you are driving me crazy
running circles on my mind
with protective gears and all
but maybe,
it should be me who needs to wear them right?
you’re drifting recklessly,
switching lanes frequently,
crashing your way through destructively
in a weird orange-coloured car.
i can’t get you out of my mind

you are mine,

            but time took you away

                               —it took us for granted.

on the day that she left
being alone in these sheets,
with a deep empty sigh
i know to myself
that she’s not coming back
i just stayed
i just clinged
i just grasped
not in the hopes of a comeback
but for the foundation that we built
for the time that we spent
for the cigarettes we burned
for the hugs that got tighter every time
for our memories;
for my memories of her,
the only thing that’s left,
the only thing that i can keep
—perpetually.
you aren’t that special and so am i, but why is it difficult to forget you?

we lie to our lovers
just to gain their trust
and tell the truth to strangers,
just to won sympathy
we run from peace,
because we’re afraid
that nothing’s going to be enough
and we embrace storms,
just to feel like the one being saved
to feel we’re worth risking for
we fix the ones we love
and end up ruining them,
we only keep what’s important,
and end up losing them
because maybe
we all have a little bit of
madness inside.

Sometimes, I feel that I still miss you. Not in the sense that I want us to  be together again, because as much as I know that what we had was a beautiful mess, I also know that it died long before our goodbye that Wednesday under the moonlight. I miss you in the sense that when I walk down the hallway of memories that I've known all my life, that there are days when I would just pause, take a deep breathe, gently close my eyes and remembering us walk side-by-side,
we are lost souls blathering about uncovering our own rightful place in this absurd fantasy. I miss you peeking through the shelves of our favourite library, obviously annoyed that it's taking me so long to pick which Murakami book to get to read.

But I think that I'm okay now, but there are really just some honest days, especially when time restraining me alone.
when I couldn't sleep and my mind will cheat on me and wonder about what it would be like if only we didn't drift away from each other. If only we stayed on the same path a little longer and worked things out. Today, as I write this letter— a piece of my heart. I'm starting to forget the sound of your laugh or the way you teases me.


Your alluring face is a bit hazy in my head now.

Your eyes began to shine a bit more dim like the sky when it is crying. But I still miss you in the sense that when I come across with the little things that remind me of you, things we both shared somehow like our  favourite series to get our *** laugh as hard or our love song to vibe on.
There is just really a part of me that just breaks unyieldingly and missing you is the only thing that I could do.

it is i,
who wrote letters with no address,
because each and every word,
is your name.
you have me ever since

your finely drawn diamond-like brown eyes.
those eyes they never lie, i knew when our eyes met - it's going to be my first downfall. my first disaster. my first encounter to an absurd dream.
