Intoxicated with You


-
-

I tasted something awful
But I know it is familiar,
Reminiscent to broken dreams
And bitter tears,
Synonymous with 
Crazy celebrations
And first borns;
I figured out that 
I'm having a hang over
Because of too much alcohol,
Too little of you
I woke up with vodka 
In my stomach;
I woke up with you
In my heart.

Desire


-
-
I want to kiss you
But you are so far away,
What do you suggest that
I do then?
Should I stop thinking 
About you?
And forget you?
I cannot do that!
I guess I'll just
Continue on dreaming
About that kiss
Until that day 
I can finally
Make it real, 
Until then I'd have 
To content myself
With visions of you
Laughing with me,
Loving me,
Hating me,
Crying with me,
Snoring with me,
And being with me,
I'm so looking
Forward to that day,
Are you?

My Valentine




-
-

6,679 miles 
Of salt water, 
Dessert and hills,
Rain forests,
And rice terraces;
10,748 kilometers
Of raging rivers,
Plateaus and cliffs,
Murky swamps,
And cobbled roads;
13 hours and 21 minutes,
Of turbulent flying,
Of navigating 
Treacherous shores,
Of coursing through
New found terrain
And lonely homes;
That's how far
You are to me,
But my every heart beat
Does not agree.

13


-
-

I saw you yesterday
And I feel like my life
Is totally about to change,
Though I'm not yet sure
If it's for the better,
But I like changes
Change is good
And everytime 
I look into your eyes
I see a probable future
Of holding hands
And whispers at night;
Of breakfasts in bed
And waking up late on Saturdays.
I saw you yesterday
And thank you for seeing me too.

Out of Reach




This is one of the most painful ironies ever. What do you think?

-
-


We sat beside one another
Yet we are so far away
The only thing that is near
Is my memory of being held
During those long forgotten nights
When all I thought about
Was the warmth of your touch
Not my pending paperworks
Not my overdue bills
I only thought of you
And I know that you were 
Thinking the same
But now, sitting here with you
I don't know if you are
Thinking about it too
You are looking 
Over the horizon
When you could have been
Looking at me
I wanted to touch you
To make sure that 
You are really there
But I stopped myself
I don't think I want to find out.

Hide and Seek



When do you stop looking and start waiting to be discovered?
-
-

I'm tired of looking
For that special someone.
The fabled creature
Of everyone's dreams.
The ever elusive 
Partner, or so it seems.

I have looked 
All around to no avail.
To my utter disbelief
and grave dissapointment
I have seen a lot
I have seen no one.

Comfort me then
Beloved self
For who else will 
Dry my forlorn tears
But the very hand it 
Lands on?

I'm going to wait
For that faceless being
To find me
When I'm not 
Even hiding
From anyone.

Nth Time





When was the last time you let go of someone?

-
-
I decided to let
You go - again.
And you know it
Is not an easy thing
To do especially when
I gave it up for you.
But I want you
To know that
I have no regrets.
I loved you and
You loved me too.
I felt it there sometime
When we were just new.
I tried letting you go
A lot of times before
But every time I wake up
It's you who I think about.

Please let me let you go.

I'll continue loving 
You though.

It would be hard not to.
But please if ever you
Think you will still love me
Love me the way that 
I will love you.
I will love you every time
I do the things
We did.
Letting you go will not 
Stop me from loving you.

Please let me let you go.
