The simple words you utter to me.

-
In silence *tick tock, tick tock*
I heard the fluttering of your heart
And the fluttering of mine

Your simple yet bolds words
Piercing deep within my world of scars
You penetrated my heart 
And showed me the world anew.

How brave of you to enter so irrevocably
The steady yet nimble pace of your love 
Banging on the walls surrounding my heart
Blooming like petals 
And falling every 5 centimeters per second like cherry blossoms in spring.

You have such a high opinion of yourself 
It makes one wonder if they are nothing more than dust in comparison to you.
Your uncontrollable and withdrawn nature
Which piques my interest even more.
Of how a shy country rat like you might develop into a well-defined specimen.

How cowardly of you to confess your love so easily 
So straightforward and brazen
Your every word pushes deeper and deeper into an everlasting void
Your gaze reached and touched every part of me 
Your attire shows off your traits.

I hate you for that 
But I can't help liking you for that too
You know how to wrap a girl like me around your finger
But you didn't know I was the girl that could wake you from a dream.

I wish you chose to love me today.

This is the first. The first of many words I wish I could tell you. The first of many emotions I could express to you. Our time was cut short. We couldn't be the people that we hoped for and searched for. Rather, we couldn't do it together. I have always thought that what we had was impossible to find. God brought us together and nothing could tear us apart. I was wrong. So many things are against someone finding happiness in another. So many things barricade us from the deepest emotions we wish the other could understand. I love you. Those three simple yet extraordinary words could shake the planet and defeat worlds. I love you so much that it pains me to say goodbye. These words that I've held onto from the start all the way until now are words I don't wish to forget but you force me to return them to memories. I didn't have words before because I wrote based on the pain I felt and even the storm in my life that took over I still was at home with you. You were som...

What are the Possibilities of Love at First Sight?

-
This is where the lie that I was afraid of gradually worsens Supposing I'm just like the rest but concealed for the beauty of your eyes Maybe it's the way I talk or the way I act that creates the push-and-pull effect I'm not the person you know  I don't even know the one you know  That sometimes scares me because I don't know the image of the person you painted in your head  It could've been the side of me that rarely comes out that you fell in love with What are the possibilities of love at first sight? Maybe one in a million to you, but when you explore everything that's to come  You'll compare me with the rest of them  I'm just like any other and don't have much about me  I'm stuck with the person I used to be  In a place I don't wish to be The constant repetition of how much you love me Drives me to insanity, making me think that I have the capabilities What are the possibilities of love at first sight? These feelings that I have, sho...

The Complicated Expression of Love.

I have concluded that my life is absolutely dominated by the meaning of love or maybe it's the feeling. Not just romantically but every form of love there is to exist. The warmth, and need for love constantly draws me to believe that I can't function without it. I struggled with the meaning of love for years. The confusion I faced in my relationships always made me question the validity of my definition of love. I used to hear that you can't define love but what if there was a more straight-forward definition that most of us overlook. 1 Corinthians 13:1-8 says, " Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.  It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres." What if we were to cultivate these traits within ourselves? I think doing tha...
