hands reveal your age, they say
yours tell me nothing
but your eyes
they tell me about your past lives
and your past loves
and how i'm just another one of them

in the beginning, there was only darkness. a vast expanse of nothingness, as far as the eye could see. it was quiet. it was mind numbingly peaceful. my world was still and undisturbed. and that was the beginning.
and then you appeared in the middle. suddenly, a beam of artificial light appeared out of nowhere, a spotlight cast on the love i felt for you. it's like the heavens opened, when really it was just the devil in disguise and the earth's fiery core of hellish natures taunting me. taunting me with you. there were natural disasters forming in my heart and my mind faster than you could say "i love you". and that was the middle.
and then came the end. the artificial light disappeared, and revealed that that's all i ever was to you. artificial. my mind stopped overthinking. my heart stopped overloving. my eyes were wide open to the world for once. they looked into yours and i could remember your soul gently whispering to me that this was it. this was the end.

I often wonder whether you were a catalyst in the situation involving me and you
You were never really involved
But you sped up the amount of time needed for me to fall in love,
Which is quite unfair because then, in reality,
I'm the one that gets hurt
I'm the one that has sleepless nights and restless days
I'm the one with red, raw eyes and a broken heart
I'm the one wondering if we were even real
And you just walk away, brushing your hands off and casually thinking,
"All in a day's work."

- bring a book with you everywhere; you never know when you're going to be waiting longer than you intended.
- remember to take time out of your busy day to pause for a few seconds. listen to that clock tick. breathe. you're alive. the world is spinning around you and deep beneath your feet lies a fiery core. breathe. you're alive.
- you are worth so much more than you think and don't you dare settle for anything less.
- walk out of your home with open arms, instead of folded arms, because it's much easier to catch whatever life throws at you with open arms.
- remember to take breaks. you're human, not a robot.
- it's okay not to do anything you need to do. we all need those days. don't feel guilty for staying in bed when you should have been doing something important. again, you're human. it's okay.
- smile at strangers.
- read more. it could be the back of your shampoo, or an advert on the train. just read.
- sometimes you won't know what to do. this doesn't make you weak.
- remember, sometimes you won't get back the amount of love you gave away. you must be understanding. you must be willing to move on.
- lastly, please remember to keep trying with that casserole. one day, you'll get it right... (or near enough edible, anyway).

Me
I quickly tap my screen to respond to your message
"I'm absolute garbage and I love you."
You
Your fingers softly brush against the keys as you type out your reply,
"You're absolutely beautiful garbage and I love you more."
Me
I thought that things would be different with you; you were so much more compassionate
"I think I'm in love with you."
You
You hesitate as you read my message, unaware of the stars that were forming in my mind at the mere thought of you
"I'm not in love with you."
Me
I read the message with my brimming eyes and soon enough, I hear the explosions in my ear of the galaxies that once formed when you told me I was an unexplainable force of nature that everyone was wary of.
I also hear the slow thudding of my heart in my ears before everything fades away and becomes numb.
You
You sit there, quiet and in deep thought
You heard the planets imploding all the way from your bedroom
But all you did was shrug, shake your head and turn up your music.
