One blink, two blink . . . You were there
On my left
With your rolls of tissue
With your nasty handwriting
With your cobalt blue pencil case
Laughing about how we were so alike
Playing innuendo bingo games
I hated wearing glasses but
You said I looked handsome with it on
Past

Three blink, four blink . . . I'm not there
But you are
With your Constantine
With your batman wallet
With your white duty coat
Whining about how you hate studying medicine
Telling you to quit smoking though knowing I'm nothing for you
Wandering where it went wrong
Was it my confession that changed us?
Present

Five blink, six blink . . .
I can't . . . I don't want to!
Why?
Because I've predicted . . . I've seen it all
Please . . . continue

Five blink, six blink . . . Should I be there?
You on the aisle
With your sleek tux
With your big goofy smile
With your bride or groom or whatever tf you are into . . beside you
Seeing you happy makes me breathless
Introducing your new partner to me
- " Babe, this is my old best friend."
- " Hi, I'm . . . "

Wanted to say something
Wanted to pull out whatever that is blocking my throat
A pause . . . a breath

- " Hi, I'm his nobody."
Future
I'm a year older today
And the greatest gift I received were from loved ones and distant friends
But not from my family
And yet I wonder, is today truly my Birthday?

Over the years, I would stay awake all through the night to see who would make my day special.
I found one but he wasn't family
He is a distant friend
A stalker
He never forgets what birthday's mean to me.
But I guess I don't mean much to my family.

Every Birthday, I wish for something new
A mind blowing surprise
And guess what?
He became an answer to my prayer

But my heart doesn't belong to him and so I can't reciprocate his love

And my only wish for today is LOVE.

If you didn't love me
Then why did you pretend to?
Why did you text me everyday, hour, minute?
Why did you call me everyday?
Why did you pick me up from work?
Why did you always hug me when you know im not okay?

You said you don't love me
And yet
You're doing things to make me love You
You became so important to me
And i wonder what i did wrong
To make you leave

So why?
Tell me why.
If you didn't love me,
Why did you make me love you?
silent sky
silent moon
only the wind rustled those autumn leaves.

and suddenly you spoke
or atleast i think you did.
"te amo", i heard and smiled for myself
oh blush!!
turned to see your face, which spoke little what i heard

and you see, how i fell in love in October

You held my hand and kissed the rim. I wanted to let go but I couldn’t. I knew it was fake, I knew it wasn’t real but I still couldn't move. I wanted you but I knew I could never have you. I will never have the real you. I will never mean to you as much as you mean to me. Yet every time you called my name, you sang I love you, I couldn't help but fall deeper, knowing that it's all lies. You took advantage, you thought I was a possession. Still, you were my obsession.  I wanted you to know, I know you don’t care, I know you don't love my heart but I still gave you everything because I truly loved you. From your quirky smile to your diamond eyes. You were my dream guy and I was your dream body. But guess what. I am still holding your hand because I care. Now that you're gone, you let go of my hand, I cry out your name...It's really not fair. My thoughts are running, my ears are ringing because our memories are the loudest blares.
If I had know that I was going to write a poem about you I wouldn't have
If I known I would fall in love with you
I would have never met you
And if I had known how much I would hurt
I would have already been dead

But that's not the way that it works, is it?
We are to find love
Find pain
And everything that goes with
But I never wanted this I never wanted to feel
I hated it so much
You hated me so much
But I can't do much about it now,
Can I?

If I had know
I would never had felt this way
I would have never had my heart leap
And jump out of my chest
If I had known
So much would be different
And you would be long gone

Eyes that reflected all the colors of blue,
And lips that never utters the truth.
Ears that is tired of listening with all of the request and lies,
and a million pieces of heart because of heartbreaks and cries.

She's always been the se cond choice,
She's tired of being always the bridge, for being always Eros' substitute.
She's been the one call away friend in a one sided friendship,
and now she can't keep the act as happy go lucky girl in front of the public.

She have the rainbow in her smile,
but there's a swelling storm in her eyes.
She have the brightest morning in her laugh,
but there's a depths of despair inside her mind.

She love him for the first time,
She never knew she'd be falling to deep.
She laid her eyes only to him,
She never knew it was hard to look away.

He is the reason of her smiles,
He is the reason why she listened to all the lies.
He is the reason of her every night cries,
He is the reason why she lost without giving a fight.

She have loved her for a short moment of time,
He have made her heart beats out of rhyme.
She made a great mistake of confessing,
He have made a decision that he doesn't have any feelings.

She was summer and she met her storm,
He was the storm and destroyed the summer.
She was the sun and she met her moon,
He was the moon and gave cold response to the sun.

She wanted to scream,
She wanted to tell that her world was so dim.
She wanted to say,
I don't want to be just your friend to call away.

You've got me
in a void
no where to see
the light

You know people say I'm wasting my time loving you.
I wasted all my love on you.
When you waste your time
you end up with nothing.
But the truth is I used my love as a lesson
to help you show me
how beautiful love was,
how beautiful I was
And how beautiful the world can be.
I used my love
to help you restore my faith and trust.
I saw that beauty existed
I used my love
to show you how beautiful you are in my eyes.
And this love made me feel like a **** queen
it revealed my kingdom I needed to build. 
And I won't regret a thing
Because nothing I felt was a waste of time.
It was a lesson learned.
And I'm glad I was privileged to learn it from you.
