Stolen glimpse.
Cluttered thoughts.

Maybe this is what love is
I can't find the right words
Only my heart knows
What my mouth wants to say

Despite all your flaws and imperfections
I still wonder why they left you alone
Maybe they're not able to see the spark
Which I still cannot explain

The happiness I feel whenever I see you
The smile you put on my frowning face
The courage you give when I'm feeling afraid
The wave of emotions you make me feel when I'm with you

The roller coaster ride relationship
Even there are ups and downs
We need to hold on tight
because at the end, it's all worth it

I don't know how to end this poem
Maybe some things are better left unsaid

Life is a battlefield
Win or lose? Take it or leave it?
or just go in between?
Uncertain as when will it rain or shine

Be a soldier,
ready to fight and risk everything
from beginning until the end
love and honor still fulfill

Be a nurse,
ready to heal the wounded ones
ready to care for everyone
love is the greatest

Be an opponent,
ready to threaten,
ready to attack
great determination is needed

I may not be a soldier
Not ready to fight 'til the end
Not at all times you'll win
Be brave enough to accept defeat

I may not be a nurse
Cause even for myself,
I cannot heal all the wounds
Scars remind me of sorrows
I wish to forget

I may not be an opponent
Cause even for myself,
I cannot go beyond my limits
Still stuck with fears and doubts

I may not be anyone
Searching my worth and purpose
In a place of the unknown
For myself, I am different.

Mourning sky on the final day
My old white balloon flew away
Was not able to have a glance
Maybe we'll have another chance

The other flew just too soon
Just like the phase of a new moon
I was not able to see it
I was not able to touch it

There's a rainbow after the rain
Memories will always remain
There is no farewell or goodbye
We will meet again in the sky

I am an actor
In a primetime show
In national tv
Love me or hate me
It is not easy, I know.

I am an accused
Being questioned
Being judged
Believe me or hate me
It is not easy, I know.

I am a butterfly
Newly emerged from a chrysalis
The world outside
Loves me or hates me
It is not easy, I know.

When will they accept
When will they change
When will their words
Be an embrace
It is not easy, I know.

I'm really sorry for what I have done
I'm sorry for not being good enough
Man like me doesn't deserve a girl like you
But will prove to be the right one for you

The past will always be remained bitter
Don't use it with me as a barrier
Instead, let us just leave the past behind
Make new memories with a peace of mind

Let the Sunflower stand tall and sturdy
To find the light in your darkest journey
To be the source of joy in your sorrow
To be your hope in every tomorrow
