When I see you, I see myself. 

How much we don’t look alike

How much I’ve been told we don’t look alike 

Yet, I stop to think or see how much I see myself in you. 

Mother always says how much they see themselves in their daughter. 

As a daughter, I want to say I love what I see. 

Your eye, your laugh, your future, past and present.

The feeling of your presence is what keeps me going. 

The feeling of your presence is what makes me make the right decision. 

On what I see
The joy of a laugh
What has been of my future
What has been of my past, and what has been of my present.

I love what I see and, I see myself in you.
Hope you enjoyed on what feels today.

Honestly and truly, I will always love you, no matter what. Even if there is no hope for us, no matter how busy I am, I will always stop to think of moments with us or words that remind me of you or significant things that made you cross my mind as the leaves change, soon come into contact with age, and new life begins. I always love the person you are not, the person you have become, and the person you are becoming. I also love being in your presence. I am just drawn to you no matter what; even everything that comes with you, your happiness and your grief, I would take that risk, and I took full responsibility.

You don’t seem hard.
you don’t feel hard
I feel hard.
I know you see me hard.
I am in pain and agony, and I can’t cry any longer.
I should have made you feel what I feel.
I should make you feel the hardship and the agony of my tears.
I should show you the hard that you don’t feel.
I should lay my final blow, and you shall know.
my hard.

I just want to layout on top of a straight line to mourn over my past life that I left behind. The new beginning has waited for me for so long that I thought pride would have come over me, even though that is not the case, no matter the circumstances of your past life, it will always follow you to your new life. It never escapes your new beginning, no matter how happy you are, the moment you layout on top of a straight line it all comes back to you.

Why I am not sad about what I wouldn’t have accomplished is because everything I did accomplish is far greater than I can imagine. Even though I think you were the closure, I need it. If that closure weren’t met, I think I wouldn’t have ever moved on and let rain finally fall. I am on an endless road that has come to a stop. All I can do is turn back and cry. I never knew I would make this far that I could turn back and cry. Now I am just standing here with a confusing wet roadmap with my hesitant foot on the edge of my stop while the other is eager to go back.

Years and time again we say, what is love, how we know it’s love
It goes like this in every conversation
Love is, love is this, no love is that
debate go on and on
year and time again we say, this generation don’t know what Love is
It goes like this in every conversation
Love is, love is this, no love is that
but I say love is you
What you like
The good thing you never had before
love what you want it to be
Love is flesh of other and soul that makes them.

Was I truly that blind for the feeling they had for each other?

Was I truly that blind?

Was it just my point of view that didn’t catch the questionable site?

Was it a figment of my imagination?

Was I truly that in love to think I was the only one?

Did I portray my whole relationship as this happy ever after, and beyond that, it was more complicated to my existing eyes?

To those existing eyes, it wasn’t us; we never crossed their minds; we were never existence.
I hope you like my first poem on hellopoetry.
