Why should the first line of a story
Be in harmony with the last?
If love was a song, I would rather
Not play the end if it doesn’t match

But the first second of that moment
Was like a prologue in a book
I was eager to explore the pages
With my mind and heart ready for surprises

It is a story of us, or just about me
With great mystery to explore
Confusions and words unknown to us
Set a certain hymns and feels inside

Then questions rushed like this:
What if I face my fears?
What if I venture out of nowhere?
Would you see me?

If I sail over the moon
Can I really find you?
But if the moon doesn’t glow
I will never see a glimpse of you

If I go beyond the mountains
Can I finally reach you?
But if mountains were higher than hopes
I would be forced to quit

If I walk through dark valleys
Can I prove myself to you?
But if I became frightened of possibilities
I would not move from here

If I swim through the clouds
Can you meet me in the air?
But if you are not sure to fly
I will just stay with the sky.

If I force myself to be a flower in the fields
Would you choose and pick me?
But if great flowers exist before me
I would rather stay as a grass.

I closed the book
I looked to the mirror and ask myself
Then I finally became brave to
Accept the fact, the truth

Finally understood that life is still fair
Even if you became a part of my reality
If at least I can see you, I am happy with it
Not expecting that you will see me

If that moment was just a story
Cloudless skies, I dance through it
I will cherish every colour of the rainbows
And I will paint it with wishes and smiles

If that moment was just for a day
Or a dream that can be erased by time
I will brave enough to write it
And keep it up to the end

If that moment was just a story
A story in a book, in a world of sunshine
I will read it again
And fall in love with it all over again

How can I pretend my love
Pretend that this maze
Will come to an end?

How can I assume
Things will be worth it?
Hoping, sometimes dreaming

I also ask myself
*How can I cross the bridge
If I still dwell in the memory of you?
1:00 AM poem. My mind is so active in writing poems in these early hours.

What is worse than being
Confused about how
And what I feel about you.

My mind says,
"I'm afraid to love you"
But my heart says
*"I'm much more afraid to lose you"

I remember the night
I was awake with all my might
Watching stars above my head and
Asking myself, "do I really need to bend?"

I tried to be so flexible about adjusting
I really had a hard time believing
Convinced to meet high expectations
Prepared for numerous explanations

Then I also asked myself why
Why am I still giving it a try
Letting a chance to enlighten my mind
Of all the things I need to find

Letters before were already at their best
But now, even x's and y's are written on the test
Never ending solution sets to a question
***** of a line, and its points, and its equation

How can I distinguish velocity
To the speed of a car in a city
Almost all terms have the same meaning
And for me they are just repeating

Solving for sine, cosine and tangent
Is like choosing a question in a pageant
I do not know what to choose at first
Pick the best and things will be reversed

Speed of a car, man, and even horses
Together with others make up my courses
Drawing tables, graphs and designs
Follow this path covered with lines

Balancing formulas in chemistry
Is just like balancing your time with artistry
Critical conversion of units taught me
To give a careful approach to arrive at the key

I was wondering how I survived
Those tiring days that arrived
As I walk on the stage of honor with gladness
I can't help but cry with happiness

Success doesn't end in accomplishing
Hardwork is always followed by polishing
Experiences mold you to be better
Only if you aspire to be like no other

Years and year passed away
Roads and bridges gave a better way
Skyscrapers and buildings soared high
As I looked up and admired the sky

Now, as I take my white hard hat with me
Flashbacks of the past, that's what I see
Before it was only just a dream
But now, it is a success to redeem

I smile as I look up the sky again and
Whisper that dreams won't come to an end
Showers of wishes will ever be in our hearts
And no one can ever take away any of its parts
Dedicated to all civil engineering students
"I've never seen pieces from different puzzles fit together,"
I said.
"So?"
He asked.
"So. Maybe that's why we're like this,"
I said.
