if only you were
gentler I wouldn't be scared
to get it wrong — try

I am tired of searching
tired of giving my heart
to doors that never open fully

I want a love with courage
a soul that dares
to stay
to grow
to walk with me
sampai kahwin

But what I find are echoes
half-ready hearts
ya da ya da excuses
companions only for boredom
never for forever

Sad, isn’t it
to want something real
and always be met
with almost

So I laugh
HAHAHAHHAHA
because what else can I do
when silence answers my hope
when absence feels louder than love

Please
have a purpose
in whatever you want in this life
do not give hope
when someone prays
for something true

Love is not a pastime
not a bandage for loneliness
not a shelter you abandon
once the rain has passed

Love is vow
Love is courage
Love is forever

And though I am so tired
I still carry this small flame
believing
somewhere
someone will be ready
not halfway
but whole
The life I offer you
will be harder
than what you're used to
at first.

There will be
hardships,
conundrums
and challenges.

But you will never
face them alone.
You'll be with me,
loved like never before.
I gave you the shirt off my back,
You were upset to only be half dressed

I gave you my pants,
You didn't like me naked

But hey, at least you were dressed.
I guess I'll start digging through my dresser
When lovers die,

where does their love go?

Can anyone find it,

or is it lost forever?
