked,
but the chorus screams your name, not the title.
I remembered when you clenched your teeth,
to me, it sounded like the crickets outside my window
that I never thought of closing.
It's cold but I still had the door open for you.
and yet I thought,
there's nothing left to come home to.
the tore down the walls we used to draw on and built a higher one.
the lights... there were none.
Only the blue light coming from a phone so bright that I never thought of putting it down,
in case you call.
in case you wanted to visit the emptiness.

I bet your eyes glitter like the ocean floor during sunsets
His eyes were like pink skies.
You might smile and laugh in a way that would bring life to the room full of sad hearts,
He was the life of every party
and to mine.
I'm sorry if I didn't get the chance to show you how he makes coffee at four in the afternoon, listening to songs of screaming pain and longing.
I'm sorry if you didn't get to hear how he sings his heart out and teaches me how to make barbeque in the middle of the night.
I'm sorry if you haven't got the chance to smell our favorite shirt, I was planning to keep it unwashed until you're here,
so in a way, you know what his hugs smell like.
I'm sorry if you didn't even see the same moon we loved.
You held on so tightly and I know it was hard, it was for me, too.
But I know, you lay in the bed of clouds softer than the cheap mattress I got from the department store.
In the next life we have, I'm pretty sure I'll hug you so tight that we'll never be apart anymore, my baby.
Now, you rest easy and wait for mommy.
we might not meet in this lifetime, but surely, I'll never let you go the next time I get to meet you, again.

Hand-written letters are overrated
almost non-existent.
Like love,
as a child, you have longed to experience and even rushed.
You knocked on hearts to know what it felt like but all you had were broken bottles of liquors
that made you dizzy.
Red champagne and Rosé
you learned to immune yourself to
like water and air you breathe in everyday.
Broken dishes on the counter and sink you never washed because you never went home,
because there was nothing to go home to.
Everything seemed to change when I blew the candle on my 25th birthday cake

Another night you realized how tragic it is to be married.
You. Never. Wanted. To. Be. Like. Them.
Cold nights are normal.
Warm nights are just wrapped sheets and hot days, treated by air conditioning.
