Today was something special
I moved on from past after all
Whole credit goes to you my dear
I'm sorry I left early,
As I didn't wanna see your tears
I feel like I'm falling for you
But I'm afraid to tell
My dear be with me always
I can't promise to give you heaven
But I promise it'll be far better than hell
Someday I'm gonna tell you my feelings
And wanna ask thy feelings for me
Do you feel the same?
Or I was just being lame?
My dear I want our story to start
And I promise I'll do everything to make our story last
Till eternity...

i shoulda
woulda coulda
stayed and fought
your screams
grew too angry
your temper grew too hot
you brandished
cruel mistakes made
like serrated knives
i fled and hid
knees buckling
at this domestic strife
i swore
i'd grow the strength
to come back inside
but never did
my backbone grow
my resolve just up and died
i wish
i was more powerful
and clung to you so tight
but i just
got into my truck
and drove away that night
A simple rhyme scheme to express those moments when you fail to push through the pain and strife and tell someone what they mean to you, to say "I'm sorry", and to let them take out their frustrations with you.

Gleam of sunshine strikes,
Your face I see, narrowing my eyes,
Another beautiful dream?, I ask myself,
That warm fuzzy feeling in your lap as I lay,
I still remember that day.

Filter coffee, scrambled eggs n bread,
Sip by sip I gaze you, see you blushing red,
Your eyes signal me "hurry up, we gotta leave"!
I smile, I promise I won't be the one to delay,
I still remember that day.

Out we set, crossing unparallel roads,
With every milestone something new unfolds,
Passing trees, passing peaks, you suddenly point your finger,
You say "look! the horizon, at last we've reached the bay",
I still remember that day.

The grains of sand, drifting beneath our feet,
Your hands in mine, this azure sea, I feel complete,
We snorkel, we ride, we surf over the tide,
Walking the boardwalk under the sunset, we espy the dolphins play,
I still remember that day.

Further down the street, we stumble upon a nun,
She points the way to her church, to the north, the white one,
In the twilight sky, bells ringing high, you sing hymns,
With reflected candlelight in your serene eyes, I watch you pray,
I still remember that day.

Now we had been out all day, we were ravenous,
Entering a bar, on cloud nine our happiness,
Shots after shots, we crush everyone at the game of darts,
For us champions, next rounds were on the house we didn't pay,
I still remember that day.

Today after 25 years, you're going through our album,
Your sudden grin, the reason I can't fathom,
You walk up to me briskly, show me an old photo of us both,
And before you ask, I read you this poem and at the end, I say,
"Yes my love, I still remember that day".
A beautiful story from one of those days that we never forget, that are worth remembering forever.
The poem starts with the day and gradually ends towards the night but what lies inside it can only be comprehended by reading it ;)

he slowly approached life
who was shimmering with hope
he dared not to touch her,
for the fear, he will hurt the one he loved the most

but life saw the pain in his eyes
and decided not to care
as she held his hand and held it close
and death thought "life was indeed, unfair"

"Why are you doing this?"
he said with deep regret, in his voice
she looked at him lovingly as she caresses his face
"i felt, this was the right choice"

And right there and then, he watched life
as she started losing all her strength and glow
she weakly smiled. "I love you" she whispered
before she disappears, she wanted to let him know

Now death continues his journey
remembering life as his best memory
she taught him how unfair everything can be,
not even death, can predict what happens to thee

The mesmerizing aroma
is like the bubbles in soda.
The feeling of satisfaction,
giving into the attraction.
Was willing to give it a chance,
but It tipped over at first glance.
January feels like it's been forever. But someone made it worthwhile.

I am sitting at the window seat,
On my way back home,
I just hung up the phone,
Saying I’ve got nothing to talk to you anymore.

Every time I look out of the window,
I see the moments we have shared,
Remember how you held me tight,
right in front of that brown building.

Remember when holding hands was fun,
when we were just too drunk,
And that kiss on the cheek,
Because we were too shy to say things.

Wait a minute, am I dreaming, my eyes are wide open,
Still thinking about the moments in which I had you in them,
Is it all a lie, should I regret it?
Falling in love with someone
who is so close to me and yet so far?

I am walking on my way now,
I still am looking at my phone,
Maybe I should call you and tell you,
that this is how I feel about you?

What should I say?
I am happy that you are back with her,
you better hide what is in your heart,
and tell her everything is fine,

I am not going to bother now (yeah, I know, that’s a lie)
Almost called you, tried to text you,
To tell you how I still feel about you,
That I still remember the touch of your skin,
the smell of your perfume and the cigarette,        
I can hear your voice in my head,
Everything that has transpired like flashback stories right there,
Back to Back…

I know I should be just friends with you,
and at least have you as a part of my life.
And I know I should just shut my thoughts,
and not explain anything at all,
But I still want you,
Maybe I thought you should just know,


Do you ever think of me,
while walking through the door,
or, maybe holding hands with someone,
or leaning in while sharing that drink at the bar?
Do you or do you not miss it?


Oh, because I still remember the 3 AM talks,
the warmth of your body, the moments we shared
I can hear your voice in my head,
everything we had played like stories,
Back to Back…

We met
We talked
We dated
We roamed
We explored
We clicked
We cared
We caressed
We kissed
We embraced
We made out
We loved
We fought
We ignored
We did that all

In this Fall
We fell in love
We have seen ourselves
We came and gone.

I asked for you, just before you showed up
When you appeared, you got me confused
And I began to wonder, can this actually be true?

Maybe I was too lost in my imagination, and you are just indeed a figment of it

Letters became words and then sentences
and my anxiety grew deeper
Then my thought wandered, what if this is really true?

Maybe I was too lost in my past, and you were just a safe haven for me

That day approached very slowly
My wired brain began to fear the disappointment
I start to ask myself,  What if I don't like you?

Maybe I was too lost in my fears, and you were going to be too good to comprehend

Early December came like a plague
The thought of you under the same sun made me flutter
Then my heart gently pounded, as I see your face appear from the dark

You are in fact a figment of my imagination
Giving me a safe haven to shield me away from my hideous past
But somehow, You had become a reality that was too good to comprehend

Now I ask you, was I a figment of your imagination as well?
Or perhaps, that reality you were searching for?
I wonder...

To the boy I fell in love with...
I’m glad it was you, I wouldn’t want my first love with anyone else. You treated me like no one else has before, I was always loved and cared for, you gave me your attention when I was a hassle, dealt with me when I couldn’t even deal with myself. You treated me like a princess and I’ll forever be in debt to you for teaching me what I deserve because now I know to never settle for less than what you gave me, I’ll only settle for more. I’ll miss our late night talks, your cheesy jokes and the way you grabbed my hand whenever we were in public so I wouldn’t get to far from you because you knew I’d get lost. Who’s going lift me up when I don’t want to stand no more? Who’s going to be my #1 supporter now that you’re gone? With you I forgot about all my insecurities and worries and time stopped but now my world is crashing and you’re gone and I’ll be here picking up the pieces by myself. You promised you’d never leave but everyone does, I just thought you’d be different. You were my angel, the one who healed me and showed me the light. I’ve learned nothing last forever but I wish we did
I knew I lost you maybe I could’ve saved us but crying seems like a better option right now
