Love isn't blind
Love is seeing.

You told me
I wouldn't mind
The flaws of the person
I'd be loving.

That was the time
For you I began falling
For love isn't blind
Love is seeing.

Lately,
it's been so easy
opening doors
and walking away.

Was it you or was it I
Who took the first turn
And said goodbye?

It doesn't matter now
I moved on or haven't
I don't know how.

Then just when I was about to take
The next steps away from you
You came for me.

I have traveled far
But there was nowhere to go
I didn't say no.

*Loving you then
Is like taking a ride back home
After a long time being lost.

Just like a blade of grass in summer
Waiting for the morning dew,
I wait for every 6 a.m.
To catch a feel of you.

When the storyteller of Don Quixote told me that love needs no excessive gestures
I felt it was true
And when you saw those words written on my journal
The same time we found the courage to hold on again
You said it isn't about needing though
It's about wanting
And that was what I've been trying to tell you this whole time
I didn't want you because I need you
I needed you because I want you
I love you
But it was only this time that I realize how true those words were to me
We never needed big surprises in public places
And thousands of pictures and social media posts
Although I would have loved that
Love found no need for labels
To know I have you and you have me, always
I don't think there's anything that could ever encompass what we had
Is there a label that could say we found what love really is with what there was
Love didn't need a hell of a roller coaster ride relationship to prove its worth because
You were right
When you feel it, it'll stay there
You just believe it
Not the kind of belief where you believe in something to make it true
But the kind where you believe because it is true
Love needs no excessive gestures
It only needed you and I
It only needed us, in our little bubble, soft glances, warm smiles, right by each other's side, with certainty and calmness we've never found before
Love needs no excessive gestures
But we had always made it so much more.

Your hands
Over my eyes
I feel
Your breath
Kissing the back
of my head.

Your hands
Over my eyes
They're cold
But please
Do not let go.

Your hands
Over my eyes
I see nothing
But you fill it
With colors,dyes.

Your hands
Over my eyes
I don't mind
Because now
There's only
...
**You and I.

Now there is only
one thing left to say
I love you
Always
That is not a metaphor.

You are
the choice I made
I was sure
of the steps I took
It was like
finally standing
at the front door
opening it
there's home
and realizing
that's all
you ever need.

I never get what I want
so I guess I'll just want
for you to not feel the same
for you to go away
hoping*
just hoping
you'll stay.

Falling in love
Is like flying,
But time will come
When you'd be falling,
And you're only hope
Is someone who'll catch you.

He is just another one of the fallen,
For the queen of hearts and all.

He might have everything
If everything is not with her.

It was hard for you to say no,
I told you you should learn to decline sometimes,
And in the many times you could have said no,
In the very rare moments you did say it,
You said no to me.

Oh baby, it was a tragedy
**We were each other's hamartia.

All my life
I always wanted to leave
You were the only one
Who made me want to stay.

The pain
Is still too much
To be put
Into words.

Nothing's changed.*

You're still
the first person
I'd like to share
these moments with.
