To the boy who almost bought me flowers... But the store was closed.
Or he forgot,
or he couldn't choose,
because he couldn't remember my favourite flowers,
or he didn't care.

To the boy who almost loved me well.
The boy who almost made me a wife.
The boy who almost loved my flaws, but just couldn't quite grip them.
The boy who I almost lost myself in.
The boy who almost took everything I had, everything I believed.

The boy who almost killed me.

The boy who almost won the lottery,
until he lost his beautiful winning ticket.

To the boy who hurt the girl who cared so much that she almost forgot
to love herself more.
The boy who didn't think she could wake up and realize
that she deserved more than being
"almost" happy.

Sincerely,
The girl who is almost healed,
almost clean,
almost okay,
completely done.

Today, she saw old pictures
some old emotions slowly creaping beneath her eyes
She thought she could use some liquor
'coz it still hurts her seeing his old levis

She said,"Old souls can never forget"
and she meant everything she wrote
It's sad how every pieces could mean regret
but she stands firm and realize,

self love could never be bought.

Let me trace my fingers over your dreams,
drown me with the plans you have for your future
and as long as you continously do what makes your soul sing
and bones quiver,
I will love you, even just from a distance.

He was my definition of sunshine
Wrote songs for him I'd long to sing
Scribbled words that wouldn't rhyme
Waited for the day he'll call me "mine"

Well, It did happened
The boy I dreamt became my man
He called me "baby" instead of "mine"
It sounded better even beyond time

But I guess that's how life goes
People change as the wind blows
And even the sweetest lines would turn sour
And love stories turn memories, just like ours.

Indeed, love is too complex to be describe
Giving us all these emotions we never desired

Sometimes it gives us the warmest feeling
On another day, it is one reason for killing

Maybe we are all just caught up with this concept
But at end of the day, it's the only thing we would want to accept

To love,
and be loved.

A girl once believed in forever
Had her heart broken to give justice for her love to a dancer
Never thought she'd give too much
She was left crying with quiver
Then one day she woke up and changed everything
She learned to love herself more than ever.
My first try.  :) Hope y'all like it.
