i promise you it isn't just a teenage love.

you'll be endlessly told these
stinging words,
by people who have never known,
let alone felt anything like you have.
don't believe their clouded pessimism
they are frosting your eyes with.

listen with the pulsing.
listen to your chest.
hear those beats inside of you?
feel the warmth and heat rushing through those
veins of yours.

listen.

trust your instinct,
your throbbing heart sings for them.
through every separation,
you'll feel the pull back to their
energy...
soul...
their living, breathing, being.

the nails people will hammer into you,
thud hard into your skin with the words
of hopelessness.
pry those rusty nails from your skin,
and push them through your
feet.
grounding your inclination
towards the feeling of longing.

they will stain your mind like drops
of spilled ink.
not watered down,
but pigmented,
overpowering deep smudges of emotion.

once you know you know.
don't doubt the feeling.
you know.
trust that.
no matter how young, old, once you know. You know.

Time has passed so fast
Just like the seagull doing their migration
Moving from beach to beach
Across the sea
Trough the wind

Even people can change by the time
But look at those wilted flower
Why does we still called it flower?
Altough the flower has wilted
We still picturing as the flower still bloom
Feeling that ever exist still remains
What we feel inside was so real

We both have rights to be happy
If you're feel happy,
I'll be the first one who happy for you
Allow me to continue to admire you
Until you won't let me anymore
And let me say
"Thank you for finding me"

Maybe the person who I like it's you,
But I’m affraid it’s you who only exist in my imagination

I can't do it
If it's not you
it's meaningless to do it with others
"I love you" is just a cliche
And camouflage
To express "you"
And
"Thank you" will never be enough
Without "you"

You
You,
There is only one voice like you,
The only voice that makes me happy.

You,
There is only one fingerprint like you,
The one who hold my hand
when i'm falling.

You,
There is only one face similar as you,
The one that always dream to have.

You,
There is nothing could make me happier besides you,
And there is only favourite thing i have,
And it's YOU .

There she is
Sitting in the corner of her room
In the dark of the night
Staring into nothing

There he is
Broken as it sounds
In the dark of the night
His words empty

Two beautiful souls
Swimming in the void
Killing each other slowly
With love and affection

All he ever wants
To see his lover smile
All because of him
Not of the past

All she ever wants
To be happy as she ever be
But possible is not
Dragged by her past

They hang on to each other
Them against the whole universe
They are drowning, slowly
Anchored by their expectations

He was the most selfless being
She was the most carefree soul
Now they were no longer those
Only the cocoon of their former selves
A story of a sinking, unsalvagable relationship between a man and a woman with a mountain of expectation and a whole different world of reality. She had a past. He sees a future. They clashed, killing them slowly. Yet, none of them are willing to leave. They love each other too much, and are now holding on to their sinking ship

Love does not have to
be perfect, it only has
to be shared with you

I was your someone
until you became someone
else's someone

Red and black go well,
They complement each other,
Much like you and me,
A floating leaf,
A drifting feather

Love do you know
You're the only one
I want to hold
The only one

I don't wanna stare
Into an others eyes
Don't wanna touch their hair
Don't wanna burn in a colder fire

I only want you
You and only you
Your eyes in perfect hues
You're my highs and my blues
You and only you

I don't wanna hold another girls hand
I don't wanna sit up the back in the cinema
With someone who can't understand

Because you make me feel like I'm flying
You wash away all my sorrow
When you turn to me smiling
In a moment you wash it all to tomorrow

So far away
That it doesn't matter
When I'm with you
Nothing else matters

It's just us two
It's all that matters
Just us
Far away
From the madness and the pain
In our own place
Where no one else can find us

Just us
love you so much
I can't have you can I
