Death is a bridge between living and loving.
A fragile bridge that is meant to collapse without a warning.

Yet love is the real opposite of death,
In a world where living could synonymous with dying.
Love is immortal

Love is the breath of a poem
Or the death of a dream
A taste of heaven
Or a pinch of hell

Love is a magical tale
Or the worst nightmare
A pair of wings
Or an empty cell

Love is the hellos that stay
Or the pain that lasts
A glass of champagne
Or the shots of *****

Love is the smile on your lips
Or the tears on your cheeks
The 3 am message
Or the unsent letters

Love is a word of definitions,
A word that draws your every emotion
'Till my heart tells me its one definition
Love is... you
Love has a lot of meanings, but when you love, the definitions can narrow to one person... Just like how you suddenly see the whole universe in them.

Had our tale been adequate?
Whereas life's unjustness clung onto our tails?
We reckoned life as a good hitcher on our side,
Howbeit betrayed us when we're too far gone to halt.

We danced among the sparks, amid the magic of desires.
A perfect illusion, we seemed like the fairest match;
'Thou were my honey bees as I was thy flowers.'
Yet weren't wings and petals distinct to each other?

I bled nectars and you weren't born with veins,
Though that was a matter I couldn't care less.
Yet you have queens to please,
albeit it must be for my lack of wings.
Still how long shall a heart suffer and understand things?

As truth woke us from our flawless fantasies.
I started to wither; too ugly to merit your visit,
So one day, you found no flowers nor vase on the terrace.
And not a single farewell slipped to rinse the dirtied surface.

Resent me It's alright, I would take the blame.
I now understood the imprudence of my deed,
For which I thought a favor I bestowed upon thee.
I by no means wished to be pardoned very soon,
For I was still the flower which roots kept it from flying.

Shall we abhor this boulder upon our shoulders?
Or beckon reality to befriend our sullen hearts?
Be that as it may, we shall see the hidden art:
Pollination arose after the piercing was done.

A bitter process beyond doubt, wasn't it?
Yet don't we have the sweetest honey out of it?
As someday at some land where my roots have never been,
Some flowers of mine will carelessly blossom and bloom splendidly.

So had our tale been adequate? Perhaps at some point, it had--
Perhaps if fate let us win, our paths might cross again,
And if it does, might the wind guide us onto a lovely mountain,
Where we could make our tale beyond adequate.

We lost it,
So we turned our backs,
But we missed it,
And yearned to go back.

We lost it,
So with our dear eyes,
We looked for it.
Yet we saw nothing.

We lost it.
Our desperate hands,
Stretched out farther
Yet we found nothing.

We lost it,
We saw and found nothing,
Because we forgot,
That we're standing back to back.
It's too close but we choose to believe that it's too far for us to reach.
We just have to face each other, but we choose to complicate things.
We truly are fools

I'd sing the songs with you in my mind,
I'd spell my name with yours on its side,
I'd pen my odes and you'd be the muse,
I'd be the moon to brighten your blues.

I'd fight my doubts to see your heart,
I'd think of you as the loveliest art,
So I'd paint blooms while we are apart,
And smile lovingly for your silly remarks.

But you'd never know these little quirks,
For I'd do them all behind these booming fireworks.
I've written tons of letters for you;
Kept in a box after nearly being sent.

"Allow yourself to fall in love again."
Folks would tell me.
But how could someone dare to love again,
If her heart has gotten broken beyond repair?


"Trust him, give him a chance." they'd say.
But am I ready to survive another fray?


"You used to love risking, what's gotten into you?"
I fell in love!
That's what happened!
I lost myself in the process!
And I don't know who I am anymore,
I don't even know what I am now.
Am I your flower?
Your poison?
Your happiness?
Your sadness?
Your pain?
My nothing.

I am gazing at the city lights at this moment and the view kinda reminds me of you.
It's funny because most of its dazzling lights come from the heavy traffic, I know how chaotic it is to be in there but when I gaze at it from my window, i see nothing but brilliance and peace.

I come to realize that I love every part of the city; the dark side and the bright side, the dull light and the glittering ones, the lonely parks and the crowded bus stops. No matter how scary and confusing some of its parts are, I still love it--- even though the lights are just fooling me, I still love it, I still love you.

So as I draw my curtains down, I thank the city for giving me such a wonderful image that will be embedded in my mind until i fall asleep.
Our memories together are as beautiful as that, only these memories will be embedded in my heart forever, no matter how bad we ended our thing... I'll still keep them.
