You
You've been counting days you've spent at home
I've been counting days I have missed seeing your face

You've been care free smiling and grinning
I have been praying you experience that happiness each day of your life

You've been singing songs most about love
I have been watching and wishing those were for my heart long as they brought no scars along

You've been taking photographs for your phone to keep
I've been wishing I were in those too

You've always sounded beautiful and sweet and sometimes I wished you were candy.

You've been looking beautiful
My looks have been fading

I was too silent but these feelings haunted me and I couldn't fight them

You  look beautiful in every photograph you take
I see the curves too where I wish my hands could fall whenever we hug

You've been quiet girl and I've been missing you
Lockdown taught us how we should cherish those around us when suddenly we couldn't travel and see them face to face but communicate through the phone
The love grew deeper
This poem tells the story for a lot others out there
Reindeers flying in the skies
Carols floating in the atmosphere
The Christmas tree is shining with presents at it's feet
The kids are waiting for a knock at door
** ** **
It's Christmas
Merry Christmas everyone
I stopped catching feelings
All those butterflies seemed to have flown away and never returned home
That was in the month of winter
And now it's spring
The leaves are falling
Still no trace of butterflies
Like they never made it to their destination
Flowers haven't blossomed
The purple colour of the garden is no more for the eyes to adore
How beautiful the place was
Magical time of the fairies still alive
Everything seems slow like the earth has become the moon
We can no longer feel the gravity
It's so hard to fall in love again
For I failed to catch the butterflies
Falling in love can be tricky especially when you don't want to go through the same flames that brought scars to your skin.
You will always let love pass by you like a passer-by on the streets that you ain't interested in knowing.
You always repel anything that will drag you to the pool in which you once swam
Because you just can't let go of the pain
That pain has taken possession of you and keeps guiding your decisions
And yet sometimes you have to let go and move on
Rummage through my past
Searching for sweet pieces of my life
That have been in an abyss
Lain there and seem forgotten
Thoughts can be troubling
First love still holding the flame
No incision deeper than my first cut
Like you carry a piece of me with you wherever you go
Told me our fairytale story had no ending
Only happy ever afters
In a blink of an eye, she went on to another chapter
Took the bus and left with no goodbye
No address and even changed her number
Wanted to leave these thoughts to the surface
Instead they went deeper
Back to the day when I got my first kiss from my first love
Hold me in your umbrella and give me shade from the scorching sun
For you're unforgettable and we are destined to be together
The impossible happens like feeling your touch when the cold comes
Like we are ride or dies together
The first love is hard to forget
Love in a blink
No brakes to stop you from falling
For a stranger
Whom now you know by looks but not name

Love in a moment
Now that you know her name and story
You know what she does on Saturday and you're hoping to see her on Saturday night
To take her to your favourite spot

Love in smiles
Two young people so in love
Convinced that destiny let them walk into each other

Love in a shadow
Blades cutting through what was strong
Putting holes and creating wounds
Fights and disagreements like you all rushed and should have waited

Love in a flame
Still dancing to the rhythms
To where the winds blow it
Never losing it's fuel
Lighting up the dark
Love happens in phases
Can last or end at any time
Question is "are you willing to fight for it?"
I'll never bow down to the world
It bows down to me like I'm King and my voice is supreme over all that is in it's dome and beyond
Just yesterday it felt different like all streets disowned me and people I knew were nowhere to be found like I was some kind of freak and nobody liked meπŸ˜…

Now it's a flurry of excitement
Fireworks lighting up the skies
A couple of selfies taken
Toasts to greatness

Like where were you yesterday when I was hurting and I found myself crushing
True friends are hard to find
A friend in need is a friend indeed
"If all it is is 8 Letters, why is it so hard to say?"πŸ€”

Feels like a mission impossible
Not sure of the state of mind or if you need a psychiatrist to avoid the insanity cocoon
Scar tissue that's still healing and new wounds bleeding
Scared you are enchanted by a spell and none of that is real
Emotional roller-coaster replaced the old sweet chills and thrills like all feelings should be dumped and forever forgotten πŸ˜“

Crazy world we live in
So hard to express feelings once you start catching them
That "I love you"
