I used to think I can never love someone as much as I had fell in love with music.
I can never explain well enough how music captivates every part of me, how it perfectly hugs and caresses the aching parts of my body, both physically and emotionally. How my heart skips a beat every time I put on my favorite song. How I feel alive with every beat of the drum. How my soul resonates with every strum of the guitar.
Ever since I can remember, It was one of my dream to watch my favorite band's concerts, to be able to personally see them, even if it's many feet away, and to be able to hear them perform their music live. For me it brings me a sense of being alive, that feeling of being able to appreciate where you are, what you have, and that you are simply alive.
I thought it wouldn't be possible, for me to appreciate anyone else as much as I appreciate a song, a melody. Until you showed up. I wasn't even looking, I have learned to be happy by myself and even promised to be someone who wouldn't require anyone to be in my life.
You proved me wrong.
Now, you are the song I wouldn't mind playing in repeat for a lifetime.

I guess you'll never know that I
stole glances at you
while you were sleeping next to me
How I thought you looked nice
when you were viewed from the side,
only half of your face seen
and wondered what you looked like
if you were facing me
you'll never know that I thought
you had a nice forehead
that went well with your man bun
and how that small silver earring you have
on your right ear sealed it off
I wanted to talk to you but I don't know whether
I should say sorry
for falling asleep on your shoulders
or thank you
for sharing with me your warmth
in that cold bus

fall in love with a boy
who makes the world spin a little slower,
but still holds onto your hands
as if life were his final dance

maybe yours would be hands that stay
or your eyes, stars that won't burn out
maybe your waves would keep reaching,
instead of relentlessly leaving the shore
but i have said goodbye to parts of myself
and i know they'll never come back
the parts that love
the pieces that trust
they lay here shattered and broken
and i can't let anything close
because i am made entirely of ruins
and i destroy all that i touch

if we haven't
even met?

I do not fear looking down from
the 14th floor of a building,
nor riding a roller coaster.
I am not afraid of venturing into
the darkness,
nor facing a fierce animal.
Even the thought of death;
meeting the end of life;
do not scare me.
I have been trying to find out
what I am afraid of,
what my greatest fear is,
when I met you.
Then at that moment, I knew.
My greatest fear is
forgetting
you.

Sometimes she gets scared of how happy he is being alone. How he enjoys the times when he would just prefer to be with himself rather than be with people.
"Know what? You value the time you have for your self so much that you tend to shut people out sometimes."
"It's not that I shut people out, it's just that I think its better to not need other people in your life. You may want them earnestly, but never need them so you won't get disappointed. You won't get left behind."
Silence.
"Does it count as selfishness?" He wonders.
"In a way, I think. It's like you're too scared to let someone into your life or feel the intensity of their presence embedding into your own. And, not everyone's going to leave you behind."
It scares her to think that he might not be capable of truly loving someone.
He leans closer.
"I guess I prefer wanting than needing. I'd rather someone choose me to be part of their life because they want me to be there. And it'll be the same for me. I'd be part of their life because I want to be, not because I am obligated to pacify their or my need until we eventually choke each other with our exiguousness. I know, it's pretty hard to explain, considering the line between the two is relatively thin, but I just don't really want them to be troubled by someone like me."
She looks at him, and their eyes meet.
"But I do. I wouldn't mind if the trouble was you."

I knew you were different,
weird,
as they all say.
At that I was intrigued,
challenged,
if you may.
I was not naturally amicable,
but I
tried to understand your trouble.
I had ignored it
once,
and gave it another glance.
Everything looked promising,
then again,
I never knew if you were
faking.
Well now, I ask:
what was I to you?
You've been ignoring me,
as if I am somebody
you never knew.
Did you even consider me
as a friend?
because lately
I felt that you never did,
and I am afraid this is
the end.

From the moment my mind wakes, I am busy.
What to wear, how to do my hair, what to cook for lunch; that's usually what my mind is busy with first thing in the morning. I fumble to get out of bed and cook for myself, trying to remember how much salt I should put in, contemplating if I should fry or boil the fish, or make a mental list on what to shop for next time.
But then again, my mind hasn't been busy enough not to think about you.
Has my name ever even crossed your mind randomly? Because I couldn't count in my hands the instances that yours did.
I see a lot of strangers on the way, passers-by, and I keep wondering what (or maybe who) they are thinking. I ride the train taking me to a place where I could distract myself from anything related to you.
I try to pretend you don't exist in this place. I try to push you out of my head with things I know are far more important than you. I try to forget the idea of you. Yet, these are all but failed attempts; as my mind unconsciously drifts towards our late night conversations and little inside jokes.
Tell me again, has my name ever even crossed your mind randomly? Because you keep on tugging at the ends of my head even in the most obscure times.
It's ten past seven and I'm getting ready to leave. Immediately my mind shifts to thoughts of getting my errands done for the day. I walk the path towards my house, noticing the moon shining brightly above me and I start to wonder if you're looking at it too.
I ask this for the last time; has my name ever even crossed your mind randomly?
Because your name has been etched into the lobes of my brain, and it aches; every now and then.

There will never be a perfect person.
You will never find anyone who has no flaws.
Everyone has their own secrets they need to keep,
insecurities they have to hide,
and a void in their life that they would want to fill so badly.
We are only human.
We make mistakes.
We get hurt.
We feel scared.
We all have these baggage that we carry along in our life;
some may be heavier than the rest but still, it is there.
The thing is,
you can't really find a perfect someone,
it's just a matter of whom you are willing to accept
and carry their baggage along with them.
