Ever since we broke up...
I've been trying so hard...
To forget you like a bad dream...
Or to live with your memory...
I try and think I'd find someone just like you...
When I realized you're the one I really want...
And no matter how many times I can deny it...
You were the one to whom my heart belonged...

I loved
I loved to love.
I loved to love you

Truly it was you
through my thoughts, you blew.
Like a cold wind waking me up,
or your warm touch, laying me down.

Glistening on your skin
from your head to your chin,
the tears of joy Always fell within.

but the next day, It wasn't joy
for you to be so coy
I died within.

As you told me to go,
you defiled my soul
and tore me to pieces, with him.

Would it be simpler to be frozen? Forever in a state of solidarity.

Like a painting, finding rest on the comfort of a canvas, blanketed by the colors of the universe.

Or eternally hanging in the sky, twinkling among brethren.

Perhaps a colder version of frozen, like a piece of Alps gazing over the world. Never needing to shiver.

Worries would subsist with the movements of life. I suppose it would be simpler.

But what would be the fun in that?

Maybe one day,
When the cold rain pours and washes away all the colour,
You’ll remember that morning we woke up in the city
everything somehow more vibrant than the day before.
And the sun came out just for us, I think.
I hope you realize there will be more colour.
Colour will come again.

Maybe one day,
When the universe makes you feel especially small,
You’ll remember those breezy summer nights
spent under the millions of scattered stars,
And holding someone meant your arms were the universe.
I hope you realize there will be more bliss.
Bliss will come again.

Maybe one day,
When you feel like crying because nothing seems easy anymore,
You’ll remember those years when nothing was ever hard
because we were an eternity.
And sleepless nights meant brighter eyes - we never smiled so big.
I hope you realize there will be more laughter.
Laughter will come again.

Maybe one day,
You’ll remember all those doubts you ever had,
And how I said to you,
“It’ll be okay.”
I hope you realize that one day,
It will be.

We spent years platonic, though I wanted more.
I have kept that secret, loving you in silence.
We separated ways because college came
And I felt like I lost you.

Leaves bloomed from trees, flowers began to grow
Still no word from you, trying to fight it.
Suddenly a Skype call from your strange face
And I fell back in love.

You reveal to me all the feelings you had
Shaking me to my core, mixed feelings returning
Regret replaced love, anger replaced relief
You waited how long...

Leaves have turned orange with autumn
Skies grey with the rain clouds
I have found another, affectionate
I will never forget our late fall.
Could have been.

Our bodies moved in
the way the leaves converse
when the wind runs past
a little too quickly.

The salt of sweat
and the scent of warm skin.
Breaths heavy with
      Mistrust.

i dont want to miss you. i dont want to think about you every day and not know if youre thinking about me to. i dont want to have to see you with other girls. i dont want to become a memory for you. i dont want to know im not everything to you. i dont want to wake up everyday and know that you arent mine anymore. i want to be your first thought in the morning and your last one before you go to sleep. i want that every day. forever. im not leaving, its to late for me to get away. im yours. dont leave.

Hello, I've seen you here more than a few times
It must be telling something about you,
I know this place too well myself
It gathers pain and miserable despair.

Must warn you now, before its way too late,
About this place you visit now so often,
The ones who dwell here for too long
Neglect the life and give in to the darkness.

Please run away, if you can feel your own feet,
Dont think too much and learn from my mistakes.
The light has left this place, some say for many years now
And I dont think its coming back.

You are in my heart
And in my mind
You awakened my soul
Faith is blind

I feel a connection
Between you and I
On your wings
I would love to fly

But I know it’s time
To face my fears
I hope you’re there
To catch some tears

Just wanted to tell you
You’re like an angel to me
Gentle and caring
You opened my eyes to me

You touch my soul
You tickle my heart
Nothing can ever
Tear us apart

Today I tell you
How much I care
The love you give me
Is always there

So now I ask you
Will you be mine
I’ll love you forever
My sweet Valentine
