You’re dangerous.
Not in a literal kind of way, like with knives and guns and chains.
No, never in that way.
You’re dangerous in the way you look at me.
Like you can see straight through my flesh and bones and down to the trenches I hide in.
You’re dangerous in the way your tone shifts when you speak to me.
Quiet. Soft spoken.
As if your words are only allowed in my ears. In my head. My heart.
As if I’m the only person meant to understand the language you speak.
You’re dangerous in your presence alone. Confident. Boisterous yet thoroughly contained under well defined lines.
A familiar soul wrapped in nostalgic imagery.
You’re dangerous in the way that feel so familiar and yet brand new all in one.
The way my soul, my very being, feels tied to your happiness.
Like the red string of fate grabbed me by the wrists and said to hold on tight.

two strangers
sat in two different rows
watching The Avengers
but this is how their story goes
today, they will cross paths
and catch a glimpse of each other
the girl rushing to finish her drafts
the boy breaking up with his ex lover
two unacquainted lives intersect
waiting for the right place, right time
like a highly anticipated project
to make two random words rhyme
a few years from now, two strangers
will find their lives intertwined by fate
two strangers to friends to lovers
that will become each other's soulmate
right now, they may not be aware
of the resilient red string
that they both share
like a binding, invisible ring
all the stories they create now
they will share to each other later
exchanging "seriously?" and "wow!"
as they take turns to be the narrator
for now, two strangers
sat across from each other in a tearoom
the boy vowing to have no more lovers
the girl creating drafts for her next volume
