So strangely
have you stuck to my life,
you, who have gone.

Why is everything
of my life
attached to you?

Like you are
the darkness
of my nights,

and stars,
and the moon...
they must be lightless
if I don’t
think of you.
Is it really strange, stranger?
Solaces 7d
Into the expanse of thoughts of you.
Endless moments of smiles and virtues.
Constellations inside of your eyes.
Moments of forever written in the sky.
Mrs Timetable May 20
I want to write
A little poetry book
Fitting in my pocket
To carry with me
With five little poems
One for each finger of your hand
Your hand that led me here
My muse
My blues
My cues
My heart tattoos
My infuse
So I will call it YOUs
I'm gonna do it. Watch me.
AC May 19
I want to write
I want to write you a bouquet of all the words that are most beautiful
Even though they're not the ones I want to say.

I'd say you looked like the glitter of moonlight bathing a forest silver.
When you really reminded me of the glow of the reflection of a lava lamp on a storm-streaked Thursday afternoon school window
A little bit distant and a little bit normal
But still so close,
So special.

I can't tell if my face is hot, if my fingers are hot from you
Or if it's just my PC keyboard
Beginning to overheat and I'm just the same, normal me.
I can't tell if my heart is beating so so so so fast from you
Or if it's just the impending ringing of the school bell playing hopscotch or jump-rope with my adrenaline.

When will we know who we are? What will we do when we do?
This one's for Wren. Or Levi. It doesn't matter, at least not anymore.
Cheyenne May 13
Give me a name.
Give me a title that I will only hear,
when it drifts from your soft lips.

Don't call me by the simple name I have now.
A name I never wanted,
nor asked for.

I long for the name
that makes you think of sweeter things.
Like sugar.
Like the sun.

I want the name that comes to mind
when I am held in your sight,
or in the back of your thoughts.

Would it be nicer?
Would it be longer or shorter?
Would my new name be simple,
or a mouthful?

Or maybe I don't want a new name at all.
Maybe I just want you to look into my eyes,
and claim me by the name I have now.

I want you to call me by the name you love most.
I pray it's my name.
Maria Leslie Apr 24
You are the one I want to be with
You are the one I want to see
You are the new one

You changed me everything
You are the new one in my eyes
You are the new one in my heart
You are the new one that makes my heart happy
You are the new one that makes me smile
You are the one that colors my world
You are my inspiration

You are the new future
that I want to reach
I don't want to lose you anymore
I can't let you go
It hurts me to forget you

I don't want to go back to the way it was
Because you are the one
who brought back the color to my world
You are the one who took away my tears
You are the one who made my eyes shine

You are the one who took away the knives and wounds in my heart

I hope you don't leave and forget me
I hope you wait for me
I hope you are the answer to my prayers
I hope you are the one God gave me.
I hope you are given the chance to be us

You are the one I've been waiting for
You are the one I want
You are the one I love.

You are the one in my life
That I want to achieve
You are the one I dream of every day

I fall in love with the twinkle of your eyes
I hope God gave you to me.
Because what I love is you.

Ikaw na yung gusto kong makasama
Ikaw na yung gusto kong makita
Ikaw na yun bago

Lahat binago mo
Ikaw na yung bago sa paningin ko
Ikaw na yung bago sa puso ko
Ikaw na yung bagong nagpapasaya sa puso ko
Ikaw na yung bagong nagpapangiti sakin
Ikaw na yung nag papakulay ng mundo ko
Ikaw na yung inspiration ko

Ikaw na yung bagong hinaharap
na gusto kong maabot
Ayaw na kitang mawala
Hindi na kita kayang pakawalan
Masakit na sakin na limutin ka

Ayoko ng bumalik sa dati
Dahil ikaw yun nagbalik ng kulay ng mundo ko
Ikaw yung nag alis sa mga luha ko
Ikaw yung nag ningning sa mga mata ko
Ikaw yung nag alis ng mga patalim at sugat sa puso ko

Sana huwag mo ako iwan at kalimutan
Sana hintayin mo ako
Sana ikaw na yun sagot sa mga dasal ko
Sana ikaw na yun bigay ng may kapal
Sana mabigyan ng pagkakataon na maging tayo

Ikaw na yung hinihintay ko
Ikaw na yung gusto ko
Ikaw na ang mahal ko.

Ikaw na yung nanjan sa buhay ko
Na gusto kong makamtam
Ikaw na yung pinapangarap araw araw

Nahuhulog ako sa kisap ng yong mga mata
Sana ibigay ka sakin ng may kapal
Dahil ang mahal ko’y ikaw.

Just like that, outta the blue
I realize that no matter what I do
There'll never ever be another you
And it hurts like hell...
Btw, how great is Chet Baker??
I want to get married, I say
and I want to run across every corner of the earth without stop;
but I think I have a soulmate
somewhere in Italy, sipping his after-dinner espresso
and I think I’ve probably got another, sailing around Greece
F_ck, I heard a Columbian’s accent for the first time last night
andβ€”-though I’ve never been to South Americaβ€”-
I’d bet there’s a few men waiting there for me too, and
How do you pack all the lives you want to live
into just one?
…

In one of our lives, we got married / bought a little house, down by the sea / played music in the mornings dancing wild through the kitchen / nothing but two sets of boxers and breakfast sizzling / retreated to our single studies in the evenings / slow jazz notes tumbling through the quiet hum / I gave you a couple of kids, so I could watch you be a father / and you were the most beautiful thing standing on two legs / teaching your son to ride a bike / cradling your newborn daughter / and every single day was enough / reason to love you harder
…

And still another, we were Old Gods
Intimately entwined of the infallible energies
Birthing entire planets and star systems
Β Β of our chaos and of our joy

And time would pass
and we would grin
just watching
