A vision — that’s what you were.
Not a friend, nor a lover,
but an idea my mind couldn’t help but wander to.
I drew portraits of you in my head,
thinking this is what you’re supposed to look like
when certain emotions are finally let to be expressed —
making me want you the most,
making me love you the least.

So again,
a vision — that’s what you are.
Not a friend, nor a lover,
just an idea that my mind —
shouldn't—
but maybe sometimes still —
...still wanders to.
life happened , but I hope this can suffice for my absence.
I look back at our photo — two smiles caught mid-laughter, too real to fake, even with life weighing heavy on us.
Back then, we didn’t have much, but we had that — something solid, unspoken.
Now, our smiles in pictures feel like strangers wearing our faces.

And though a part of me wants to stay angry,
there’s still a small corner of my heart
that waits for you to say something — anything — that sounds like the old us.

People keep asking, like they expect me to have all the words.
But why is it only me who has to say what happened? Why not you?
Do you ever stop and wonder
how much it hurts —
not just losing what we were,
but never really knowing why?

Pauline Celerio Jan 2016
Our moment is lost in time.
A single moment of something right.
A moment that I owe to fate
Until it ended and it's too late.
And if we are to meet again
I don't know how, I don't know when.
Amidst the lanterns in the rain
Frontrunner of the parade.
And since that day you stole the night
I'm left with stars to wish upon;
One by one, disappears the light
And my burning heart is left undone.
I dared to seek even I am blind
I dared to find, I dared to fight.
But fate is a fiddler, forever a riddler
And truth in the eyes of a weary soldier.
And if success is hidden from my palm
I guess the storm is in the calm.
So come find me and seize the day,
Surround in heat and start the flame.
Defy the odds and sweep me off my feet
And in the sour, you'll be the sweet.
Come find me now, I'm done finding you,
I dare you to come find me too.
For Don. Come find me.

— The End —
