I do not love you as to hold you in my palms every second,
not as the blessing of wishful thinking, not as sunny days,
I love you as to let you float freely to your will, I love you in rainy nights,
I love you as overtly and covertly as possible. I do not love you as rubies and emeralds but as heartbeats and stolen kisses. I love you as a fleeting moment I may come to regret. I love you with or without cupid's arrow.
I love you.

If we're not fated
to be in this life, then I'll
meet you in the next.
She told me "say what you must, but do it in two words"
I knew two isn't enough to say what I need to,
I needed a third but I could see the anger in her face,
and I decided to try for the two words in the first place.

Don't leave.

& if I had more choices I would beg her with words
saying "baby please don't leave me, I'm begging, trying to make it as your boyfriend"
" I know it's dangerous, the path that I'm taking,
but baby please don't leave".
"And if I could change it, I'll learn to be more careful, because I always need you, so baby please don't leave".

But in two words, all I could ever really say or feel is a barrier between heart and mind,

Don't leave...          please?
It would take forever to write out all the ways that I love you
my love glows bright orange like metal left to sit atop a flame
I could spend an eternity to find something I hate about you
and I'd still struggle to find a single one of your flaw.

Our chains remain under a lit flame,
the metal may burn a bright red colour,
but the chain would remain linked just the same
and I'm in love with you tomorrow, just like I was yesterday.
I love you deeply
just because I can and do;
simply just because.
Each grain of sand slipping in this hourglass of life-
seems to remind me that you aren't right by my side-
the fleeting wide-eyed surprises we shared together
doesn't make up for a better night rest and I'm up again
with a paper and pen, penning my pensive thoughts
that are caught in the back of my skull into words.
The hurt is still there but I'll forget them all if I could
just hold you in my arm.

Remind you that I am the calm after a storm and your-
eyes are the most beautiful gems I have ever seen.
The emerald green really brings out the depth of your heart,
but the art you bleed to life seems to spill off the canvas
and the answers I'm looking for can only be found in your eyes.

Tonight; I'm reminded of how much you made me smile,
tonight; I'm reminded of how much I have loved you.
Every moments pass by, days go by and I know,
I know, I know, I missed the chance to ever see you again.
This pen bleeds my anguish but the tear stained tissues
captures my misused miss yous.

You have cities in your eyes, I wish I could see them again,
the sunrises, sunsets, the butterflies, the birds and the horizon;
beyond the photos,
beyond the memories.

I do not love you as if you were oceans, or aquamarine,
Or the ice cubes that lay to melt as time passes.
I love you as precious petals are to be adorned,
by the stem, in between the Earth and the skies.

I love you as the stars visible in the day
but kept to say all the silent beauty of the night;
thanks to your love for the lit path guidance,
illuminated by a livid canvas, yet alive in my heart.

I love you simply because it is impossible not to,
I love you with every part of my cells and molecules,
so I love you because I can't not love you.

then know; if I live on with every breath, so do you
In my thoughts, my memories and heart,
In my thoughts, you spun the strings of my heart
In the night
I learn to cry
"this life is crazy"

In the light
I hear a cry
"why won't someone save me?"

We found safety in each other's arms,
but this isn't a blizzard fulfilling wishes;
this is a tragic thunder-
living under the care of a sorrowful storm.

Each bolt of lightning
jolts the senses,
It's the thunderous roar
that mends us.

We are the grey in the sky,
pouring tears out of our eyes.
We are the grey in the sky,
made to live and die in a moment of rain.
