you are endless wordplay recorded over a blank coffeeshop soundtrack. your lips throw out pun after pun, but your throat hums to the ghost of a song you swore you didn't listen to.
you are smiles across the breakfast table, blinking too-little sleep from your too-bright eyes, talking too loudly about how you don't need rest when you can get drunk on life. i laugh quietly. the dark circles give you away, my dear.
you are long nights and warm blankets and repeating "we should go to bed" until it sounds like a joke. it is hard to fall asleep when the blood is singing in my veins and my dreams are coming true right in front of me.
you are soft corners and sharp edges, too strong to stand firm and too fragile to break. your footsteps falter and even your confidence has cracks, but i'll admit it's comforting to know that you're just as scared as i am sometimes.
you are fast-talking and over-explaining, and you never do anything halfheartedly so you are also lying-too-easily. but it's okay i never wanted the truth anyway, i hated how it dimmed the memories and haunted the empty space on my mattress. i like how that space is taken up by the curve of your body instead.
you are called a paradox, white wolf or black sheep, predator and prey at odds and at peace. and you are called downward-flowing, like the way i am falling faster and harder for you. then again, maybe i like metaphors too much. maybe your name is just a name. maybe it's the most beautiful sound i've ever heard.
but i call you love because you are the only reason i have any inkling of what it means.

*Not a scratch, baby
I won't let you fall, trust me
I'd hold you carefully and won't
Let marks ruin your beauty
I'd leave my fingerprints on you
So everybody will know
That this instrument of love
is infinitely owned
Strum you ever so softly
You'll make me hear melodies
and I'll play you, lovely,
like I have done this for years*

*other times i dream of
being on the edge of a cliff
telling my body to jump
one last step and
i will be crushed into the pitch
of a complete void
where hell and peace meet
but i never do
i never jump
because maybe i still believe
in the absent fact that
you might come back
and stop me from doing
that one last step*

***You saw me.
Then came the part where
I cannot stop staring at you.***

Right now I think
the sea could be calm
If we let our ship sink
We will both be harmed
Right now I know
This curr'nt will hold us
The tides are never low
But bring what is ours
Right now I feel
These waves have power
We'll keep each other still
Though seas are unfair

*let's be young
in search of the sunny days
to cover all the clouds of grey
let our souls be sung
like how the daisies dance
even in the moonlight
as long as there is wind
take me anywhere but here
or better yet let's be crazy
under the starry skies, lay with me
let's be sleepy
under the thick sheets of you and me*

*A portal opens for the escape
The thought at night that keeps me awake*
There would be ravens squawking
A castle's silhouette is closely standing
Vines wrapped around each wall
Darkness surrounds everything that once stood tall
The evening lurks as if it is being eaten
The cold wind searches for something to embrace
Everything is being watched as the night deepens
I am alone as my heart starts to race
I have no one beside me
nor an animal to be with
All I hear is the breeze of my old friend
Telling me to stay
and to never ever leave this place
I should not be scared
After all this is my world
I have my own realm
It is not so much
but it is mine.

...and then the day comes to an end
which definitely includes him.
