Day and night would be
The only thing separating you and me
You loved the sun, I adored the moon
Our love I knew won't matter soon

But before words be said and done
I wish to finally become the one
To finally own up to the words
"I would choose you over any other world"

Be it the moon, be it the sun
Be it my face when tears dry run
Just for a moment let me be
The one who'll choose you over me

Time I knew is of the essence
You and I could be less in mere seconds
So I'll save my tears for our next life
To where I know this love may survive

Look away and don't smile
Don't look into my eyes
I knew those views will only hurt
Crush and tear my heart apart

Polar opposite faces of a coin
Different yet fates rejoined
You loved the sun, I adored the moon
This love I knew will wither soon

And when you certainly do depart
I will let you go and see it's worth
To the next life, I'll be--
Waiting for us to finally be

Honey, you can smile now
Free your emotions running loose
As summer comes through
Picture the days
With better skies

Help yourself with the breeze
Brushing excitedly against--
Each crease along your skin
Remember how these sceneries
Would be the first of many

Leave everything on the bay
And watch the waves carry it away
Honey, worry not and hope
For everyday to be like
The summer we'll spend

Brace for brighter days
As we clear your clouded world
Savor the better days
Honey, worry not
You can smile now
Kent Delos Reyes Apr 2020
For a long time I tried
To hold on to these tears
All the while realizing
How each drop is a part of me
I could have saved

Dear and close to my heart
Are each memory I have of you
All undeniably good times
And they only get better and better
As time regrettably pass

I would not want to waste another day
Crying on the thought of us
Daydreaming maybe, just maybe
You would eventually find your way
Back to me, again

We could have been a beautiful story
Two platonic worlds colliding
But fantasies will always be
As disappointing as the life
I am struggling to live
Kent Delos Reyes Mar 2020
Consider how affectionate
The stars should be
Just to share
A bit of your curiosity

Say, how the light that seemed
To flicker even in the darkest
Part of the cold night
Have rendered itself helpless

I tried to be a still wave
On a rampaging ocean
Just to have something in your life
Unmoving and predictable

Years and years gone by
Yet, you still can't shake the eeriness
Of the thought of us
Standing still for an eternity

So, I sat before you
While you gaze upon the blanket
Of the stars I wish I've laid
Hoping for you to keep your words

Not here, not now
Please, let me forget
The impending scene
Where you'd become a speck

On a heap of yesterday's memory.
Kent Delos Reyes Feb 2020
I always thought this could never last
As fate always finds a way
To keep me away from you

But since the day you taught me how
To feel obliged and hurt myself,
I crossed a line I could never see

Finally, a bittersweet touch
On an unending search of fulfillment
That took an awful lot of time

Just to finis--

Up until the day I say
The words I were meant to bear
These hands will hold you tight
Tight as ever been

The end may come near
The world may cease to be
But this hand will unfailingly be
The light you can constantly seek

Thread the impassable route
Fear no storm in the sea
For when you are with me
You are with your lighthouse
Kent Delos Reyes Oct 2019
Know that when the dawn breaks
And the first sound you hear
Is the unfaltering beat of your heart
I would be there holding your hands

Because of all the hands there is
Yours are what mine yearns
And of all the faces I know
Yours is what I see in my sleep

Stay, for old times sake
And leave when I can be
At peace with this lingering thought
That you moved on with your life

Granted these words are selfish
All I wish is for you to be with--
The person that will guide you home
Again

Stay, for old times sake
Leave if you want to
Be the person that will--
Guide you home

Again
