If You and I

If we were only more understanding

           - we would not end up like this.

A sad ending we haven't foreseen as we were starting.

If only love is enough to get this relationship going,

We wouldn't get tired of waiting.

If we could turn back time and get back the lost time

There are many things that we want to correct.

If only you and I were mature enough

We wouldn't end up like this --

Drown on each other's mischief.

To My Favorite What-If

I should have answered you with a yes;

But I just shook my head off

As you knelt down and asked me a question.

Now, I'm dreaming of our "what-ifs".

Words Are Not Enough

To express my feelings for you

It is not enough to show how much I care.

Words are not enough

To say how much I love you.

It was a nice feeling that someone loved me, 

And showed his love for me. 

It WAS.

Alone But Not Lonely

Yes, I'm alone but not lonely

All by myself but happy

Happy in my own little world

In a very special way.

What thoughts go through your mind at night?

Unspoken Feeling

"Well, what do you think about at night?" He asked.

I was startled at his question.

"Uhmm, well, it's .... Oh never mind." I gathered all my strength to stop myself from speaking.

I was afraid. Afraid that he might start to avoid me.

I wanted to tell him what it was. That it was him I ever thought of. His sweet smile that captures my soul. His dazzling eyes that makes me go blind. Every structure of his face I've memorized.

"What was it? Tell me. Is it me?", he said jokingly.

For one second I thought I'm gonna blurt it out.

But I just smiled.

And that was it. The night where I had the chance to say, "I love you, is it alright?". Now, every night, I just looked back at that day. That conversation goes through my mind at night.

Love’s Ain’t A Script

Love comes by unexpectedly and goes not easily

It's no movie script that stars follow

There's no take twos, no director's cut and no editing to make everything nice

Love is an independent feeling, a natural phenomenon

It knows no bound and accepts all things

Love loves unconditionally; it comes unplanned

You can never know what's the next scene is

Or say that this would have a happy ending

Love is not a word you just say in 'I love you'

It is over-used, becoming meaningless over time

This comes with an action, a devotion to prove

That you, too, are worth-loving, worth-spending the rest of life

A relationship is not a script which you could easily throw away

Or revise its content when you don't like it

It's a serious matter ~ falling in love

An undeniable feeling, a rollercoaster ride of life.

A Secret I Never Got to Tell

It's dark out here

Maybe full of monsters lurking

Waiting to devour every bit of me

Out if nowhere sprang the monsters I feared.

Their sharp eyes stabs me like a knife

Fangs cut deep through my skin

All of them, grinning at me

Wanting the flesh of my body

I cried, cried, and cried

I tried to blurt out a word for help

But I just cried... helplessly out there

Years had gone by; memory never faded

As I passed by the same road that night

I felt loneliness inside

That night became a secret I tried to cover

And will still be for the rest of my life.
