I liked How you said "Meh"
Because I say that too..

I liked how you said "Yus"
Because I say that too..

I liked how you used words..real words
Because I use them too..

I liked how you liked Red Dawn
Because I like it too..

I liked how you liked Lord of the Rings
Because I like it too..

I liked how you were atheist
Because I'm atheist too..

I liked everything you said
Because I was thinking it too..
Your eyes are
my weakness
Your scent is
my proneness

Your lips are
my vulnerability
Your hair is
my susceptibility

Your voice is
my instability
Your touch is
my humility

Your lust is
my inferiority
Your love is
my superiority

I just want you
to be happy
but sometimes
and selfishly
I want to be
your happiness

But
'happiness is a choice'
you say
and you didn't choose me

I clung onto the idea
since you made me happy
it would be the same for you

What is happiness now?
where has it gone to?
In time, society has robbed us
the real meaning of happiness

Go on your own way
and pursue your happiness
for your smile, is my smile
your laugh, is my laugh

and I'll be happy
when you find your happiness
because I love you
always have, always will

Love is a fairytale

My heart is a game

Emotions are complicated

And I'm to blame

I have those moments
When all I want to do is
Read your words
Hear your voice
Hold you close
And feel your warmth..

And I have those moments
When all I want to do is
Finally drown
In this ocean
Of endless sadness
And just slip into gray..

Right now
I feel both
And I need you here
To lie to me and say
Everything is ok
And you're going to stay..
This is to you.
The guy I dream about.
The guy I've fallen for.
The guy I've damaged.
The guy I don't deserve.

What are these words
Coming from my pen
Oh, right. They're honesty
I love you again
I am a logophile. A lover of words.
I love words. Language. The way sentences can be constructed and broken down. How you can persuade, intimidate, bribe, barter, bully, influence, tempt, and so on. I love poetry. Slang. Lyrics. Quotes. Phrases. I love the pronunciation of words. The way we can read between the lines. How we can distinguish "Okay" from "ok." from "Kay:)" from "k.". How some words can send shivers down your spine, be it from how they're worded to how they're spoken to who spoke them to what meaning it holds. I love the quiver of the lip when someone says something that hurts. The stammer, the raw emotion, the shake in their voice, the tears that swell up in their eyes.

And I love words even more
when they come from your mouth.

Sadly, the fear is setting in
My trust issues are surfacing
And I'm afraid it wasn't true..
But baby You know I believe you..
I just have some problems to work through

Loving me is going to be a challenge
I'm going to make you want to leave
Make you dread staying
I'm going to ruin your mood and mine
And you're going to have to work overtime

But remember dear, I'm working too
Trying to fix myself so that I can be
Good enough for someone like you
You're my Player 1 and that amazes me
So, I love you. Just bear with me.
