I'm in love with the idea of being in love,
Of kissing a boy, of having enough.
I trust in the process of having trust,
Of flying free like the happiest dove.
I'm in love with the idea of being in love,
But more so in love with all of the above.
This one's a little weird, but I like it.

“i want to be the air you breath”
  “it's suffocating”

“i want to be the clothes you wear”
  “i'd feel constrained”

“i want to spend more time with you”
  “not everything is about you”

“i want to feel more secure about us”
  “sounds like a personal problem”

“i want to be loved”
  “you're asking for too much”

I never saw a man who looked
with such a wistful eye
upon that little tent of blue
which prisoners called the sky,
and at every drifting cloud that went
with sails of sliver by.

I walked, with other souls in pain,
within another ring,
and was wondering if the man had done
a great or a little thing,
when a voice behind me said,
"The man's got to swing"

For he did not wear scarlet
nor did he speak of it,
for blood and wine were red
and so was the color on his bed.

He looked upon the garish day
with such a wistful eye;
the man had killed the thing he loved,
and so he had to die.

pressure makes diamonds
but humans are too delicate
their fragile hearts easily shaken
if you put too much pressure
they'll only end up

before i knew it,
it wasn't february anymore

gone are the days
where i longed for the rain
in the afternoon heat

now it was august here
and the monsoon season
made our once empty backyard
fill with mangosteens and rambutans

it downpours every day
i finally got what i wanted in february
but ironically, i find myself missing
the afternoon heat once again

i hate being chained
to this feeling

i hate being in this cycle
of constant longing

only six months have passed
but so have you

and i have to learn how to adapt
to the change of seasons
and loneliness
once again

i need to stop attaching
your face to love songs
and romanticizing a love
that was never real
