He would do everything for her
Out of love
He would hide at night to let her rise
He would burn and shine to see her light up

Sometimes, she'd cover him at an eclipse
The result so beautiful, captivating in the sky
Like they were made for each other
The perfect match

His love was a never ending blaze
The only thing constant in her fast-paced life
A bright, warm presence to keep her comfort
And she loved him just the same
Tumblr inspired... And maybe partially Science class

Maybe I should stop talking about love LOL idk I decided to end this one on a happy note because yay

How do you know when it's over?

When old habits disappear
When he stops noticing the little things
When he seems to not care that you're hurt,
and he's tearing every single fibre of your heart to pieces
When he forgets to tell you goodnight
When you run out of things to talk about
When he's suddenly bored just by talking to you

It's over
When one simply stops trying

When I was younger, I wanted to grow older
I couldn't wait til I was taller
So I could finally ride the rollercoaster

Adults seemed like they were always right
Always the ones scolding, not putting up a fight
As if they had no problems and their burden was light

They had no projects & homeworks
No papers, theses & essays
No cramming, just relaxing

But as I grew older, I wanted to be younger

So I could get away from my boss
So all the paperworks would be lost
So I won't have to work just for so much cost

I miss my mom at night comforting me after a nightmare
I miss when we'd run around in underwear and no one would care
I miss eating grandma's cookies, and wishing I had more share

Those were the days with no responsibilities, full of carelessness
My biggest problem was choosing what color to use for my princess
Or what color I'd pick next for my braces

But growing up is inevitable

Just like how the sun rises and sets
Just like how we made careless mistakes
Just like how we had to learn the hard way

So while you're young, embrace it
Live every moment to the fullest
Make mistakes, take risks, never let an opportunity pass

Because life is too short for that

Silence expresses what words cannot
Saying more than just talking
Silence is not absence nor stupidity
But trying to find the words to express your thought

Some things are better off unsaid
Because silence speaks louder than words
A communication like no other
A deeper understanding

If you can't find the words to what you want to say
Then don't say it
If you really mean it
Silence should be enough
i dont even know what this is i just started thinking about how silence is better than words

How many times do you say "I'm fine"
But really mean "No, it hurts too much & I can't take it anymore"

How many times do you say "It's okay"
But it really isn't

How many times do you say "Everything's fine"
But really everything's falling apart and nothing's right

How many times do you say "I'm sorry"
But really mean "That's right, you deserve to be hurt anyway"

How many times do you say "I love you"
But don't really know what 'love' means

How many times do you say these things
Not 'cause you mean it
But just because it was the right thing to say
Or to simply cover yourself up

How many times do you wish there was someone
To hold you at night
Who understands, who knows everything behind what you're saying
And will love you for it

Sometimes
It’s as if it was just yesterday
Just yesterday when you tore my fragile heart from my chest and shattered it into a million pieces
Seemed as if though I would never find happiness, ever again

But its been two years since
Why do I find myself looking back
Didn’t we say “no regrets”?
Didn’t we leave on good terms?

I remember those nights
Nights when you’d fall asleep while we’re talking
And the next morning you’d apologize and call me beautiful
Those nights when you’d made me feel like no other
Like nothing else ever mattered, as long as we’ve got each other
Those nights when we’d make plans
To watch our favorite band together
To go around the world in each other’s arms
To stay strong no matter what others say
Those nights when we’d have those little arguments
“I love you more”
“No! I love you most”
What happened?

It all suddenly stopped
Our love was like a car accident, everything all of a sudden
A driver who suddenly brakes, suddenly stops
Suddenly flies through the windshield, shattered, wounded
Everything happening so fast
Is there ever time to mend the wounds?
Wounds which were the only remnants of our love
Wounds left by you who once said “I won't let anyone ever hurt you”
Funny how the people you love the most are also the ones who can hurt you the most
How ironic is that?

As my brain goes overdrive, overthinking what could’ve been
I think, what if I just miss the memories, not the person itself?
Its pretty amazing having someone who loves you
But that’s life, and people really do come and go
Everything happens for a reason
I really do like to believe so
