Your obliviousness makes me want to lay out all the suppressed words on the wooden surface -

Would you pick them up
or leave the table?

you were the book
i kept safe on the lonely shelf
only to be picked up
and to be read again;
what has been merely forgotten
but often longed

The Road Not Taken
Renee Mar 2017

It was I who made it the most
For you were all I dared to seek, to find

Obviously inspired by Robert Frost's The Road Not Taken. A must read.

It's the sense of familiarity
That makes me want to turn back
And run away before I go through it all again

I’m writing your name on my skin
And I hear heavy rain drops on my roof
I don’t have to look out the window
I know they’re thinking out loud
And I know I am too –
I’m thinking of you.

And I’m sorry for a lot of things
But one thing remains,
I’ll never be sorry for
Letting you go.

If I told him straight in the eye that I loved him, and he told me he loved me back, I'd be a fool and take it.
I don't care if he absolutely didn't mean it, I'd take it because hearing him say the three words I've been willing to say to him for years, come right back at me is more than enough.

I fell in love with the sad reality in which you wrote the first half of my book about how much you loved my imperfections and all the love I've always wanted to hear, and the heartbreaking realisation that, I, whom you once loved, am writing the last page — that I was loved by an author and how he tore off the first half of my book.

Flaw
Renee Oct 2015
"My flaws are here, here, here, here, here..." I went on and on, jabbing my finger aimlessly on his body. He looked so sad, then I took a deep breath and whispered, "and here," laying my hand on his chest and continued, "because you fell in love with me," I looked at him dead straight in the eyes, hoping he'll understand that I will never stay his.
Nothing stays nor lasts forever and I, certainly don't.

"How about you? I feel like you're my flaw," he managed to choke out. I hugged him one last time and sighed, "I'm afraid I'm everyone else's." And pressed my lips against his tear-stained cheeks. He took my hand and held it in both, "but we all learn to love our flaws in the end, right? I love you, I love you, I love you —," I cut him off.

"And I'm still learning how to love you back"

Traces of your being hidden in the back of my mind comes crawling back at midnight. I thought I was over you leaving but, I guess, at least I tried.
You once told me you'd never let me fall and you'd be there to hold me if I ever want to cry and fall apart, and I trusted you.

Well, I'm afraid I'm falling apart, and you're not here. You left two months ago.

It was all I had to say, and it turned out to be nothing that could have made you stay.

If I could turn back time, you know I would've called you mine.

If only I saw to it sooner that it wouldn't have been that bad, you wouldn't be just a remnant of what I could have had.
