Out of all the things
I could ask from you
All I want is
to sit and talk with you again
with the both of us knowing that
we are okay with each other

You may lie constantly that
you are okay with me
but I can see it in your eyes
I can see it in your look
that things are not okay

You may say that I would be
crazy to accuse you of this
but you would know better
than to lie to me again

All I want is for things to be okay
but apparently, I ask for journeys
that require me to cross stars and galaxies

People around me always ask those questions of
"Who do you love?"
"What do you love?"
"Where did you love"
"When did you love?"
"How do you love?"

But not so often do I hear someone ask
"Why do you love?"
I guess it's because every one of us
will never get a satisfactory answer
I mean, I guess it's true for me
because a reason why is never
greater than reasons why

Well, for the sake of sharing
I will tell you one of mine

"Because I can't afford to hate"

As cliched as it sounds
it seems a reason good enough for me

As a person who has seen more than
his fair share of death firsthand
You'd get to see stories of people
who died never seeing what love was
who died never experiencing love
who died never knowing love
who died never seeing their love again
who died never experiencing love again
who died never knowing love again

and for a chronically sick person like me
I can't afford my life spent on hate on anyone
I can't afford hate more than what is human

Maybe, it's just being positive, but..
Love while you can still love
Because the mere fact that you are alive is love already

Just trying to stay positive

I guess, if you would ask me
"Do you smoke?"
I would probably, jokingly say
"Yes, I do"
Because, I have this need to have it
in my lungs once in a while
(the smoke, I mean...)
Especially, when my lungs
couldn't handle it anymore
and the overbearing stress
overwhelms me

I have my "cigarettes" with me
all the time
and when I need to take a break
I would usually pull it out
and take a puff of the bittersweet
air that fills my lungs

There's that satisfaction whenever
I'd take a puff
It's like my lungs finally breathed in
real fresh air

Sometimes, when I need a stronger dose
I would resort to a more "mechanical"
kind of cigarette
Kinda like your bongs and ****

I too make those ephemeral patterns
most of the time, from my mechanical cigarette
and sometimes, with my mobile one
just for fun

People do worry for me as well
the "non-smokers" that have that
same curiousity of
"What does it feel like?"
"How often do you take a puff"
"I wanna try, but it seems dangerous"
And I too feel that annoyance where
people tell you to take better care of
yourself whenever you'd take a puff

So, I guess..
Yes, I do smoke
Just a different kind of smoke
You take in your smoke
I take in mine
The only difference is
I'm not killing myself
From the 1990s to 2010s
Asthma had a worldwide mortality rate
of 250 million people.
We are a population of people who fight our number one obstacle DAILY..
sometimes unsure if today would be our last
and yet... It saddens me that there are people, blessed with healthy lungs, ruin themselves because
"It looks cool"
or
"Because other people are doing it"
or
"I'm really stressed out"
You have the one thing that I have been jealous
about, ever since I was a child, and here you are ruining it
and here I am stuck in bed suffering a persistent asthma attack
thinking that death would be kinder

Is *it so Bad That I  Told You
How I  feel
?*

Maybe, I shouldn't have
Maybe, I shouldn't regret
Maybe, I should've waited
Maybe, I should've left

But this
...
things can't be left like this
I probably have said this more than
what a normal man have said
but, I'm sorry
You might say not
but I'm sure..
Things are not the same between us

We knew what we felt for each other
though sadly, they face other directions
A few seconds, we spoke only the two of us
in those seconds were the words that crushed me
"I'll be a bad girl"
...
Why?
Why do you do this to yourself?
Why did it return?

I'm not sure anymore
if I watched over you
too much
or
too little
but in any
possible circumstance
...
You shouldn't do this
Out of all the things I have written
that I may be too shy to show you
This
This is one that I wish you can and will read
...
and for another one out there, I know you can read this
and I hope this goes through you as well

I just care

I couldn't count
the number of times
it rained
it shined

today.
but all of that
did not matter
because we were
all there together
we held to ourselves
the moments we
were together under
that same roof
under that same sun
that shined above us

seeing all of them
with a smile on their faces
made me realize that
we each give each other
a reason to dance
I haven't had a good day in a while..
until today.

I'm 5'11
She's 5'1

I lean over to her speak
She tiptoes to speak

I lean over to talk
She tiptoes to listen

I lean over to vending machine
She tiptoes to it

I lean over to hear her speak
She tiptoes to speak

I lean over to tell her
She tiptoed to listen

I lean over to hear her say something
She tiptoed...

She embraced me

Found this around the house
Memory of my first hug from my first love
