MASK

All these years, I wore a mask that was suited to other people's validity. I tried to ask for their acceptance to feel significant until it made me suffocated. Losing myself and emptiness felt in the depths of my heart. There's a hole that could never be filled by others. Behind this mask was my true self until I realized that I didn't need to hide anymore. I didn't need to cover myself from the world because love had found me.

The love I have for myself filled the hole inside my heart, exposing the true tenderness and goodness of the soul. My precious soul despite scars and imperfections, I know that I was beautiful. This love I have for myself surpasses all of the doubt and insecurities, uncovering the mask I have worn for so long, and embracing my uniqueness. This love nurtures my existence to be the best version. This love will keep me living.

GENTLE HABIT

Cold weather filled in my whole existence.
My entire exterior also received sun kisses.
The coolness of the atmosphere, makes me think about a habit.
I want to create a gentle habit with the drizzle, while heaven and earth keep on spinning.
I intend to be relaxed by the wind that is blowing, while my soul is rehydrated by the pouring rain.

DEAR JOE

You were always intrigued, to know who I am going to write my poetry for.
Our youth reflects on a piece of white paper as my pen strikes down our shared memories together.
Joe, you always wanted to know who was behind my love letter.

Little did you know, even though my lips can't say it directly.
In my heart, it always be you.

UNREQUITED

She spoke, "I am here because I have something to tell you."
He replied, "What is it?"

She told him the sentence that she wanted to tell him for a long time.

"Let's stop seeing each other."

She let go of his hand and starts to walk away, far away from the place she has memories of him, knowing that she will never see him again. The man who brings pain and joy to her heart. Never turned back while tears fell into her eyes. She let go of him, the man with whom she was in love the most.

He just stared at her, doing nothing, because he's never loved her.

GROWING OLD WITH YOU

Hi, my charming man.
I know that you are busy with yourself right now.
Exploring your skills and talents.
Improving your personal development.

Even though, I do not meet you yet in this season of my life,
I know that someday at the right time, we will finally find each other.
I hope it will be a memorable experience for both of us.
That will add colors to my monochrome life.

I feel in my heart that I already love you.
Just I’m waiting for the right moment to be with you.
I am dreaming of growing old with you,
Until death makes a way for us to unfold.

I am thinking about you at this moment in my life.
What would be the place for us to meet?
Is it in the museum, park or coffee shop?
What are your hobbies, favorite songs, preferences and goals?

I would love to learn everything about you.
If you allow me to be with you for the rest of this lifetime.
We will walk in the path of an uncertain future, side by side.
Until life reaches its finish line.

P.S. I'm waiting for you. Let's meet each other, at the right place and time.

MOON CHILD

She is a person who aimlessly wanders through the night.
Under the moon and countless stars.
The moon reflected the bright light of the lovely sun.
As she spoke of sweet murmurs with brilliant eyes.

It lessened the loneliness in her heart.
Then it flared up once more.
A dark-gray creeping moon is veiled.
It changed and flickered as it ascended.

She is a person who loves to contemplate the vastness of the cosmos.
The light of the moon's continual rotation,
like a journey every 24 hours within its orbit.
Each time, the sun's rays reflect on it.

She has written poetry on how she adores the quietness of the night.
She uses metaphor to describe the obscuring light.
Amid the silence, thoughts overflowed through her mind,
and she identified herself as a "moon child."

PHOTOGRAPH

I saw a photograph in a room, the same place where we were supposed to lay down before. It is still fresh in my memory, and I can't help but smile whenever I remember it.

You were a person who avoided taking photos, and to get a shot, I needed to make my whole effort by saying how cute you are.

One night while we were staring at the sky, you took our photos, and I felt how happy you were. The smiles on your sweet face are genuine, and then you whispered, "I love you."

You asked me for a photograph, not knowing that it would be the last thing that I would hold whenever I missed you. I felt the pain of losing you. How am I going to face the world without you?

I won't see you forever in my eyes, and I will only reminisce about our memories together by that photograph. A lifetime where I could no longer touch you nor hear your voice.

My love, your genuineness is reflected by that photograph. If the world can't keep you, then I will keep you in my photograph. The love we shared has a special place in my heart. Until we meet again, my child.
