i've been building my future
on the ruins of yesterday
a future that seems to be
incapable of making a home
for love to stay.

let these cracks be the gates where love penetrates
let these wounds be the testament to your strength
let this pain be the reminder of the life you're living
let your healing be the reassurance that God is with you.

like an encounter between
the sun and the moon

our eyes always seem to almost meet
but never really did

darling, how i wish
just to catch a glance at you

to behold the beauty lied underneath
and learn about all your secrets

like an encounter between
the sun and the moon

i would give up my light
to be with you even only for a while.

you cannot deny the existence of love
once it is sparked inside your chest
you can only put out its flame
often with your tears.

i wish i could set myself free
like a balloon drifting in the breeze
with no direction
no feelings
that could weigh me down
but i'm afraid
there will come a day
the balloon loses its air
flying nowhere
being forgotten
i only hope
love will keep me floating
and make sure that i won't drift away
so i thank you
for holding on to me.

have you ever had a dream so real
you wake up thinking that
perhaps this whole life is just a nightmare?

these words may never get to you
but for what it's worth
i write to set my feelings free
to make room for things that can save me.

darkness is not always scary
as long as the light inside you still burns.

i have this feeling roaring in my chest
it drags me into its gyre
and i drown
deeper than the depth of the ocean
i call out your name in despair
the thought of you
turns my sorrow into poetry
and slowly lifts me up
wave after wave
so i get addicted to this poetic emotion
the feeling that's roaring in my chest.

neither of us is breaking the silence
as if we're trying to listen
to the conversation between our hearts
only to realize
that'd be the most we ever talk.

i picture your face
in my head
and let it crush my heart
in order for this poem
to be yours.

i'd rather have my heart shattered
than to carry the weight of its emptiness
i'd rather be left alone
than to feel lonely in a room full of people
i'd rather die today
than to face the darkness of tomorrow.

what if you meet the right person at the wrong time,
will you take a leap of faith to taste the love that won't last
or will you walk away to protect your heart?

i will try not to avoid your eyes
and tell you how special you are to me
meanwhile
please keep those eyes locked on mine.

love doesn't always make sense
just love
selflessly and wholeheartedly
the only thing that matters
is to make someone happy.
