tell me

Tell me about your day,
What you did upon waking up,
Was it a part of your routine?
What was the first song you heard today?

Tell me about your goals.
I want to know what motivates you every day.
I want to know the reason why you work hard every day.
I want to know your aspirations and dreams.

Tell me about the things that scare you.
Are they the ones we see every day?
Or they the ones inside your head?
I want you to open up to me. I'm here.

Tell me about the things you love.
I want to know what makes you happy,
the things that make you smile.
I want to know what cheers you up.

And lastly,

Tell me you love me
Even if you don't mean it
Tell me you love me
I want to hear it
Tell me you love me
And let my actions say
"I love you too."

i had one rule about falling in love, but i broke it when i met you

If I were to write a list of all the guys that I ever liked or loved (if the word applies), you will see one thing in common: they are not part of my closest circle of friends. Sure, I consider them as my friends but not the type that hangs-out every now and then. Not the type of friends your parents know by name and by face.

I made it a rule for me to never ever like a close friend. And then you came. 

I didn't want to accept it at first. The feeling scared me. I wanted to stay to what was familiar. To something I was used to. I used to like someone else back then and I kept convincing myself that it was still him. Because I was terrified of how much I could love you. You were so close to me and I was scared of risking that. Also, I didn't want to give you the permission to hurt my feelings if I ever fell for you. And, if I ever loved you, I wouldn't want to give you broken pieces of myself. I was a mess back then. I knew I wasn't ready. 

But the feelings were so fucking persistent. You were so nice and you made me feel safe and comfortable. You gave me feelings that I never felt for anyone else that I thought I liked or even loved. You gave me pain and happiness both at the same time and you challenged me. 

I didn't ask for it but you found you way to my heart. I found myself wanting to be near you every day. I loved your perfume and I loved how you smile at me every time you look at me. That smile made me want to risk it and embrace the feelings I have for you. It made me feel less scared. 

So I risked it. And the best thing of it was that you feel the same. And boy, I'm so glad because you are so worth-it. 

The transition came so natural. From friends to lovers. And I think that's the best kind of love. You are so unaware but you know its there and you're both happy. 

And I thank the heavens, the Universe or whatever heavenly body might have intervened to lead us to this.

We attended an event together with our friends. It was raining so hard. That event was a complete hassle but you were there, we were holding hands, so the rain, the crowd didn't matter. I was feeling completely relaxed because you were holding my hand until you let go. You had to go somewhere. You had to come fetch her. You told me I could be selfish about you. So I told you not to leave. But you inisted that she needed you. I needed you too. But, you wanted to go to her. You wanted to go to her even if that meant being soaked in the heavy rain. My heart then was as heavy as the cloud. I couldn't breathe. It was like the crowd suffocated me. You were fighting for her.

And then, you left me there.

And you went for her. 

just another love poem

so i thank the universe,
because in this world so diverse,
i have stumbled upon you
i'm glad,
glad that you're with me in this world too.

i apologize for i can't find perfect rhymes,
and i can't formulate perfect verses
to show how grateful i am
that i have you

but my love,
please know this,
and please do not forget,
you are the inspiration
in every word that i write
in every sentence that i type

my heart calls out for you
and only you

the best thing

you are the home that lives in my chest,
in this world, for me you are the best.
i often dream of you,
thoughts of you keep me from
feeling blue.

you knocked the wind out of me,
you got me feeling glee.
easy as 1,2,3
baby, you're the best thing for me.
