If one is never fully dressed without a smile
Then I must be naked all the time
I was leaning over the railings
Of your condominium's 11th floor fire exit.
It was a beautiful night, just a clear sky
Filled with stars.
I was smoking then while
You were just standing right behind me,
I leaned a little bit more.
You told me to stand back
"Aren't you scared?"
I told you that i have conquered
My fear of heights
Long before we spoke again
After weeks of complete silence.
I wasn't lying.
I wasn't afraid of falling—
dying anymore.
But that morning,
Your hands around my waist,
Lips on the nape of my neck
Just breathing,
I drowned.
My throat closed up,
My lungs filled with your scent,
My heart got heavier.
Your touch wasn't supposed to make me
Feel every inch i loved about you.
I was falling again,
Dying for your love;
I thought i have conquered my fear.

"Aren't you scared?"
Terrified.

The times you made me laugh
The many times we spent so happy together
And the countless times
I thought how important you were to me
But it was too late when I realized that I love you

On every moment I spent with you
The world seemed happier
No pretensions, no worries when I’m with you
‘coz in front  of you, just a simple ‘me’ is enough
You accept everything about me
No stain of judgement in your eyes
That is why you mean so much to me
But it was too late when I realized that I love you

One day I woke up
And realized that you were more than a friend
More than just important to me
But I shook that thought away thinking it was just temporary
Afraid how our friendship will change if I let those feeling take over
I chose to keep those feelings hidden, to avoid my secrets to spill,
I distanced myself from you
Hoping for the feelings to cease

But I did not see that the distance was already too far
Too far that you could not see me any longer
You forgot about me
My existence

Now you are with someone else
Another person have replaced my position
My position, my place beside you

All is lost,
Now everything is over
The times I spent laughing, happy with you is all gone
It was only then that I realized
That I love you

I LOVE YOU.
*And it’s too late to say it.
There are times when we become fools..
We love someone too much to the point that we make a fool of ourselves..
But there are times that we become real fools, because we only realize someones worth, that we love them, when they're already gone.

Don’t leave someone
Who had done nothing but wait
But if you must go
Then leave...
But  leave me with a promise,
That to my side
You’ll come back
