Let Me Love You

They say short girls are the best. I tend to think tall girls are intimidatingly sexy. Your presence hit me like a wave. Even in the middle of that crowd, you were the only girl I could see. Temperatures rose. My heart beat so fast I could feel blood racing in my veins. My vision went blurred for my only focus was you. For a minute there I grew deaf. I could only listen to your smile.

Your skin tone, not light not dark but a shade of flawlessness. Your color so lovely, it sings with a rhythmic melody of beauty, roars with elegance. An African beauty, with no need to be made up or made over. Naturally stunning.

If only I knew the key, the key to make you smile, smile to me. For you have a smile so bright, so warm and gentle, so soft. A true delight. You smile and my heart beams a while. If the stars were not so far, then maybe...maybe they would, with the brightness of your smile, spar.

A day or two I guess, won't even be enough if we had to talk about how beautiful you are. Well, I have a few things I have to say. My hope is that I won't scare you away.

I may seem not to be your type. Probably, I ain't even. But here we are, can't you give it a try?

Sometimes I wonder how I feel about you. Scared of these feelings because they are still fresh and new. Should I confess or wait until...? Should I hold your heart or forever yearn for it? I really long for that day when our lips would meet. Should I live another day without saying how much I...? Or should I die as a friend, veiling these feelings that I have for you?

I catch myself thinking of the best way to share. Then I catch myself again...and drag my thoughts back to reality. People say, dreams have an underlying meaning and not to ignore them. The dreams I have of you are so vivid and clear. Hear what I am about to say to you. Feel it with my body. See it in my face. Hear it in my words.

Let me love you. Love you with a love that is pure. Make you never doubt but always sure so you will always feel safe and secure. Let me love you. Love you unconditionally and true.

Like a drop in the ocean, like a needle in a haystack...I don't wanna feel lost. Like a fish out of water, like a teardrop in a loud laughter, like love in a heart of a hater...I don't wanna feel like a stranger. So all that I ask of you, can you give me a chance?

What I feel for you is something I want to share with you. Hoping that as time passes, you will feel half of what I feel for you...to me. Patience is a virtue and time is at your disposal. Waiting for you answer. I'll be waiting here, just for you.

Why Her Not Me?

Slowly I learn. I'm learning that being kind to myself is not being selfish. I'm learning that my body, my body is mine, and is not to be compared to any other. Slowly I learn that if you ever want to fall in love, you fall not for words, but for actions. You fall for the way their presence makes you warm, not the way their compliments make you blush. Fall like petals, ever so slowly and with all of your grace, not too hard into a place still unknown. If I had a thousand lives, I'd learn all the languages. But I only have one, so I will take pain to master the language that will bring us together, closer than ever, till the beginning of forever. I thought love was portrayed wrong in the movies, because how could something that beautiful be so effortless. I  thought it was supposed to be hard. That it meant I had to heal somebody for them to be able to love me. You showed me how wrong I could be. Now as I reflect on the taste of your lips, I know I let true love slip through...

Trial and Error

  "Confused by your words and tempted by desire, I let you steal my heart. Then you tore it in two. While others saw it as lust and impulse, I, for a moment, thought ours would be a symbol of never letting go. The ache in my soul ripped at my gut. I burnt from within. My skin was on fire. Loneliness consumed me. I built a wall so high to keep the world out. The calm on my face was an ongoing sin. Hiding the pain. Hiding the hurt." His sheets were a shade of red. Her body lay motionless by his side. So peaceful and serene. Himself, head in hands. Eyes flooded with tears. He definitely felt like a bad person. Playing two hearts but also playing with his own. It felt like one was forever and the other for the moment. But the moment felt right. What if, the moment is not only for the moment, and it's forever too? 

Between Dreams & Reality

Sometimes, the most precious things in the world are meant to fly free. They are yours for only a moment before they slip away, leaving you with a haunting sense of what-ifs. I’ve been in relationships before, but this time was different. This time, I was truly happy. She was like the scent of freshly brewed coffee in the morning. Falling for her felt like summer rain—at first, a light drizzle, then a hurricane; with thunder and lightning, intense and fast, meant to dishevel, but never to last. I still remember the first time we spoke. There was an immediate connection, like an invisible thread tying us together, something strong and unbreakable. When I say unbreakable, I mean that no matter how hard we tried to distance ourselves or un-feel what was between us, the invisible string kept pulling us back together. This was different from any relationship I had before. It made me reflect deeply and left me wondering. If she had stayed, maybe I could have loosened the threads enough t...
