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.

Dead End

  -

  -

What do you do when there's no other way but to start again with nothing?
*Friend, this is made for you.

-

-

Tears gently fell off

The curve of your cheeks

Bringing with it

All your love for me,

Or the little that is left.

You spoke of words

I once told you,

Of promises I never kept,

And times I never showed up,

You spoke without a heart.

With your blank stares

And matching indifference

I realized that this is the end,

For me, Never for you.

I lost your love for me.

Of Candles & Cakes

Who do you wish for?

-

-

I blew a wish

Towards the fire

And prayed that the wind

Carried it all,

Not just bits and pieces

Of my song,

But everything

My heart longs for.

I hoped that those

Who ate slices of the cake

Did not devour my wishes

Because if that's the case

Then my only desire

Will come running down

The dirty drain,

My future gone into the sewer.

I felt the wind

Blowing against me

And in that instant

I saw all the dreams

Carried by the wind,

The very wind that carried 

My birthday wishes,

I started praying.

I asked the heavens to not let 

The wind blow against you.

I don't want you to know

That my wishes are about you,

It's a secret between me and God

Just like how we kept things

between us.

Love Gourmet

You think I can't read?

We thawed.

Not like the glaciers floating 

In the midst of the Atlantic

But the kind of thawing

Required for a piece of meat:

Lacking artistry

And full of crass.

It satiates not heart's thirst

But the flesh's hunger.

I have never realized

That a haloed person 

Can be so cruel,

When I did nothing but

Give more air under

Your wings.

You fried me

With all the love I

Have given you,

So much so that it

Became a poison to all

The wounds I started to lick.

We could have made 

Scrumptious offerings to one another.

Sadly you chose everything

To be blandly half baked.
