Imagine the universe
Isn't it amazing
Filled with planets, satellites,
Comets, galaxies, stars and those alike
Millions, or billions of galaxies and stars
The uncertainty of the number is like life
You never know your number, and no enticement whatsoever

Galaxies and stars
What's between them is empty
An open space, largely empty
The emptiness is like life, at the very start of it
Where you don't know anyone nor anything
And as life happens, you fill these gaps
Just like how we try to fill the universe with our fabricated imagery.
Let life happen
I saw such a thing of beauty near the aisle--
She was shimmering,
Her teeth was shining
And with that she wore the perfect smile.

One day, she wore a white dress.
Like an angel in the sky--
Perhaps, she could even make me fly!

We were soon to part and--
I couldn't let it pass
So I've decided to say, "Hey,"
Hello to you a thing of beauty.

She smiled and laughed at me--
It was annoyingly amazing.
It was like a fantasy, fantastic.

Her laughter, what a beautiful start.
She's lovely, like a sparkling star.
I didn't expect much at all--
But from nothing to something; it's a beginning.

Days have passed and each day I miss seeing my thing of beauty--
Each day my duty is more adoration for you truly.
This thing of beauty that I once could only stare at;
Is now somewhat a part of me that they can look at.

Once, this thing of beauty called out my eyes.
"They are shining, and sparkling!" She said.
For I, myself, didn't even realize this so
But I wondered, is that such a bad thing though?

In that very moment I knew,
that maybe the both of us were scared.
It was indeed terrifying,
but only because it was real.

With reality, mistakes are inevitable
and to her I may be unbearable.
I am to blame for my shortcomings,
To win her back, I'd do all sorts of things

Mistakes have been made,
goodbyes have been told.
Hope is what remains ---
for this heart that unknowingly complains.
To the one I hope would come back
Sometimes we find ourselves in the valley of unhappiness
It's a dark place you wouldn't want to be in
It's inevitable and sometimes we need to confess;
We're only here because of our own sin

We do sin for love however,
For love and life is like a maze, a puzzle with only one way
It doesn't mean though that there's no forever
And in the extremity of it all, I know that all is going to be okay

We have troubles trying to find the words to say.
"I love you." are the words we often try so hard to find,
and we tend to find alternatives so our feelings could convey--
but most of the time, love doesn't really need words in mind
Most of time, Love doesn't really need words, you know?
Stop! With whatever you're doing,
And think, just for a moment
Is this you? Is this what you want?

Admit it, it's inevitable
Don't try to stop it,
And just let life happen

Do the things you want
Say the things you need to say
Pursue thy dreams you long for

Do it all now, else
you might end up wondering
What could have been

— The End —
