A Bitter Sweet Memory of Us

I remember the first time I put my arms over your shoulders, the first time I held your hand unintentionally, the first time I hugged you from the back and smell your fragrance.

All those things happened on just a simple yet meaningful day of us, but did you know what hurts me? It is when I realized that all those things happened on that day, were the first and the last memories of us that I could cherish.....

Before I Let You Go

All people have been felt to love,

But not all people have been felt to be loved.

Some people knows how to break someone,

Since they don’t know how it felt to be break by someone.

I don’t understand why people keep crossing paths.

Since in the first day, we knew they’ll just leave a spot.

I don’t understand why people always fell for someone who just came along

When they know it will eventually hurt and make us drown.

They say that love accompanies pain.

Still, I risk myself for something I know worth to gain.

I believe that pain makes people braver and stronger

And that’s the main thing that meets two hearts together.

I have loved you with all that I can be.

Even though it does not what you want to be.

I tried to fight and take a chance for it,

But the feeling of being unwanted is that what interdicts.

You wanted me to let go of you,

But I’m not that strong enough to get through you.

It’s crazy to hold onto something that constantly hurting

But it’s even crazier to let go of something that is all I’ve ever wanted.

After all, I want to thank you for everything.

You not just gave me a feeling of something but a feeling of everything.

There would always be a part of you deep inside my heart

Though the intimate feeling I had with you had fell apart.

Letting you go is never easy,

But I know I need to set you free.

These words I had utter, came from my heart that flow

Remember that I love you, before I let you go…

If I were a boy

Sometimes I dream and wonder,

to live in a boy’s character.

For in love; esteem professes the equity,

we should also proclaim the gender equality.

If I were a boy, I would make you smile,

though the distance between us is a hundred mile.

I would stay with you in all the time,

just through message and phone call hanging on the line.

If I were a boy, I would bring you happiness,

I’d develop a good sense of humor at its finest!

Cause to see you happy is more than anything

most specially in times that I feel nothing.

If I were a boy, I would be gentleman,

not to take-off your clothes, but to hold your hand.

Cause every girl deserves to be respected,

we should abolish the feeling of being mistreated.

If I were a boy, I would love you most,

I’d appreciate everything and be not boast.

For pride in love should not abide,

Remember to keep someone worthy inside.

If I were a boy, I would treat you my queen,

who would fit perfectly as I am the king.

Cause in our kingdom full of infidelity,

I am the one who’s filled with integrity.

What If's

            Have you ever been into an uncertain situation with someone wherein you want to burst out all the love you have for her but there is something within you that interdicts? This question denotes my condition towards love. I have passed over different attributes of people and all of them are enchanting to be with but then I already have someone to proffer my love with.

            For my special someone, I want you to know that I’m glad I have found you and it’s not my eyes but my heart that choose you. It’s hard to be in this situation and I’m fool to stay in this passion but when you try to understand, there is something inside that I can’t hide; it’s the happiness I feel whenever you’re around. I wasn’t planning on loving you but I’m happy that I did. I’m may not be perfect, I annoy you and say stupid things to you but one thing is for sure... I’ll always love you for all that you are, all that you’ve been and all you’re yet to be. Its a firm and stiff condition since I can’t demand neither expect anything from you because we doesn’t have any commitment at all. I’m afraid to ask, clarify or elucidate everything as I may erroneously comprehend it and realized that “there was never an us” quoted from a movie I had watched before.

In spite of it, I want to thank you for all the joys and happiness, for all the care, love and courage… Simply, I want to thank you for everything that you gave me to keep me inspired in my everyday life. Although there’s no strings attached between us, I would still be true to you. I would treat you the way you should be treated; just like a princess. I would take good care of you and your heart, spare time with you, keep you happy all the time, surprise you, love you and appreciate you.

I believe in the saying “regrets are felt when it’s too late.” It may be a risky decision to stay with you, but I would risk it all for you. As I don’t want to regret everything when the time comes, I would risk myself to show you you’re everything and you’re precious to me even though it will cause me great pain and heartache eventually.

No matter what happen between the two of us in the end, just in case we end up losing each other and everything… I would definitely profess that I’ve been true, not just to myself but with you -- no doubts and what if’s.
