a love so good it doesn't have to translate a love so peaceful my doubts dissipate a love so familiar it names what i couldn't a love so passionate it does what i shouldn't a love so strong it carries my burden a love so steady i know it's certain a love so true it knows no shame a love so devoted it answers only to my name a love so big it does not make me feel small a love so sure i do not shrink at all a love so fearless i now fear nothing a love so whole i now become something

Nothing Lost in Translation
i wish there is a day when i’d only feel loved, but why does it feel like such a rare thing to have? to know someone loves you with every beat of his heart, to live gently with the truth you’ll never be apart i wish there is a place where his eyes are only mine but why does it feel like it’s never enough to define that every fiber of my being is a beauty to his eyes that the weight of him looking at me is a love that never lies i wish there is a universe where certainty is in everything I hold but why does it feel like the world keeps everything i’m owed where I can have him, and be loved by all he is but only if I can exist in the world he truly sees

Weightless, Yet Heavy
to be hollow is to be stuck somewhere between floating and drowning just the days i run out of luck times i thought i was doing something i see it in his eyes the disdain he's trying so hard to sugarcoat his words filled with white lies and all the other ugly words stuck in his throat to be vulnerably open is to be shameless something that i have mastered to do i literally could not be a bigger mess and it is his painful unspoken truth sometimes i wish he would just utter it to my face, and does not try to love me more than what i should only get such a pure soul whose love should not go to waste unlucky he is to have me as his greatest regret

the unspoken truth
each goodbye i bid hurt less i try to think it isn't as painful as before with tears i do my very best to hold and anxious heart on the floor i smile as they go

life
Storm is here It's never been this cold You're nowhere near For me to hold No stars in sight You took them all I'm out of light In this world of no control

distant
we are the hallucinations of things that consume our thoughts at dawn we wonder why timing always breaks things and leaves them broken with severe second thoughts, we go on and leave the feeble-minded heart vulnerably open

the deep breath before the plunge
i've been secretly hoping for that courage that tells me you feel just like what I feel but regret it after a wave of thoughts came rushing into me what would we do with such courage if there is there should be no us in a lifetime we're not meant to be

if there is
I took a deep breath and looked at the leaves falling it's like watching you go deeper into this And I just let you be I felt motionless and bare The end was looking at me straight in the eye And I just couldn't even drop a tear I knew, I was, and still am not me Was it a dream? The beating of my heart felt surreal You were supposed to be only in my mind Everything was fine until it has been too much Perhaps we found it serene Like no reality would ever feel as free As if the sun rises in the west and sets in the east How impossible it was that no one can grudge We both winked at the truth The comfort of deceiving ourselves These shouldn't have gone too far We're too complex to be living in a world of our own Here lies the unspoken words Of our own little universe that made things costless And the little galaxies we tried to make Only to know at the end, I am alone

arbitrary
sometimes it's something i'm still half away from you most times it's nothing you are the farthest i could view i can't look you in the eye that night still feels surreal felt like truth sugarcoated with lie things heart couldn't just conceal now i'm having a hard time feeling i don't know where to look your candid disposition is lying led me nowhere but stuck and hooked sometimes there's something things my lips refuse to say most times there's nothing things just go and fade away

something / nothing
somewhere, in a dissimilar world, you love me so much that my air becomes yours your hand quivers when you're holding mine, showing how afraid you are to lose your grip of it your everyday decisions are made for my convenience, your "i love yous" are inserted in long paragraphs of your messages, and your actions show what you're shy to admit somewhere, maybe in a different time, your love is overflowing, your eyes are so focused on me that your gaze proves how much you want what you see your consistency is what keeps us alive your promises are beautifully made and done and your unwavering acts of love are my own kind of guarantee
