please don't say i'm not alone
when it's the middle of the night
and my tears won't stop falling
and i feel the weight of my chest
hearing nothing but my own silent cries

please don't say i'm not alone
when no one's there to listen
and i still crave for your presence
when i should've known better:
that you'll never be here

from the moment our eyes met
piercing through each soul
as if we knew each other already,
i never regretted it

from the moment our hands intertwined
the feeling was subtle and familiar
as if you were my only home
i would never run away from

from the moment our lips made art
as words escaped from it
whispering 'i love you's,
i meant all of it.

Please tell her you love her
like you've never told her before
Please tell her you need her
more than anything in this world.

Some nights I prefer reading a book,
indulging myself in a nonexistent world,
rather, a nonexistent universe
where you and i were never cursed

Some nights I prefer solitude,
in the comfort of my home,
with nothing but a glass of wine
and you, running on my mind

Some nights there I lay,
on the cold ground,
trying to mend myself though I know
you're the only one that could

Some nights I wish
that there are no more wishes
nor prayers I could pray
just so you would stay.

some nights.

Sometimes I'm sick of apologizing,
when I'm the one hurting
Sometimes I'll take the blame
To keep the flame burning

But love isn't a game to keep score
of who took and gave more,
love is the small things you do
to keep the smiles in his face,
and keeping him from feeling blue

But love sometimes fades like colors,
likes sunsets that once painted the skies,
like footprints that leave marks in the sand,
like cuts that leaves mangled scars

I remember the moment my eyes caught a glimpse,
Of a colorful smile in a monochromatic world of mine.
I remember how your eyes were tired,
But your face lit up and your lips said otherwise.

I remember the moment your hand brushed against mine,
It’s as if your world collided with mine for a split second,
And I wanted to stop time.

Happy wasn’t even a word I could best describe,
The feeling I had ever since you came into my life.
I felt a spark of hope in the darkness of my night,
A ray of sunshine in a storm that gave fright.

You brought light in the darkest parts of my mind,
You were the stars that lit up beside the shining moonlight.
You were the calm before the storm,
The first leaf that falls in an autumn day.

But I saw how your eyes glistened under the moonlight,
Praying that someone someday might love you more than I.
I never thought a heart could easily break,
That even a touch so fragile can shatter it

Maybe love wasn’t for me, and I wasn’t for you.
Maybe fate entangled our paths, but I was never meant for you.

I love how your eyes glimmer beneath the starry night,
How your lips stammer when the freezing wind bites,
How your words are melodies I’ve been longing to hear,
How your warm embrace slowly dissipates my fears.

I’ve always wanted to find the right words to describe you,
Little by little they charmingly haunt me,
But they quickly dissolve into emptiness,
As words are never enough to elucidate your beauty.

I am not in love with what could’ve been,
I am not in love with what should’ve been,
I am in love with what we’ve been,
I am in love with what we would still be.

maybe it's her smile,
that keeps me entertained for awhile
maybe it's the way she twists her hair,
and she's unaware

maybe it's the way she walks,
or the way she talks
maybe it's the way her eyes sparkle,
or when she's startled
maybe it's the way she wriggles her nose,
or the small tantrums she throws


there may be a million reasons,
why i feel something burn inside
the moment her name slips from my mouth,
or the moment her hand brushes mine

but it'll always be simply because
she exists the same time as I do
and nothing will ever compare
to the unfathomable coincidence I call 'fate'
when I met you.
