I WASN’T PREPARED

Many times I’ve caught myself wondering, looking up to the ceiling and asking myself, “How far have I gone”?
Or “Am I really moving?”
Many times I’ve caught myself suddenly thinks of the things that shouldn’t be remembered
Thinking of the things that made my heart shattered
And as the tear slowly falls down on the paper, I’ve realized that I’m not prepared
I’m not prepared of all these “romantic” things
I’m not prepared of the sudden blissful happenings
I’m not prepared of someone coming to my life
And I wasn’t prepared of you, fading away from my sight
I’m not prepared at all

Looking back to the night when your eyes met mine
I looked up and saw the stars shine
And that was the time I’ve felt all my blood rushing through my veins
It was like I’ve felt free from the locked up chains
My sight of you seemed like I was looking on a beautiful scenery
And my heartbeat? It wasn’t ordinary

You smiled at me like we’ve already known each other before
I looked down and saw my reflection on the tiled-floor
It wasn’t a dream
You were not a dream

You were the reality I’ve always longed for
You are the essence, you are the core
We’ve shared many moments together like a fountain
Dancing through the wind of happiness
Showering each other with the water of faithfulness
And giving light to the dark side despite the stress

Many days passed by
I’ve counted the days when I always looked up at the night sky
It was different. It wasn’t the same
It was strange. Everything has changed

Back then,
We were happy
We were lucky
We were lucky with the things that we have
We were in love
But that was “were”
It can’t be now, it can’t be forever
I didn’t know what happened
I didn’t know why it has to happen

I know
I have loved you like the uncountable sands on the seashore
I have loved you like the numerous stars on the sky
I have loved you like the deep see that couldn’t be fathom
I have loved you before.

And before I end this spoken poetry
I will thank you for the days
For the days that you have stayed
For the days that you have remained
Thank you for the love we have shared
Thank you even if I wasn’t prepared
