A bottle of beer in front of you,
it promise you to blow away your pain,
your insecurity,
your heartache,
drink a little bit..

Now, you're alone in your room,
even though you refused to be alone tonight,
you have no one, admit it.. you're lonely..
drink a little bit..

It's rain outside,
you're staring out of your window..
you start to sob,
you're just too tired to face this rude, rude world..
drink a little bit..

You buy this cheap beer,
just because you will easily fall asleep when you're drunk..
and you hope tomorrow, you can smile again,
like tonight is never happen..
Well, your beer promise that..
drink a little bit..

Tonight, you refuse to think about that man..
the one who makes you think that missing him is a mistake,
because you know that he doesn't even care about you..
now, drink a little bit more..

Your bottle is empty already,
so how?
*Does you beer really blow your pain away like its promise?
Philia Sep 2018
"I love you,
please don't leave me.",
he said.

I smiled.
I reply nothing.

For all my life,
I used to be that someone that said,
"I love you too."
"it's always been you."

I once to be that person who gave those empty words,
as I live happily after they left me.

I didn't see the need of giving those *******
to you;
as you are the one I care about.

I cannot lie to you;
& to myself.

But, I promise you,
for sure;
when I do really love you.
& I do really want to live my life with you in it,
Every day.
I'll let you know.

Maybe someday, some things that are too good to be true will become one of your biggest struggles

Maybe in one point of time, you learn how things work.
People change,
People go.

Maybe when everything is not in your favor anymore,
you will learn how to survive, instead of just giving up.

Maybe when everything is a mess,
you will learn how to be stronger,
how to forgive,
and how to let things go.

Maybe the story is not as beautiful as you want to be,
but when you know that he is the right person to be with,
Why would you even think twice to just sit and understand?

Maybe everything is not as magical as when you first started everything,
but you know he worths your struggle, then why even bother?

Everybody change, it is inevitable.
but you know yourself which one is worth the pain, and which one is not.
Philia Nov 2013
Falling in love with you,
is so easy.
I can fall for you all over again
Everyday.

Falling in love with you,
is so hypnotising.
I'm spelled by your charm.
Every single second.

Falling in love with you,
is so addicted.
I can smile for no reason because of you.
Every night.

Falling in love with you,
is oh-so-fairytale.
it's like, you are the prince,
riding your white horse, and come to me.
Make me fall for you.
Every time.
flashback hits me so hard.
Philia Feb 2021
I never ask you to call me your little princess;
I never ask you to hug me when I cried,
or kiss me good night;
I never ask you to be there for me.

well, they said, a father is a daughter's first love.
well, then I said that's *******.

Never in a million years,
I expect that my first heartbreak is from my own father.
long before any boy had the chance to.

I still remember when I was 7,
I already cursed him under my breath,
I even wrote about it in one of my very first diaries.

Sad to be true, but now I am almost 26.
19 years I live with all these wounds that never really healed.

I never asked him to love me.

Just stop hurting me.
Just stop hurting my feelings.
Philia Jul 2018
So she met her first love,
Today
In a hot Sunday Morning
After a long long while.

Her heart still skips the beat,
She smiled at him,
Shy; just like 10 years ago;
When she was only 13.

She thought, she’s over it.
Yeah, she’s over it,
But, first love never really truly dies.

..or does it?
Philia Feb 2014
I remembered my first love.
I remember how it feels,
how it tastes,
how it sounds..

so kind,
so naive,
so pure,
so sweet,
so stupid.

I remembered my first heart break.
I remember how it feels,
how it tastes,
how it sounds.

so awful,
so painful,
so nauseous,
so paralysing
so stupid.

however, I've got no regret.
I smile and yeah, whatever

everything happens for a reason.
and I don't want to know the reason why.
*wink
Philia May 2019
It is always a perfect sunny day before a dark stormy hurricane.

Love is always the prettiest right before you finally disappointed, again.
Philia Sep 2016
When I look at you,
I remember my last Summer.
When I spend a day in Rome,
that day was so hot,
I was wearing stripes tee and Adidas cap,
Not a cute outfit, I admit.
Under the Sun, I walked by the crowd.
it was Fontana di Trevi
throw your dimes into the fountain, they said.
one dime, then you will go back to Italy.
two dimes, then you will find your true love.
Well, I've been always a fan of this superstitious thing,
Whenever I find a wishing well, or anything that will grant you a wish,
I'm on it.
So I turned my back to the fountain, and I threw two dimes behind my shoulder.
All at once.

And this Autumn, *I have you.
Philia Aug 2016
Falling for you is like free falling.

I couldn't help it,
I couldn't control it.

I don't wanna stop.
Philia Aug 2016
We both know that we are so special to each other,
but we both know that this won't go anywhere.
But I know, what we have is real.
Philia Jul 2018
”I think I’m in love with him.”

She finally got to admit.
At least to her true self.

”I think I’m in love with him.”

She whispers,
To her phone.
Even for today,
she keeps it “good night.”
.
Philia Jan 2015
The moon rise,
it appears in a beautiful dawn sky..

The sky is getting darker,
as the stars start to blink their shine..

I saw you there,
At the corner of the alley,
waving to me..

And I know for sure,
It's gonna be a good night.
Your smile is calming me down,
as I walk down to you..

I'm falling for you,
*all over again..
Philia Aug 2015
You probably the best that I could have.
You bring back the smile, and the happiness.

Even in my darkest night, I can found you there.
Makes me wanna be the best of me.

You make me so happy.
Philia Feb 2016
She met that Taurian last summer.
When everything was a mess;
He came to her life in a blink of an eye and made everything so much brighter to her.

She cherishes her day from that very moment.
She always convinces herself that he is the one that God sent her to be hers.
She knows that he is the one.

But she was young and stupid.
She lost him twice,
because of her own stupidity.

She thought, there is somebody who's better than Taurian.
So she left him, without a trace.
She is wrong.
and you know, you can't treat Taurian that way.

This Valentine's day,
When she's trying to make things right,
he replies her,
"Nope, it's okay. I'm your friend."

and from that moment,
*she knows, she is doomed.
Philia Aug 2016
He kissed her hand,
She never knew that it would make her feel like a princess in a god-**** fairytale.

He kissed her forehead,
She never knew that it would make her feel so loved.

He kissed her cheek,*
She never knew that she would be falling this hard for him.
Philia Jun 2020
He's the memory she wants to forget.
A Summer Fling;
The one that still makes her wonder.
It's Him.

She opens her eyes this morning,
It's been awhile since She thinks about him.
In her dreams last night, everything looks so vivid.
Everything looks so real.

Are dreams made of what we want to happen?
Or is it just don’t actually mean anything?

She promised to stop thinking & talking about Him.
Let her break her promise just for today.

He looks so handsome in her dream.
He smiled at her. and she smiled back, awkwardly.
He drove her home & they talked about many things
Things that she cannot remember when she woke up.

He drove her home & smiled.*
Thing that is never happened in the real life.

If she insists that she didn't love him before,
then why is she still wondering?
Philia Sep 2013
If I ain't Christian,
I'll be an anti-monogamy.
I'll collect all guys' hearts and ****** them.
I'll show them, my beauty and make them fall and never get back on the ground.
If I ain't Christian,
I'll play with their hearts, steal it, and break it apart.

If I ain't Christian,
I'll tattooed my body with all pretty quotes and pics.
I'll express myself to the world with my tattoo.
I'll write my own story, on my body.
If I ain't Christian,
I'll write it all down.

If I ain't Christian,
I'll partying all night with strangers.
I'll get drunk, and take somebody home, without think twice.
I'll have my one night stand and won't feel sorry.
If I ain't Christian,
I'll be a hedonist.

If I ain't Christian,
I'll get out from my house, right now.
I'll forget my family, and walk in my own path.
I'll get away from my life, and take a new adventure.
If I ain't Christian,
I'll hate my dad.
Philia Oct 2016
I'm the girl who writes.
I write everything that comes to my mind,
I write everything that I felt.

pain,
uncertainty,
reality,
broken heart,
questions,
and sometimes, nonsense.

They are all sick of my words,
They cannot deal with my poems,

Maybe deep down, they know, that is the truth.
they know exactly, that is the current situation.
or maybe,
they just tired with all of my nonsense.

They can blame it all on me,
because today I realized,

No, I'm not a cynic nor a skeptic.
No, I'm not bitter nor a cold-hearted.

If I cannot write a love story,
If I skip them in my poems,
If I write bad things,
If I curse or intimidate them with my words,
deal with it.

Because one thing for sure,
When it comes to the right one,
I know I can write about love,
about falling in love,
about cheesy romantic things.

*It's not me, it's them.
Philia Dec 2018
I want to wake up in Singapore.
Open my window and feeling the hot Sun on my face.
Thank God it's a clear blue sky. No haze, no anything.
Just a really hot Sunny day.
I order dumplings, char keow teow and teh peng in one of the hawker place.
What a pleasant breakfast before I walk into a local coffee shop to sip a glass of iced Caramel Macchiato.

I want to spend an afternoon in Volendam.
Feeling the ocean breeze & the Sun on my face.
I want to eat fresh Seafood platter & a bottle of beer for my lunch.
& walk around the local shops & buy cute souvenirs.
I will take a break and sitting by the deck. In quiet.
Even everyone around me is pretty loud.
I think I will live here when I get old.

I want to spend an Evening in Rome.
Just walk out from the Vatican, and now I'm in Rome.
I want to ride my bike to the wondrous Fontana di Trevi
I will get there before the Sun in down so I have the chance to take photos before everything gets dark.
I'm not going to throw pennies on it. No.
I will only see the magical statue & lick my Gelato over here.

I want to spend a night in Paris.
It never be my first love,
but when I step my foot for the second time,
seeing all these beauties, I fall in love.
I fall in love with their arrogance & their ignorance.
It would be a cold night, with a little bit of drizzle.
It's what they always said right?
Rainy midnight in Paris is always magical.
I will get a nice dinner near the Eiffel Tower,
leaving myself in awe,
sipping my red wine,
before I finally walk to the Icon of Paris.
Maybe I will take a boat tour, maybe I just will spend a night at one of the parks, looking at the Tower.
Before finally, I walk to one of their antique yet beautiful shophouses.
& call it a night for today.
Philia Apr 2021
How dare I dreamed about you last night?*

I scrolled through our conversations 5 years ago as soon as I woke up.

I read our fights and finally, our goodbyes.
It funny that I still felt the pain.

I told you in one of our last conversations,
that "I regret all those 2 years with you, & if I can go back I will not waste my time to be with you."

I lied.

You are one of the best things that ever happened in my life.
You are a sure thing, hurt me so deeply; but you are the lesson that I glad that I went thru.

I enjoy every second with you. & I did love you so much.

You are irreplaceable.
& I have no regret, none at all.
Philia Oct 2016
I always know for sure,
What I want in life.

As I see myself as a writer,
A lone walker,
A traveller.

I never capture anyone in my dreams,
Or my plans.

I only think about myself,
If I want to write a book,
a book that I wrote, purely from my heart
If I want to be a nomad,
live in beautiful places that I would like to explore
If I want to be a painter,
where I just put those rainbow into my canvas
If I want to capture moments in my journey,
and put it on my journal
If I want to keep on writing those nonsense poems,
in the middle of the crowd, in the middle of my friends. As my escape.

And after I met him.
I realized, I want to make it all happen,
*but with him in it.
Philia Sep 2013
Imagine,
We are now in a labyrinth.
A big labyrinth, and we have to find the way out together.
Yeah, We can give it up, and just walk out from the labyrinth without finish it.
(break the wall or ask for someone's help.)
But, Would we?

Right from the start, we don't make a really good team.
We fight too much,
We cry to each other too often.
But we both know what we really want,
We want to fight and finish it together. as a team.

But, then..
We both tired. and We disjunct.
We are apart, I don't know exactly where I am,
and I don't know where you are.

We just scream out each other name.
We run in a circle. We don't know anything.

I'm tired, You either.
We sit separately somewhere in a labyrinth.
Well, maybe We are too tired to find the way out.
Well, maybe We should give it up.
but, Would we?
Philia Jan 2015
In this lonely Saturday evening,
I want to tell you a story..

I want to tell you about
what will happen to Cinderella if the Prince Charming doesn't find her..
what will happen to Ariel if she doesn't have a courage to be human..
will Belle marry Gaston?
and if there's no true love's kiss, Will Snow White and Aurora sleep till forever?
what if the Prince can't find Rapunzel's tower?
what if Jasmine will never open her heart?
and what will happen if Tiana **** the Prince Frog instead of kissing him?

*What if?
Philia Sep 2016
To the brokenhearted,
I promise you, things will get better.
The rain will stop, and the Sun will shine again.
Get up, stand up, then move on.
They said time will heal eventually,
yes indeed.
Someday when you finally able to take a few step forward,
take your time to stop and look back, reflect.
I promise you, you will smile. You will be so proud of yourself.
Maybe if you are lucky enough, you will find someone who will help you to mend your broken heart. Someone who helps you to find all the pieces of your heart,
and when the time has come, you will love again.
Or maybe, you are by yourself, mending your own heart.
But that's okay. You will be fine. You will learn a lot of yourself.
and You will learn to accept, to love, and to respect yourself more.
When the time is right, I promise you, he will come.
He is the one that makes you love like you never been hurt before.
Not in the fastest way, not in the easiest way,
but I promise you, he will.
I promise you, he will love everything about you, cherish every moment with you, and respect you a lot.
He may not a prince charming, but he knows how to treat you.
I promise you, to love someone is to not hurt yourself.
Maybe he is not the one that you expect him to be,
or maybe he is exactly the one that you've been looking for this whole time.
He will make you fall head over heels yet you feel secure at the same time.
I promise you, you will find a brother, a best friend, and a lover for you.
A whole package. The one who gets you excited, the one who makes you deeply in love, the one who makes you feel so loved.
The one that makes you feel that talking to one person is enough.
I promise you, he will make you forget all the pain, all the sadness you've been through before.
He will make you forget all the love story, all the love songs, and all the memory you had before him.
Being with him is all you want. and you are willing to face things that may look impossible.
I promise you, you will find him.
Maybe he is your best friend, maybe he is someone new.
But sooner or later,
I promise you, you will find your one.
Philia Jun 2018
I am here writing to you
not because I'm so confident about myself,
nor I know I would be that kind of successful-motivated-woman,
who will achieve that richest-most successful woman-under 30.

I am here writing this
Because I have the same anxiety,
the same concern as all of you.

But I know
as the sun will always rise in the east,
We have new chances,
we have a new story to write,
we have those 24 hours to hustle again.

Everything will fall into the right places.
all you have to do is pray, hustle and live.

know your strength,
know your weakness.
No one is perfect,
and that's totally okay.

You don't have to find everything out, overnight.
no one ever does.
baby steps,
but keep moving forward.

Be better than yesterday,
learn from yesterday, but don't take a step back.

It's okay to stop.
sit down.
take a rest, and breathe.
Contemplate things that happened before.
learn from it.
then *** up, take a step ahead.

No one really knows what they doing.
So do I.
We are all pretending to know what are we doing.

So, focus on your own garden.
Their grass may be greener just because of the grass is artificial.

If today you are sinking, tired, and frustrated.
Wipe your sweat.
and take a rest.
Have a good rest.
As tomorrow you have to try again.

Cheers!
Philia May 2016
You always said,
you've learnt,  you've changed,
that you are now better
I do see it,
But I don't believe it.

.. You will be always being you:
Shallow;
Inconsiderate;
Dishonest.

Cz recently,
I finally found the last missing pieces of the puzzle;
At our last moment though, you still lied to me.

Well, I guess that explains all,
Liars gonna lie
.
LOL
Philia Jul 2016
LOL
Never knew I would meet you today,
Never knew meeting you could be this breathtaking..

Maybe I just miss you?
If that is okay..
Philia Jul 2018
and.. if she’d ever lose again,
for the second time;
to the same woman.

please tell her,
that he doesn’t deserve her.
please tell her,
that he is not the one.

please let her cry;
but again,
tell her,
that he is not,
and will never be
the one.
Philia May 2014
love bites,
love hurts,
love fools,
love deceives..

love *****,
love disappoints,
love betrays,
love complicates..

love breaks,
love ignores,
love kills,
**love destroys..
Philia Sep 2013
Fact is,
someday he's gonna find somebody,
who's prettier than you,
skinnier than you,
smarter than you,
BETTER than you.

Face the reality,
Someday he won't be that excited anymore with you.
maybe, he will be interested with another girl.
and unfortunately,
maybe, he will be so much in love with her.

You can't expect him, to be always in love with you.
and it's okay.
It's not your fault, him either.

it's a process.

you can see,
if he's the right person for you,
he will defeat all the boredom,
all the flattery,
and all the other things that make him away from you.

because in the end,
Love is no such thing like, a romance.
**Love is a commitment, and companion
Philia Jul 2018
Sometimes
love means taking a step back
or two.

There is nothing
in this world
that is meant for you;
can be taken from you.

if it is meant to be;
then it will be.
Philia Oct 2018
But then,
I always come up with an idea
That love
Is never worth to write about.
Love
Is all that destroys you
Love
Is all that drains you

All the pain
& the bitterness
is always because of
Love.
Philia Sep 2014
I wanna write a love poetry.
A cheesy romantic poems, just for you..

A love story that makes you excited,
makes you envy,
makes you thrilled.

The best romantic story you've ever read,
The best you've ever heard.

A perfect picture of romantic situation,
A flawless moment.

All the sweet moment you've ever wish for,
All the thrilling moment you've ever imagine

A poem that makes you dream,
and smile,
till you fall asleep.

a 'happily ever after' kind of ending.

*...which never exist.
Philia Oct 2016
And I walk down the aisle,
In my favorite local bookstore.
Browse for a book or two,

Where love isn't that complicated.
Where love is sweet and sincere.
Where love is just a fairytale.

Tell me a story,
About a boy and a girl,
Tell me how they fall in love to each other,
How they adore each other,
How they crave for each other's every single day.
Is it love at the first sight?
Will their love last until forever?

Tell me about their promises,
Tell me where everything is perfect.
Tell me about their day one.
Tell me about their background.
Was it love at the first sight?

Autumn in Amsterdam would be a nice setting for a love story,
Well I'm just giving you an idea.
Where's the location of their first meeting?
Where their eyes meet for the first time.
Was it Dam Square?
Or just a random bar in Volendam?

I want a perfect scenario of a smooth and sweet love story,

*Please, please tell me about it.
Philia Sep 2016
I love you,
A little too much.

I miss you,
A little too often.

It's like riding a roller coaster,
I'm into you head over heels.

Well I think I'm just lucky enough to fall for my bestfriend.
Philia Sep 2013
Maybe, I'm tired.
Maybe, I don't give a **** anymore with your opinion.
Well, Maybe, We're *******.

I thought, we trust each other,
but 'TRUST' is never that easy.
We both wild and free. We never take things too serious.

I thought, we love each other,
but 'LOVE' is never that simple.
We both young and unexperienced, We don't know much.

I thought, we will last forever,
but 'FOREVER' is a very very long time.
We don't know how to commit with only one person, We are too scared and weak.

Maybe, we are too tired to find the way out.
Philia Feb 2019
& Tonight
I kneel down
& pray
& cry
hard.

For everything is not in my favor.
For everything seems didn’t work out.
For everything is useless.

I’m just tired, you know..
Trying & failed
I’m just too tired
& I didn’t want to live this way.

who are you
I asked myself;
As I didn’t recognise myself,
Anymore.
Philia Sep 2013
I was there,
sitting on a bench,
hearing the sound of the wave,
I was at the Seashore.

I was there,
waiting for penguins to come out,
but looking up to the dusk sky.
I was so cold.

I was there,
sitting beside my first love,
silent but sure,
I wasn't in love anymore.

I was there,
waiting for the moon to rise.
a beautiful dusk sky changed into a dark starry night.
I'm in love with somebody else.
Philia Feb 2016
I hope moving on was that easy.
I'm a believer of "time will heal eventually"
but this time, is different.
Philia Mar 2019
I need time to be alone.
To think,
to contemplate,
to pray.

I need time to be left unbothered.
To write,
to talk,
to find a muse.

I need time to be in a cafe,
or in a MRT or bus,
or in 40th storey building, looking at the dawn,
or in anywhere else.
only by myself.

I want to mute everything,
and everyone before me.

& Let my mind speak.
Philia Dec 2019
Both are speaking in two different language.
Nothing really connects.
Both cannot put themselves in each other's shoe.

It has no rendezvous.
then, what for?
Philia Jan 2016
We all deserve somebody who makes our life worth living.

Don't settle.
Don't let somebody makes you feel bad about yourself.
Always remember, if somebody really loves you, he will stay.
Don't bear because you are lonely, bear because he worth your time.
Don't settle because you are afraid that nobody will ever love you the way he does.
Believe me, if he really loves you, settling or not won't ever be an option for you.
Just wait and see, somebody will suddenly find you, maybe in your darkest time, and he will love you. Much more than anyone ever did.
Just remember, you don't deserve a gloomy stormy night. You deserve a beautiful sunny day.
Love yourself, more than you love anyone else. Don't ever lose yourself.
Don't change for anybody. Change for the sake of yourself.
Smile more. and breathe.
Your mistakes don't define who you are. If they judge you, just don't give a ****, you don't need to waste your time for those negative people.
When you have options, choose the one that you can't live without. Not the one you think is the less risky.
Follow your guts.
You don't always need to know the reasons why.
Don't think too much, everything will be in the right place at the right time.
Pray to God for everything you've got today.
Be grateful.

It is what it is. Move on.
Philia Jun 2015
One day, you finally realised that
couple shirts,
matching tattoo,
or even promise ring..
won't guarantee anything.

Someday, you finally see that
promise can be broken,
commitment can be denied,
and love fade.
Philia Aug 2019
I've been swallowing the bitterness & *******,
what could be more bitter?

My heart has been broken multiple times,
what could be more painful than that?

I've been tricked on,
lied on,
betrayed on..
It is life.

One thing people should remember,
at the end of the day, all you got is yourself,
No one should & no one would ever help you.
Philia Nov 2013
Maybe I'm blind,
and you're stupid.

I don't care.

We both can't see the reality.
We both too headstrong to admit.
We both are trying too hard.

Maybe I'm blind,
and you're stupid .

I don't care.

If we don't see each other in heaven,
so what's the point?
are we struggling for nothing?

Well, Maybe I'm blind,
and you're stupid.

We will always make a perfect combination.
Won't we?
Philia Nov 2016
You are my once in a Blue Moon;
My Pleiades in the Autumn Sky on the Northern Hemisphere.

I would bridge you closer to Chimera,
I would borrow the shine of the Sirius,
I would shelter you with the Cumulus,
I would spread your colors to Nacreous Clouds,
I would paint you the Aurora,
I would wait for the Total Eclipse for you,

And I'll steal the Neptune's power;
to show you,

I love you till the Sol dies.
Philia Aug 2019
Life taught me hard,
To love myself more,
To stand alone,
& To be enough with myself.

I learn to take care of myself,
Even if the world is against me.
I learn to enjoy myself more than I am with people.

I learn to prioritize my insanity than anything in the world, just because I deserve to be the priority of myself.

I am the one that all I’ve got.

All I have is myself.
& That should be enough.

I should receive a trophy,
for being a really great actress.
definitely, the big one.

I should tutoring an acting class,
for being a really great pretender.
definitely, I'm the professional one.

Even there's a pain in my chest,
I still can laugh out loud.

Even I'm about to cry,
I still faked a smile.

So, believe me.
*I'm a professional actress.

Shoot your gun on 05.40,
then it will says:
"Happy 1/4 of Century"
to you.

Open the book,
& I wrote "Serenity Prayer" to you.
Godspeed, man!
take it as your guidance, as your life shelter.
as God will always be with you.

Big balloons of 25 will be waiting for you in your room,
while your Mom talks to you,
I will inflate it,
pick up your Strawberry Cheesecake &
your gift.

Nothing special really,
I give you customised embroidery art of
"Aquila" Constellation.
& Dylan Blue, as you want me to pick up a perfume for you.
So, Versace it is.

I never really thought,
there would be another project.
But pardon me & my brain, they keep rambling about ideas
& I cannot stop myself from doing all of these things.

This is not just for you.
but also, this one is really for me.

XOXO,
