I'm afraid that one day I will no longer remember the way you walk or the way you eat, or the way you write, the way you speak, or the way you tilt your head when you look at me, even the way you make your eyebrows meet. Or how you pull me closer, or hold my hands, or smell my hair, even the way it makes you jokingly wanna puke.

I'm afraid that one day I will no longer remember the taste of your lips, the shape of your face, the smell of your skin, the sound of your voice, the texture of your palms, the places of your scars, or moles, or your calluses.

I'm afraid that one day I will forget everything that matters..
*But the thing I fear the most is having to wake up one day
and feel forgotten.. by you.

Like a lion crying for a mouse's rescue
or a caged bird seeking for the sky,
I need you

Like a shore that dries up without the ocean
or the moon longing for the glimpse of the sun,
I miss you

Like a star I spent the night wide awake
searching for the right metaphor to say
but in the end I cannot conclude
for nothing compares
to
how
much
*I love you

Sometimes
pain
is not there
to grow you
or hone you

Sometimes
pain doesn't
even make you
stronger
or better

Sometimes
pain
just hurts
and
sometimes
you
deserve it

Sometimes
pain...
is for
someone
who's not
even worth it

"Five years of friendship, I don't think I have seen you cried."

"I honestly don't remember the last time I cried."

"That's a good thing then?"

"No. My tears are all dried up."

I thought about it
on and on
and on

and on

Til I realized
I am my own
before I am anyone else's
I am free
But I am scared
of being too free


Too much liberty
Can cage me

I could have fought harder
but at the back of my mind
I always knew

that even if I win all the battles
I would lose the war

because the things
I believed that are meant for me
are exactly the things
that would never be mine

They say you cannot give what you do not have, I do not agree. I have given more than what I have - with more than I can ever give, even if I feel empty - to people who may or may not deserve it

Because in fixing other people's hearts, I fix mine; in changing other people's lives, I change mine.
I may be empty, but I am complete.

Hope but do not expect
Love but do not demand

Move, but do it forward
Visit yesterday, but do not stay

Walk away from the people
who let you go away

Push me away
I will stray

Pull me closer
I will stay

Lift one finger
I will flutter

Lift all up
I will jump

Everything you want
You just command

I will do all
Even fall

It will make me numb
But don't worry about it
I'm already broken
to begin with

My lips are sealed
My mind is blank

Just pull the string
no matter how thin
You'll see me coming
back to you, *Darling

i asked you
a thousand times before
to write me a letter
no matter how short or
no matter how long
because i fall harder for words

for almost four years
you didnt write to me
not even once

and when you finally did
you dont know how happy
you made me feel receiving
a six page letter
handwritten
front and back
it goes

it goes...
and it cuts..
these paper cuts
they bleed

*but not as much as the words you said

I feel like I lost something. But I can't figure out what, or is it a "who." Whatever it is, I forgot the how's.

I can't sleep. I'm trying to remember what it felt like holding that thing again.. I can't remember. Maybe I forgot how it felt like to be whole, or maybe that thing was not really mine from the start. Oh my god... what if I lost something that wasn't mine? Is that even possible?

I'm panicking. I can't remember if it was myself that I lost. What if I never really lost anything.. what if I'm just losing myself..again. I don't wanna go back to being incomplete.

"Hi. Do you hear me? Can you read this? Have you seen her? She looks a lot like me...but happier."

Once
there was an abandoned house
with cobwebs
and spiders
as its guests
It felt empty for too long

until
one day
there was a lost boy
who found a place to stay

And even if the boy
could not stay much longer

the house continued to be his shelter
and he continued to be its guest
guest (n.) someone who pays a visit

Let's not break our usual chains
just to be jailed into a new one

And He
He doesn't take things

But she and he

indifferent
What was left unsaid,
it was real

There'a something subtly terrifying about the sound of the clock - tick tock tick tock - like it's the world's reminder that we shouldn't waste our time on something unimportant. Yet, here we are writing our hearts out, never knowing if these words create an impact.

But I have to gamble. Read or not.
I choose hope.
"Hope" how lovely that word is. I think hope is the most beautiful word, at par with faith and love. It is belief in the positive, belief in all good things, belief that the future is good even if it's yet to be seen.

*"May your choices reflect your hopes and not your fears"

I've been scribbling words about you, I haven't looked at the clock til now - it's 17 minutes past 7. I may be late for work.

I have written several nonsense letters, wondering if I already wasted more ink than I should, thinking how many of these words have you already heard, and doubting if they would mean something more once you read them.

These words, these are the things I want you to know but would never tell you.

But these words, they don't really matter, do they? These words can't make you stay, or flinch even.

Because the things you told me that matter, they didn't. And even if they did, we won't do anything about it.

These letters, they would remain unsent.

I will keep on writing
until I run out of words
until I run out of thoughts
I will keep on writing
until I can no longer
write your name
I will keep on writing
until I can forget
like how you did
or like what you're doing

I will keep on writing
until I can no longer feel
whatever it is you made me feel
I will keep on writing
until I can no longer read
the words you have written
that I've assumed
are for me

I will keep on writing
I will write you away
I will write the pain away

I will keep on writing
until my heart accepts
until these what ifs stop
until these maybes disappear

I will keep on writing
until I can no longer write
about you
about us
about how much
about how late
about how
about what
about when
about why

I will keep on writing
until I can finally put the period
that would end everything

I will keep on writing
until I stop
and when I do stop
you'll know
that even though it was so hard for me
I no longer, nor will ever
write again for you


So here it is
