I have no need
to be indestructible,
I am alright as I am -
with my bleeding
heart,
I know
I am alive.

Of the two of us,
you need to be stronger...
Not because I'm weak,
but because
I don't know
how not to be strong.
I've been raised
to have my chin up and
head proud,
so, my dear,
I ask that you
steel yourself more,
you need to be stronger...
Because we need to accept
that there's a possibility that
we won't be good for each other anymore...
when love alone will no longer suffice...
My prince, please be stronger -
Walk away when you feel
that we are slowly dying
out of loving each other.
We are only human,
I am only human,
I will fight for us,
but I will not care if it's right.
See, that's why you
need to be stronger...
I ask that you fall deaf to my pleas,
I ask that you close your eyes and
walk away...
I will not hold in against you -
I will not.
So please, be strong enough
for the both of us,
when you feel tired and when
our love is nothing but poison to our hearts,
I pray that you
will have the courage to
break my heart.
Walk away and don't look back.
The last thing I want
is to hold you back...
Please be strong enough to let go
even if I'm still holding on.
Leave me be and
I will understand.
I will not keep you from happiness.
I will never forgive myself if I do.

Don't rescue me,
when that time comes,
think not of me as your princess...
I am a bitter queen keeping you from
your happy ending...

And until I find my North Star, I am but a traveler fumbling here and there, forever wandering aimlessly...

Hey, can you do me a favor?

Let me know once it stopped, okay?

Tell me.

Tell me no matter how much it may hurt me,
tell me once you stop being in love with me.
Let me know when your heart no longer whispers my name.
Tell it to my face,
that it’s over.
I don’t want to hear it from someone else,
please at least have the guts to tell me
that you don’t love me anymore.
I know it sounds pessimistic,
but can you blame me?
We live in a very unpredictable world;
one thing can turn to another within a span of a second.
I don’t want to deal with a heartbreak because I ended up believing that love is all about hearts and flowers. And that love can withstand anything. I don’t believe in forever.
I believe in the now.
See, I can’t promise you these superficial things and vague whatnots.
I can only give you what I have now.

And I don’t expect you to promise me the stars and the moon,
no, don’t give me forever.
Don’t give me something you don’t have.
I don’t want to hope for something that may end up nothing.
Save me from the heartache of believing in love too much.
The sad thing is that we can’t even promise our tomorrow.
We don’t hold the universe in our hands,
we don’t know what will happen next,
we are no seer.

So, here I am, promising you my now
and only asking you the same.

So tell me when you don’t love me anymore.
I want to hear it from your lips with your own voice.
I want to hear the same voice that told me iloveyous,
telling me the idontloveyouanymore.

Tell me once you are slipping away,
but I won’t promise that I will not try to keep you,
because I will,
I am only a human too.
Promise me that no matter how broken I become,
you will walk away,
because you don’t love me anymore.
I don’t want you staying because of pity,
you can walk away with the memories:
I’ll keep what I need,
and you walk away with yours.

I won’t blame you, no, I really won’t.
I will cry, but all the same,
don’t comfort me.
Let me mourn the death of a love I once had.

So,
If ever this shall end…
Please tell me and have the decency to
break my heart properly.

Sometimes we forget
the things we don't see.
We look at the smiles
and think it's okay...
We hear laughter,
someone's happy...
We are so painfully human
that we take things
at face value...

And we forget that
most fatal wounds
are often unseen, unvoiced.

Inches away
from each other's presence
Miles apart
from each other's world...
I couldn't leave mine,
And you wouldn't
leave yours.
See who's keeping the distance?

How painful it is to see
The possibility of true love
In someone's eyes,
And knowing that
The world will not take
Your side as you fight
Against all odds
For the impossible....
