I've learned different languages yet my heart still spoke your name.

I've traveled to many places yet none of it led to your arms.

I've seen the world's different wonders yet nothing compared to the color of your eyes.

I've listened to thousands of songs yet I still prefer the sound of your voice.

I've been taught a lot of things.

I've been taught by you.


You taught me how to love,



but not how to live without yours.

She looks beautiful.

She is filled with grace.

I can't seem to find

a flaw on her face.

I talked to her.

I said

'Darling, won't you be with me?

If you just stay here,

Oh you'll never be lonely.'

She went beside me,

and I wasn't so sad,

and suddenly the world



wasn't so bad.

Love me,
and darling, let me know.
Hold me,
and never let me go.
For your smile is as bright
as the sun on a summer's day.
Those colors in your eyes,
they never go away.
For you are as beautiful
as the roses on a field.
Nothing will ever compare
to the love that you yield.
Oh when i'm beside you
everything is fine.
Everytime you get close,
seems like the stars
will never lose their shine.

You promised,
and said you'd leave me never.
Our love.


I wish it lasted forever.

Leave me,
and darling, let me go.
If you never loved me,
never let me know.
Your smile was my sunshine,
and now it's the pouring rain.
Your laughter sounded like love,
but now all I hear is pain.
The roses have died.
It's petals are decaying on the floor.
I thought the day would never come.
But the stars don't shine anymore.
What if I made things right?
I'd take out the flowers I hid.
What if I made things right?
If only.

If only I did.

You promised.
You said you'd leave me never.
You also taught me

that nothing can last forever.

You used to be my warmth.
But you went as cold as snow.
Hurt me,
and I'll still never find
courage to let go.

Maybe there's still a chance.
Maybe things won't
fade to black.
Maybe one day
maybe one day I'll have you back.

Maybe you'll bring back the sun.
And protect me from the rain.
Maybe one day,
it won't be hard for you.
For you
to love me again.

Darling, you can break me
into a million pieces
that again may not fit.
I will only put them back
together
and love you with it.

Day by day,
you know I've prayed.
Because without you
I am nothing
but afraid.

I'm holding on to something
that I can never get back,
I will still be here, though.
I think I've given up

with trying to let go.

In this sea of faces,
yours is all I see.
In a room bursting with sunshine,
your eyes would be the one
to give light to me.
Are you happier with him
than you were with me?
Well, I want you to know
that wherever you are
I'm just hoping you're happy.
I hope he was your puzzle's
perfect missing piece.
I hope he's the perfect song
that always puts your mind at ease.
I hope he's the cup of coffee
or the fuzzy blanket that keeps you warm.
I hope he's the shelter to hide in
in the midst of a storm.
I wish I was the smile in your face,
the person that fills you with glee.
That person you gave yourself to,
I wish
I wish that was me.
I wish you well,
and my 'goodbyes', I bid.
I wish I've done all the things



that I never did.

Every morning I wake
I put a mask on my face
A mask covered
with smiles and laughter
A persona that believes
in a happy ever after
Every morning I wake
I put on new eyes
So I can pretend
I never saw how
you felt inside
So I can pretend
I never saw
the tears that you cried
So I can pretend
I couldn't see
how our love has died
Every morning I wake
I put on new skin
So I won't feel your touch
that reminds me
of what we could have been
Every morning I wake
I break my own heart
Because maybe I'll forget
how badly you tore it apart


Every morning I wake
I put a mask on a face
to make people believe
every smile
that I fake

I hear them whisper, "it won't last long.”  
Won't you help me prove them wrong?

I doubt
material wealth
means anything
in the afterlife
on the off chance
that I'm wrong
bury me
with my books
and my plastic owl.
