On a warm March day The wind blows through my hair I know it'll get colder Or maybe it'll get hotter Who knows with this weather anymore? I just know that things are okay right now And I should savor it while it's still here. I want to frolic in fields of green and yellow To explore unseen areas of forests beyond the brambles. Oh to envision the world through the lenses of a child again Where everything is new, saturated, and curious. Go running in the backyard barefoot Look at your reflection in a puddle Stare at ants in the driveway for hours It's all the little things that make life worthwhile.

To talk about everything and nothing at all, Moments shared, Breaths and pauses lingering like wishes, Silk- thin feelings, Flowing through your fingers like ribbon, Kissing your knuckles, Relaxing each tensed muscle, Breaking free from the locked mind of pressures, Just one, One being next to the other, Talking, About everything and nothing at all.

A gentle ribbon
Tonight feels like a quiet love story the kind you almost miss because nothing explodes, nothing announces itself. It just…happens. And I’m writing because I’m afraid if I don’t, it might slip through my fingers like something too soft to hold. It began simply. Durian with my girlfriend. Laughter. Then just us. I thought it would be another ordinary night – his presence, my comfort, nothing more than that. But at a red light in Taman Sea, in the hush between cars and street lamps, he looked at me the way he always does – gentle, unguarded – and said my name. "I love you." Once. Then again. And again. Like he needed the words to land somewhere permanent inside me. When we reached my house, I asked him to stop the car. Just for a moment. I told him when I started loving him quietly – how the words lived in my head long before they dared reach my mouth. He listened. Really listened. And his eyes filled. Seeing him like that – so open, so soft – made my heart ache in the sweetest way. Then he asked. Not dramatically. Not loudly. Just honestly. “Would you like to be my girlfriend?” I said yes the way shy truths come out – soft, almost invisible. He teased me. “What did you say?” So I said it again. Louder. Clearer. Yes. I would love to be. After that, the world felt new. Soft touches. Lingering glances. Smiles we couldn’t hide even if we tried. We laughed. Completely stupid. Completely happy. 2.18 a.m. A soft turning point. A quiet beginning. That was it. That was the moment. I don’t think I’m in love. I know I am. I’m in love with him. Only him. And somehow – oh my god– I’m a girlfriend. And he is my boyfriend 💛

Goodnight, Moonlight; Rest you well. Allow sleep’s embrace to pull you under their spell. While death may not take you under his wing For now let the bells of the sweetest dreams ring.

Goodnight, Moonlight
I’d tear the sun from the sky, Lest it burn your eyes; Pull your ship from the grasp of the sea, Lest you succumb to its depths; Quell the winds of the raging storm, Lest it ruffle your hair.

What I’d Do
She can sleep in my bed He can rest on my head She can answer my ‘whys’ He can ask me for tries She can comfort my sadness He can translate my madness But it’s not that easy Love lies when it listens Love cries and love dies Love hides its decisions Love’s unwise and love flies She can light up my heart He can shine in the dark She can heal my disease He can warm up my breeze She can shield me from rain He can help me with pain But it’s not that easy Love leaves after staying Love does freeze and love sees Love believes when it’s praying Love deceives and love thieves

Sometimes you're a footnote. Others can refer to. Other times you're lucky enough. To be a whole entire chapter. Some people go. So they turn into a page. As they wonder why. They're not mentioned, Again by name. Other people's stories. Will stay estranged from you. While others will weave, Their way into your world. We are all just living stories. Wanting to be heard. Needing to be seen. Trying to find a home. Among the margins. Of life. We are all just stories. With something to say. That we are here. Even if it was just, For a chapter or two. We all become stories. At the end of the day.

We Are All Stories
I like you, Honest! I like how you look, how you smell, how you taste. I love the exquisite way you carry yourself And the compassion you’ve always shown others In spite of their shortcomings. How you look so beautiful in that dress at the dance I definitely stared once or twice So yes, I like you, I just wish you would like you too.

He left. I’m not ready to cheer myself up again; to bring all the bright phrases to the point of being so intense and real inside my flesh, I prefer to commit to writing deadly, like there’s nothing more interesting than stamping your departed soul with all the Poets’ nihilism.

Nihilism
You can describe The awe inducing beauty Of a sun kissed morn Or of the towering, starry night sky And never realize it's value

That Of Pricelessness
Plain as my favourite shirt my life was back then Smile I could show, an imprint of happiness To say if I've truly been elated, never until you Life is euphoric since I've met you Jolly I am, truly as a person Though even the cheery, smiles for a reason From then, every day I show genuine grin Even ask people how they have been Life is euphoric, now that I'm with you Sincere happiness, I could tell, it's true Though, I wonder how's it for you Hopefully life is euphoric on your part too

Euphoria
How I know you are my best friend: Everytime something good happens I want you to know I enjoy your company I genuinely love you When I go somewhere I wish you were there with me I have an unlimited amount of respect for you and you respect me back You want to help me and make sure I'm okay and I want to do the same for you You actually care. My mom loves you You want to talk about our lives and hardships and don't care if I vent Thank you for being my best friend. For being you.

My best friend
i turn the volume up, just like any other day, "don't be wrong anymore," to his heart he says. she's doing the same pep talk somewhere out there, swaying to the music, i just couldn't care. cause your words are lullabies that puts me at ease, and envelops my soul against the cold breeze. in the calmest mountains, to you i melt, through the wildest storms, your fire is felt. and for every time i doubt and ask for a hint, your love bursts in me like a million soaked mints. threading oceans for you could never be wrong, but if that's foolish, i'll just sing to this song.

foolish heart
What is happiness for you? Is it seeing the sun shine in the sky or smelling the scent of a loved one? Or is it neither? Most people live each day wishing that they would be happy, or happier. Is happiness a feeling or a choice? Or is it the right combination of both? Do you become happy when you choose to or when you naturally feel it? Or does happiness choose you? No one knows. Because the answer is felt and unspoken.

Happiness
she was a spring morning in the weary winter months that now consumed him a dawn indomitable and like a fresh plucked flower he sought not the wax but gypsum to have her grow again

Dawn
We never came here, our love was too unkind Two people in love, the extras an escape Our love became empty, shapeless, and blind My lungs blackened by the poisonous heartbreak

Lost in the world
They say that in the final 30 seconds of your life, you see either the  best moments, or the entire thing flash before your eyes. I couldn't really differentiate between the two; Thirty. One of the most memorable performances of my life, the day you caught my eye from amongst the crowd. Twenty-seven. That day my friends and I hung out at the pool and laughed so much that I nearly died. Twenty-three. When we were at your place and I cut and colored my hair, all in your bathroom sink. Fifteen. All of us, sleep deprived, but lazily singing and dancing on the pavement nonetheless because school was out. Eleven. My hands hold yours. Your lips hold mine. Six. The final sunset I'd ever witness. Three. Your eyes. Zero.

Countdown
the walls were crashing down on me silver sadness poured out of my eyes i kept running and running but there was nowhere to go except pits of black darkness stumbling, my feet tripped and i proceeded to fall- a warm hand gripped mine and pulled me over the surface more water streaks were on my cheeks as the goddess pulled me in for a hug the warm fragrance of animal crackers enfolded me friendship and smiles in one long embrace and i wondered why i thought i was alone in the first place
