I'm sure I look fine.

Days like today,
I want to strip the skin
From my forearms
Using only my fingernails.

Days like today,
I want to wring out
My legs like a washcloth,
Squeeze the rolls on my stomach
Until they're empty.

Days like this,
I want to walk away from my body
forever.

I'm sure I look fine.

J.R.R. Tolkien
All that is gold does not glitter,

Not all those who wander are lost;

The old that is strong does not wither,

Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,

A light from the shadows shall spring;

Renewed shall be blade that was broken,

The crownless again shall be king.

Someone, we’re breathing the same air.
I give my love to the air.
Hoping you can feel it.

Someone, we’re under the same sky.
I give my smile to the sky.
Hoping you’ll smile, when the sky says "Hi".

Someone, we’re oceans apart.
I’ll swim if there’s a little hope.
A little hope that you, as well, will swim.

Someone, please know you are lovely.
And i think it's so lovely to be lovely with someone.
Maybe it's like floating in the air, the skies, and the ocean.

Someone, i will not say goodbye.
I’m just going to float somewhere,
Somewhere i can be with no one.

Then i realized, you were with your another someone.
And, I, could never be, will never be that someone.
Till then, you have my love always, someone.

We could've tried it, but it's too late.
The stars were not align,
for us to feel something.
Something very strange,
you know, like we are floating.

I did not fall when i was still there,
because i seek answers,
Now that i am away, such a cliche.
I am now falling, but you can't catch it.

That stare, creeps me inside.
All i wanted to do is hide.
Hide my smile, so you won't see
Butterflies killing me gently.

I'm just sad, you did not make a move.
So i tend to move away,
Hoping there's really something,
With the way our galaxies meet.

Nothing. You did nothing.
Was i too assuming?
I don't think so.
Because you spoke.

You spoke not in real words,
not even in front of me.
That for me, isn't romantic.
You can't express it just like that.

Maybe we need perfect timing.
Maybe the universe cursed our stars,
to not align or something.
It's just sad to watch the stars, right now.
