the twinkle in your eye,
your evergrowing mind,
the love within your smile,
you dance just like a child

the softness of your touch,
a heart that grows so much,
you are more than enough,
and all of the above

the warmth of your existence,
grows fonder by the instance
it's you in all your essence,
with you i feel abundance

the troubles of the past,
is completely by contrast
we may move too fast,
but i can love you, at last

my love,
your strength is blinding,
your courage, shining
how did you survive
all the fighting and
all the crying?

you did stop
and think “it’s wrong”,
yet you carried on?
knew you had to be strong
and be there for mom
because she was always alone

here you are today,
going your own way
and seizing the day.
waiting for someone to say,
“now i’m here to stay
because you’re worth it, babe”

meet me when the sun sets on the horizon,
when the moon takes its place in the sky
and the stars show up for the night

the ten minutes you wait for your coffee,
when you glance at your watch idly,
and think about what love could be

just know that it was always you,
the one who encapsulated my heart,
even though we were always thousands of miles apart

coming back to you feels like home,
no matter how often the seasons change,
it was you and i who forever remained

here’s to the day we finally meet:
i feel you more and more everyday
and for your arrival, i will pray

oh, saturn
won’t you loosen up
and let your worries go?

how he thrives,
on the pain and power
of those weaker

the balance lost,
and the love was gone
like a bittersweet symphony

i swore it was love,
but the pure agony
was sorrowful poetry

still he said, “venus,
won’t you give me all
and every piece of you?”

but i refused,
because who would i be
if i forgot the essence of me?

the familiarity right in front of my eyes,
that was you, the reminiscent of a beautiful sunrise
like the morning light after a dark storm,
you were a sweet release, the ultimate sense of warmth

i knew all of your favorite songs and sentiments,
and you, all of my complicated brilliance
the way you lovingly flashed your bright smile,
i became aware that you would be around for awhile

how could it be that you were always standing there?
one-sided knowing that it was love, that just wasn't fair
maybe it was for me to realize it on my own.
that no one else but you could be my home

a short phase of my life,
that happened to be you

the morning light
and you were here,
the setting sun,
your presence was mere

i absorbed the lessons
you had to give,
and realized the growth,
i needed to live  

the love you showed me
was more than enough,
the highest of highs,
you took me above

like a haiku,
pleasing and concise
i could never forget you,
my lovely vice

time never mattered with us;
because the distance between you and i
was only but a couple thousand miles

love never lessened between us;
because i always felt your presence in me,
and i saw what, someday, we could be

words never lost meaning to us;
because your message was loud and clear,
how could i mistaken your love, my dear?

silence never discouraged us;
because you were always by my side,
and i can’t wait for the chance to call you mine
