You get up every morning
Without any idea how things would go
You have thoughts that are conflicting
Asking for answers you still don't know

Then you slowly start your day
With a cup of coffee and some music to take the sleepiness away
You open your phone and scroll through the news feed
Seeing tons of things you don't actually need

You see how good the life of other people are
Then all of a sudden, you compare your life with theirs
You feel sad and think that you are not living a good life
Then little by little, tears form in your eyes

My friend, please don't get me wrong
But your life might be great already
You just can't see it
Because you're focused on someone else's
Life has its way of revealing destiny
It could make you smile or suffer in agony
Because the ones that you expected to stay
Are sometimes the one destined to walk away

Once in our lives we thought someone is our forever
Until life did something as if it's saying "No" and "Never"
But always remember that no matter how painful fate is
It will lead you to the person you are destined to be with, if you're patient enough to wait for it.

You told me to leave you
But both of us know that that's something I won't do
So at first, I didn't mind it
I just thought that you didn't mean it

But then one day, you stopped talking
Even though everyday I kept on asking
About how are you, and how you're doing
But you didn't send me a thing

Years passed and you eventually made me surrender
Although it hurts, I know letting you go is what's better
But if one day, you will ask me if I still love you
Trust me when I say I still do
Hans Christian May 2021
YOU
If there's someone I want to see in the morning
Someone, whose specialty I'll be eating
Someone, who'll give reasons for living
It's You

If there is someone I want to dance
Someone who would always catch my glance
Someone who'll forever hold my hand
It's You

I just hoped it'll be you

I've been walking on this road called life
Gaining things then eventually leaving them behind
I've drawn the sweetest smile
And felt a stabbing pain after a little while

I was once treasured, but now I am not
I was once a friend, now I'm just something that they forgot
Is this what life really is?
Or is there something that I have missed

Laughter was once my sign of happiness
But now I use it to conceal my deepest sadness
Though it's hard, I try to make it sound real
Pretending that joy is what I feel

I long for someone who could understand
Who could wipe all these by just holding my hand
But along these years, it seems hard to find
Thus, helping myself is the only thing I have in mind
Hans Christian Jul 2019
Problems rise, Troubles spring up
In this fight in life, I really had enough
I can't move, I can't think
It seems my vanity's gone after a single blink

I try to solve one, but there comes another
Restless as I am, problems become harder
I seek for help, but gained nothing
So to tell you, I was alone in everything

Pain was my twin, and bleeding is my hobby
Healing is something elusive, and impossible for me
Goals become harder as I try to push further
I thought I was almost there, but I ain't any closer.
Hans Christian Mar 2019
As I think how everything started
I realized something
As I reminisce how all had ended
I felt a devastated feeling

It was so overwhelming
Not just the end, but most especially the beginning
I tend to smile as I look at the night sky
As I go back to how things started between you and I

At first, everything was so quiet
Oh, I will never forget
How your smile started a sentence
And with my response, everything felt so endless

Years went on and things had changed
From being familiar we end up estranged
We still tried though
To burn the gap and start again from zero

And yeah we did it
We started from zero
But as days pass and as the clock ticks
it seemed that zero is where we're intended to go

Time flies and distance killed the flame
A heart full of love turned into a heart full of pain
We know deep inside, things can't be the same
But still we decided, to try it all over again

Time has been our enemy
And our defeat was its greatest victory
No matter how hard we've tried
The chances we thought we have, had already died

Almost, we're almost there
We almost reached our greatest dreams
Almost, we're almost there
Almost, is where all ends, it seems
