Forever and Always

I had gazed at her so much, as much as one could be gazed at. " I'm beautiful. You've told me all evening." She let out.

Under that graveyard of stars, she curled up next to me. She let my sweet breathe caress her swollen eyes. "The glowing moon, the twinkling stars," I managed to squeeze out under the weight of herself laying on my chest, " are symbolic of how beautiful you are." I heard a giggle and couldn't help but break into a smile.

Time has changed nothing at all. You are still the only one that feels like home. How I wish we never get to figure each other out, that we always want to know what we are about. That when you say love, I say you. I'll always say you. I might be guilty of being the typical guy, but we are not just any other boyfriend-girlfriend couple. There's so much more to us than just infatuation. Than just lust.

Like a building without a facade, a book without a cover, I too am stripped of any identity without you. Just like the moon and the night sky, we are perfect together. Forever, unstoppable, unconditional. My love for you will never end. Together forever. Nothing to break our love. Us amongst the stars, you being the brightest of them all.

Let's not just grow up together, let's also grow down a little. Life doesn't have to be so serious. We ought to have our days of fragrant flowers and a life full of laughter. There's a place called forever and we only get there through never saying never.

Love, wasn't put in the heart to stay; for love in itself isn't love until you give it away.

So, let us build with master art, a bridge of love between your life and mine, a bridge of understanding, strong and fine. Till we have formed so many lovely ties, there will never be room for walls to rise. Then time will come, when I'll join my life and heart to one that matters the most. Yours. I'll share my dreams with you who was sent from above. It will all start from that special moment when we shall become one.

Without you I can do my own laundry, though I'll always lose a sock. I can cook, though I'll always break a yolk. But without you, I can't read my own eyes, hear my heart... Our thoughts and emotions to share. Our pleasant moments together to cherish. Our pains and sorrows to endure...

A life of sunshine, riches and wealth. An easy pathway that leads away from change or growing old. These I can't promise. My heart's devotion, a smile to chase away your tears of sorrow; a love ever true, ever growing. A hand to hold in yours through each tomorrow. This I promise 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...
