I was like every other scientist
for love to me was just
a neural reaction to a certain
stimulus presented to an individual,
just a hormonal response of a person
to a certain situation laid out to them
Like a configuration of ****** muscle
tissue of one results to an increase
of serotonin, dopamine, and for some,
oxytocin of another
At times, one would affiliate this
****** muscle configuration
to that of pentahydroxyhexanal (sugar)
and that was discombobulating

I could not understand how
a smile becomes sweet

and yet at that moment
when I saw you smile
I immediately understood
that science
science cannot explain this

This feeling I have when I see you

Perish the thought of guilt
for I love you and
I expect nothing

My dear, I love you not
for what you have done
not for what you will be
but for who you are

Perish the thought of guilt*
for I do not regret a single day
that I am in love with you
Perish the thought

Honestly**
There were times that I try to convince myself that I don't like you
You're loud and giddy
and most of the time, a real klutz
You'd probably have a sprain on every other day that I'd get to see you
You're annoying and pretentious at times
and your imagination really does take flight whenever you'd see my drawings.
You're crazy in more ways than one.
I don't even know how that's possible!

I'd sometimes tell myself that I hate you
I'd tell myself these:
I hate how she's loud and giddy
because you'd have these eyes that glow every time you'd have a story
I hate how you're getting sprains because you were so immersed in your own world
sometimes, I hate that you'd come to me about it, because I would care too much
I hate how you annoy me sometimes, especially when I draw or study because you'd get too close to me and it makes my heart beat so fast, I'd get tachyarrythmia
When you get pretentious.. I hate how I'd like to listen to your stories, because well.. you tell it so engagingly
it sickens me
I hate how you're so crazy it makes my day so different from every other boring day I'd get before I met you.

I keep telling myself these
every single day
to make myself not fall in love with you
and before I knew it.. all this time.
I'm in love with you
I love you even before I realized I was in love with you

I used to believe that we couldn't get any closer
than a doctor - patient relationship
Cause everytime you'd come to me
you'd always ask for a diagnosis

I'd ask for your symptoms, check your pulse
your temperature, even your recent meals
then you'd tell me about your recent pains
your heartaches, cramps, and muscle strains

Little did you know than I wanted more
than stories about sicknesses that deters you
Like your favorite color, favorite fruit
favorite band... stories you never told me

I hoped to be more than just your doctor
a person that just cares for your well being
I care more than the sicknesses that bother you

I wish you could trust me more
Is it bad that I want to be in your life than just that guy who'll be a doctor

If you can remember any memory,
Real or Not
what would that memory be?
...
A question I've always asked myself.
If I could remember the times when we
held pinkies, or walked together
slept on a chair without a care
when we made moments matter
Sometimes, I wonder if those memories
were the same to you as for me
cause they felt all too real
They were moments where
it felt like
you were reaching out
and yet now
there's this ineffable distance
as if.. those memories were never real
It's sad to think that those moments
are your losses
cause I embraced it
and held it sentimentally
Was it my mistake?
What have I done?
To make you forget reality
and changed it with blank memories
...
If I were to remember a memory
Real or Not
I would remember you smiling at me
WFP inspiration + a fellow poet inspiration
with a hint of you in every verse
Not really good at making titles.. or poems

For 10 months, I've been holding up
a pitcher of affections and feelings that
you never knew it had your name on it.
It kept filling and filling, and no matter
how much I fill it, I couldn't give you taste
because it might disappoint you.

At some point, I gave you a sample
and you seemed to enjoy the sweetness
but I was wondering if it was too sweet
so I couldn't give you everything

There was a time it turned out bitter
maybe, because you sought other pitchers
but it still had a sweet after taste

I try to make it a sweet - sour taste
so that it gives you "kilig" affixes
Still, I couldn't reach for that taste
so I still couldn't give you that pitcher

But as unprepared as I could be
you demanded my pitcher
and I poured everything in your cup..

I wasn't sure if I didn't have enough
to fill your cup, or that your cup wasn't ready
to take in all that it contains....
Maybe, your cup was too small or
There was too much in my pitcher
The kinds of poems you make when you "hugot" too much

There was this one moment when the rain poured
and we were both stranded at the moment
because we were both at awe at the sound of the rain
and the defining scent of petrichor
Do you remember?
You closed your eyes and smirked as rain poured
and all I could do was watch and see you in the moment
because you were in that moment.
You claimed the moment
Do you remember?
The raindrops fell harder and the sky grew darker
and we all could do was watch
you went closer, as if you were expecting something
when the bright spark of lightning appeared
along side a loud thunderclap
you clung onto my sleeve and felt your heart race
Do you remember?
"That was loud" I commented as we both watched it
though, not a response from you was heard.
at that moment I saw you clinging on my sleeve
and felt your gentle heart race
Do you remember?

At that moment you said "Thunder  frightens me"
and at that point
I always remembered
I saw them today... Lightning and Thunder
I just hope you were okay  when they said hi
