Je pense à toi ce soir.
Je pense à toi tout le temps.
Passant de blanc à noir,
Les rêves de toi me hantent.
Je pense à toi souvent.
Tôt le matin et **** le soir.
Tu passes dans ma tête à tout bout de champs.
Faut croire que je te t'aime vraiment.
Car je pense à toi à tout moment.

Like a sneaky wild cat hunting its next prey
It makes very little sounds at first
When it's ready to attack however,
You can hear the creeks and cracks under its racing feet a mile away.
A fire log is burning ever so slowly
With it's glorious flames dancing up and down on it's back
The crackling of its parts breaking under the intense heat.
There's a certain beauty in its death.
The prey and the wood log both turn into ash, eventually.

Why do I do this to myself?
Creating unnecessary stress,
Undesirable pressure.
I can set my own deadlines,
On my own terms.
Yet, why do I feel so guilty
When I miss my own timeframe.
It is kind of ironic really,
As "time" in reality is nothing but an abstract invention.
And "reality" is all about being in the moment.

So softly, so delicately
It lands on my face.
Another gets caught on my eye lash
And quickly melts away
These snowflakes that come from afar
They flew for a short while,
being swept away somewhere.
Before finally landing
To their final destination.
They cover the trees and the ground
And all the homes too.
Together they form a white blanket,
Creating a spectacular view.

Your sounds make me shiver.
Your songs make me cry.
Your rhythm makes me dance.
Your melody makes me feel alive.

Hello little being.
So adorable, so cute.
Mischievous and funky,
A real joy as a kitty.
You climb in bed with me
In the middle of the night.
You cuddle so tighly
Under my arm that holds you lovingly.
You fall back asleep profoundly
And stay by my side.
Who knew cats could be,
Such great bed company.

I used to want to be more like you.
I used to want to be better than you.
I used to want to be different than you.
I used to want to be me.
I just wanted to be happy.
And now that I truly found myself,
I finally am.

The Universe had other plans for you Sweet Child.
Not anything we ever expect for such a young one.
You showed up into this world as a princess.
You left it too quickly as a brave fighter.
Only 7 years old with yet 100 years of life experience.
No child should ever be this sick.
No child should ever be tortured by this terrible disease.
**** You. Cancer.

It took me a long time to let you go.
It took me even longer to forgive.
Now I wish I could just forget.

For years, you've been on my mind.
Too painful to get in touch.
Embarrased is not strong enough of a word.
Regretful. Remorseful.
My most painful memory.
The look in your eyes.
The sound of your cries.
I will forever be sorry.
Your forgiveness is no longer a possibility.

Your crooked fingers are trembling.
Brown age spots cover your hands.
You lift your cup to your wrinkled fine lips.
Savouring a moment to inhale the sweet smell of your afternoon tea.
You smile at me who is obviously staring,
in admiration of you, Dear old lady.

Our journey together was somewhat short-lived.
Only a few months for us to connect.
You seemed to be doing well.
Coming up for air from time to time.
Making bubble nests.
Hiding under a fake plant.
You really did hit rock bottom last night.
This morning, you didn't move at all.
Goodbye little friend.
Our Beta called Beta.
We will miss you!

From within my head,
I know what I want.
From within my heart,
I know what I feel.
From within my soul,
I know pure love.

"Be true to yourself" they said to me.
Over and over again.
But when I finally spoke my truth,
They did not want to hear me.

I am dead to her.
It breaks my heart.
No returned calls.
No response to messages.
Nothing.
Ghosting is what they call this.
I am dead to her.
Yet, I am the one grieving.

It's easier said than done.
That thing we call 'love'.
It's even harder to describe.
Words just don't give justice to its pure intensity.
It is so fragile yet it is one of the most powerful thing.
It's easy to speak of 'love'.
It is much, much hard to do 'love'.

I remember the exact second I fell in love with you.
Totally.
Completely.
Unconditionally.
My entire being, my heart, rejoiced.
Time stood still.
In a second, I looked into your dark, alien-like eyes.
It's like I could see your soul.
In that second, I fell in love with you hard.
Welcome to the world my sweet, sweet boy!
