Never had I imagined
how smiles
could give us
the most
painful cuts.

Never had I imagined
how someone's freedom
could mean someone's
loneliness inside.

Never had I imagined
how letting you in
would mean
letting you go
as well.

It's something real, yet intangible;
something no one could ever touch
while everyone could surely see and feel.

We feel it like breeze,
we see it like bubbles.
For a moment it was there,
and then in a blink it was gone.

I hope that
when it touches you,
you embrace it so tight.
So tight before it disapears;

And when you see it,
I hope that you won't miss
to cherish it-
to look at it,
to memorize its corners,
to hear how it sounds like,
to appreciate how it looks like
before it vanishes.

For this precious thing
comes in a form different
to what it'll be
when it comes back.

You'd only meet
one of its many faces
once.

So please...
when it's there in front of you,
feel it.
Just FEEL IT.

I befriended Cupid
in hopes that
he'd be kind enough
to choose
who's best for me.

But one day
I woke up
with an arrow
on my frozen heart.

His name written
on the wall

with a post it
that says...

"We can't fall
for someone
we became friends with."
