I remember
The first “hi” from a stranger.
That first approach from someone I only know by name.
The day my silent moment was interrupted by a phone ring.
You have no idea how my heart race when its your name I saw on the screen.

I remember
Those early good morning messages to late night talks.
Every deep, even stuffy conversation, sends shiver down my spine.
The burst of laughter. How you’d crack a joke to keep me entertained.
And how you’d try to annoy me to catch my attention.

I remember
The exchange of thoughts and ideas.
Giving bits of details of what’s running on our head.
The photo messages you sent me. Letting me know what’s going on with your life.
Sharing the good things you see.

I remember
How these moments turned into a memory.
As inevitable as it is, things suddenly change.

I remember
The silent goodbye.
I remember
How it all started and how it all ends.

It is a choice, definitely my priority,
To set things fine and knowing fully.
You and I defy the the laws of gravity
Life as it is, sometimes a beautiful tragedy.

The universe is vast.  This earth is packed.
Found the contentment i'd never known.
My heart is brimming with happiness at last.

Breathe fresh and crisp air my love.
Let go, hold not a single worry.
Spread your wings and fly like a dove,
Open your eyes, there’s so much beauty.

It was just one ordinary day,
Supposedly just another new day.
But why do I find myself crying
My heart breaks, in pain cringing.

It was just one ordinary day,
Supposedly just another new day.
But this moment, I decided to unplugged
As I realized, this love you can never hug.

Of all things I have encountered
Tis' the one I never expected.
Of all the places I have ever been
Here is where I never thought i'd see.

Of all the people i'd come to know
It is you I never thought would show
How it is to find and feel again
That something my heart could not contain.

Of all the risks out there, too many in line
You are someone I would gladly take.
Of all the chances I have in this lifetime
This is the one I will never break.

In your laughter, I found so much joy
In your silence, I am calm and in peace
With those eyes, I found contentment
With your words, you give me comfort.

You are there. Always there for me.
No matter how dark or blue the sky be.
In all seasons: winter, summer, spring or fall
You are my greatest love of all.


In return, not as payment, I offer these words:
                   THANK YOU.
For choosing to stay and be with me,
No matter how hard and unsure it was.
I promise to wait and stay right here.

I like talking to you
With simple words you make me smile.
I like talking to you
Time is not enough, it pass by so fast.

I like talking to you
Butterflies in my stomach, I once again felt.
I like talking to you
You resurrected the feelings that has long died.

I like talking to you
Until one day, everything burst and I found out
The more I talk to you,
The more I realized who I only am to you.

This poem I wrote as I remember you
Hoping one day maybe it is me and you.
This poem I wrote out of the blue
A beautiful dream will it ever come true.

This poem I wrote because of you
Wishing this pain I never knew.
This poem I wrote only for you
I know you will never have a clue.

You.
Who came at the most unexpected time
In the most impossible way.

Me.
Whose surprised emotion turned into delight
Gambled on a game I thought i'd win.

You.
Clueless of all the fears I feel
And the tears I hold inside.

Me.
Alone in the darkest corner of the room
Swollen eyes, they could hardly see.

You.
Who says will always be there for me
Or wasn't it only on times you are free.

Me.
Trying to be brave
Cleaning up another mess I made.

I see people dancing in excitement
I see couple giggling in happiness

I see trees waving and bending in silence
I see birds soaring, chirping in eagerness

I see lights shining brightly against dark sky
I see building standing tall and mighty

I see a lady, sitting alone, looking around her
Is there something she's looking for, I asked myself.

I see pair of eyes, all too welled up, I knew the answer.
I see hope, one day she would come out of the shelf.
