I used to make fun of
Those naïve, lovesick girls
That stared out windows
Daydreaming of the boys
Who they'd been silly enough
To give their hearts to

I swore that I would never be
So foolish as to fall,
For with falling comes feeling
The crushing pain of loss
When it all undoubtedly
Hits the ground

But how could I predict
The sensation that would come
When you so suddenly
Found your way behind these
Walls I'd built so high?
You with those eyes and that smile.

How easily you persuaded me
Out of my cynicism.
My firm grip loosened
When I heard you sing that night
And I felt myself begin to fall,
Not knowing if you'd catch me.

Now I am that lovesick girl
Who stares out windows
Daydreaming of the beautiful boy
Who holds her heart
So carefully in his hands,
Silently hoping
That he'll decide to keep it.

Can you ask someone questions of an untold future? How can you ask me so emotionally? Is a future with me the logical thing to do for you.

What about passion? Will we have this? Friendship? Love? FREEDOM? Respect? Will these be included? Is that on your list too?

I need someone I know will be there through thick and thin. Someone who wants a lover as well as my best friend. Love respect freedom and support should be number one. If not I don't think the two of us will last.

Can you give this to me? Can you actually promise me a future? How do I answer? What do I say?

Someone would say that they thought they would always wait for this day.. Not so sure about me as I stare at you blankly.
I had someone approach me one time and tell me that they didn't think of marriage as one of convenience but as a business deal and that I may have been a suitable candidate. I wanted to respond with this. Instead I just smiled and drank my coffee.

If I told you every time I thought about you would you think I was weird? Would you think it was strange?

I don't know what it is about you that makes me go insane but I think about you constantly spinning me around smiling gazing all while the rest of the world isn't invited into our secret conversations.

I could Love you. I could get used to this but you are a fleeing moment that will soon be a memory.
Sometimes you just have to let your mind go there without letting your body. This was one of those times.

i feel you, i do,
from the inside out, deeply,
     with rhythm in every thought,
     patience in every breath,
     wisdom in every word,

and for a little while,
i imagine our hearts,
     though distant,
     beating together, closely
     like a clock (tick tock)

Isn't it amazing to move to another country?
Like no one knows you
And you're gonna learn their culture,
And maybe their language and handwriting.

It's amazing because it's like starting a new life again,
a new journey,
Finding new friends and maybe one day they'll be your family.

Isn't it amazing to leave the place where
the past that you hated so much
you almost cursed everyone?

Isn't it amazing to just leave everything behind
and be free?
i wrote this when i'm on my flight back to my country and i stayed in jeju island in Korea for a week, enough for me to fall in love to that place.

The images I see
Are nothing more than daydreams,
that keep replaying.
Sweet melodies reciting words that will never be said.
It's the cherry smelling fragrance
That's got my worries becoming vacant
That look in your eyes makes me feel so peutrbational
Because your presence is so sensational
You doubt yourself in everything you do
But the actions you take are very astute
Sometimes beauty makes someone become mute
The gift of vision adds onto your alluring existence
A good guy has to keep his persistence
Because if he falls through the cracks
A woman won't give him slack
But a good man doesn't force his woman to respond out of subordinate regimentation
But out of humble communseration and transparent sincerity
The keys to social prosperity
That leads to your twentieth anniversary
The day that makes your history necessary
Now that I take my first few steps
I hope I don't come off as scary
If I'm delivering my heart I better be able to be the canary
Because when I think of you it's just perceptional clarity
As I look into your eyes I envision us surrounded in deep emblazon chanting "just marry me already"
Under the the mistletoe
As the snows hits the earth
I take the bite out of frost and frost out of frost
Then I snap out of my vivid daydream just to look speechless and lost
But the reflection of your cherry lip gloss complells me to speak
No matter what I won't come off as weak
I'll protect you as I speak
A day without you in my arms will be a day I must slowly cope
For the time you return is what I plan to hope
To each of their own
I hope you'll be my own
As I slowly reiterate reality into my conscious
I keep my heart cautious
Praying that I played the right card
And to win the blessing of being part of your endlessly flawless presence
This poem is in the perspective of a boy who badly wants a girl but never actually makes a move. He predicts things really far ahead because he's emotionally relentless and passionate. It's one of my favorites.

Another day spent dreaming of you,
Another night spent awake.
Again I'm sitting at my parent's home
nothing changed so far
putting the desk in front of me
and the furniture behind
like it was back in the old days.

I listen to the ticking of our pendulum clock,
bought by my grandfather and given to my dad
when he was around the age I am now,
while the rain keeps falling
like it was back in the old days.

Back in the old days
I dreamed of so many things
still full of wishes, heart at ease
like it only could have been by a child
watching the november rain.

Time seems to drift away,
Friends seem to drift away,
Love seems to drift away,
Purpose seems to drift away,
Dreams seem to drift away,
Life seems to drift away,
In time we will all drift away.
