I refuse to fall in love.
And even though I fall
Into a beautiful trance whenever I gaze
Into his alluring eyes,
I will not fall in love.
Even though I can talk to him
For hours on end
Without ever getting bored,
I cannot be in love.
His dark hair
His handsome smile
His jovial laugh
The way he makes me feel complete....
I still refuse to admit that I do indeed love him.

Time has come
For me to let go
Of the things that hurt me and you
Of the things that made us suffer
Like an old guitar
Slowly losing its strings
Running out of tune
These feelings we once harbored
Are now fading
Like the last notes of a song
It is a shame
That we have to separate ways
That we're now on our own
You and I are now nothing
But an old memory
A black and white photograph
Slowly fading into the background
I'm so sorry for this goodbye
We both know it's for the best
Because if we keep up this love
I'm afraid we'll both sink deeper
Into the depths of pain
And endless melancholy
So now, our hands are drifting away
My eyes brimming with tears
Your lips turning into a frown
Our hearts slowing its beat
We bid farewell to our past
We leave all the pain behind
As we approach a new day
A new tomorrow
A new future
Without the warmth
Of each other's embrace
The burning presence
Of each other's company
And the glowing love
That we once shared
Still, I thank you
You made me love
Like no other has done
Let's not be too bitter
About this separation
Because good things
Await us in the end
Of this tragic story
We'll be the very best of ourselves
Even without each other
Goodbye, my sweet love
Happiness is on its way
To make us smile again.

You were everything and nothing
All at once
An inspiration and a distraction
At the same time
A someone and a no one
In both ways
You are so frustrating
That I cannot fathom
Into straight-forward words
Enrich in strong phrases
And complete into a sentence

In the midst of a crowd
In the middle of chaos
In the ****** of deep thoughts
Came the best five seconds of my life

It took my a jiffy
To recognize that bag
To remember that hairstyle
To realize that presence

And I was right
It is really you
After days of longing
You came and ended my suffering

To say that it was short
To mention my obliviousness
To describe that moment
Five seconds is already enough

Everything was in slow motion
At that moment, it was only you
My attention zeroed to your figure
It was the longest five seconds of my existence

Today, I thank the heavens
For letting you appear in my most stressful hour
I thank them with all my heart
For coming at my least expected place

Now, I can finally face tomorrow
With a smile extending to my ears
A mind contented with thoughts of you
And a heart fulfilled with pure bliss

See you soon, my dear
*I'll patiently wait for our next five seconds of sanity.

I lay flat on the bed
Millions of thoughts
Running endlessly without fail
On my slightly clouded mind
Still, I remain unfazed
Unmoved by the situation
I endured life's pain
My heart that was once a glowing bright red
Is now burned by flames of hurtful lies
And crushed by a boulder of empty promises
Pain has made me this way
The old me was long gone
And is replaced by the me today
With walls built up to resist his sweet yet venomous words
A heart wrapped up in blizzards of ice that refuse to heat down with his touch
And a locked up soul that will never open up to him or anyone anymore
Pain has made me this way
And I think I'll stay this way forever.
