our love is a fiction*
carved from my mind
and written in these*

tattered pages

Side by side, you and me
No similarities, just the differences
We're two worlds apart
There's not even an in between

We don't connect with words
But I hope we connect our hearts
So would you take off with me?
Let's take a tour on this love trip

I love myself.
    I have to.
But if I don't,
    I've devoted my heart to another.
Loving you is a bliss.
A joyful wonder in the process.
You are my one true love.

Love is not simple.
It is kind yet rude. Sweet yet bitter. Warm yet cold
Always there yet it could go away.
Anything could happen.
And I know that since the day I met Love.

I came across a thousand youths
who climbed with pride
with their wisdom tooth.
Who knew no more
or less through hindsight
Footsoles sore
searching and trite.
Renouncing joy,
forgetting, neglecting
The simplicity, they overlook
at all the truth
in children's books.

Seeking your face
And looking away
When I dare try to catch you
I've been like this
For quite a long time now
Alas my courage
I walked towards you but
In a miserable state
I become to face you
Stiffness and awkwardness
Is what I get
But still
You smile at me
And I feel that
Hope is still clinging on to me

A space in my mind
is kept for you.
These thoughts in my head
I wish to come true.
But reality strikes.
In my dreams you stay.
These fantasies of mine
just won't come today.
