Can I tell you "I love you" everyday,
until it fades away?

I want my confession of love to be my closure,
but my anxious heart knows it is not the answer.
It may ruin the peace that I am building,
the peace that I deserve for my healing.

"I love you", Yes!
but I love myself more.
If I have to choose between saving us, our memories
and saving myself.
I will always choose me, Josephine Mary..

I love how your smile shine like sunbeams.
A spellbound, like one of my sweetest dreams.

The rays touch my cold skin,
It brings warmth to my heart, it dwells within.

I love how your voice can be dark and bold.
Like how you smoothly take my hand for you to hold.

You are the Sun who is blazing and fiery at noon break.
My only heartbeat, my unrequited love but not a heartache.

Loving you can hurt a little while,
but you have become my happiness—
my biggest smile.

Missing you is like a burning flame.
I can be merry and weary every time I say your name.

You may be far, out of my reach, a heart that I cannot claim.
Always know that my love is real, it can wait, I will still love you the same.

You are my red, yellow, orange hue.
Strong and bright like my feelings too.
This is a heartbeat that I’ll whisper to the sky.
A love for my dearest Sun on a calm sunrise.

and when I miss you, I look at the Sun.
He reminds me so much of you.

You are my little sunshine, the sunbeam that tickles my cheek.

The blazing heat that warms my racing heartbeat.

The love that I tried to confess.

The secret in between my poetry.

I lost all my senses when I met you.
My directions were crooked,
My mind went blank,
I became dependent.

Your touch felt like home.
Will I ever be welcome when the time comes that I'll knock on your door?

The truth is, I am afraid of the answer,
I might not be able to handle the truth.

So I'd rather stay in silence with all of my what ifs until dawn.

I do always love sunsets,
like how I take in your flaws.

Like how the light shines in the middle of the fast-eating darkness.

You are the sunset.
Beautiful and promising.
Gentle and calm.

The little secret I keep. ♥️
