You were the first silly thing
Who made me forget about the definitions of comfort
You have braced all my willpower to brave the night
Through to snoring carbon dioxide
On that nerve-crushing bus ride
My blood vessels buckled
God knows how I gravely deprived them
From the healing attributes of oxygen
Those screaming for dear life were something worth the trade
We have smoked away the feeling
Of how wearing it was to get there
You and your innate prowess, seduced me to wild anticipation
I have never loved the gap of partialities
Like a child’s inability to prefer Anastasia from Avengers
Similar to a woman’s heart loving the movies men like better
And it’s always not about love stories
Ceaselessly, movies stood uncovered by the ecstasy of similes
We were but metaphors running other people’s minds in circles
We were made of symbols and depictions
As we danced to the pace of our heartbeats no one has ever seen
Just like how you held my hand for hours under my most valued LC bag.
The next episode was cradled above the soft motions of the waves
As they struggled to reach the shore
And taste its sweetest kiss before they’d wallow back to the deep
They said there’s nothing more intimate than watch the moon
Being engulfed by the sea as its own light
Right there, I hoped badly
That you’d get on your feet and stand next to me
The azure’s mirror tucked me to my sweetest doze
Yet, sleep has no power
Against the sweetest goodnight kiss you dashed on my cheek
I stared at you for more than 5 seconds and since then
I knew you were something…
I have constantly checked on the pair of shoes
You placed beside your luggage
To see whether you have left the room
Or drowned yourself to far-reaching slumber
Trust me, I wanted to be nearer
The gold sprinted morning light
Looked like the best one I had in the province
But you are what the sun always meant
I never knew how you have become my very own glow
My eyes have played its tricks
Like they were built-in cameras capturing scenes after scenes
To my brain’s very own external drive
Yes, they were plenty
Enough to let me relive each piece over again…
The pristine beach breathed out enchantments
Allowing the invisible thread
To tie its ends to each of us for the first time
Time has whispered the tale of how your life merged mine
That was precisely the same time
When the exquisiteness of life and malice became both
It is the secret even the sunset opted not to tell about
It is the undisclosed taking its roots
In the crafty soil of these good memories
They were those that won’t die
Lights!
They defied time as they tricked my eyes incessantly
To that glaring light
The tiny fishing boats casted towards the ferry
You sat perplexed beside me with your busy fingers
Digging track you said has grown in you
Every track you fed
Cuddled the thought to make the most out of what we have
Because baby, we didn’t know
When to breathe the same air again
My pulse ranted about how my heartbeat pumped in a second
Your phone call pulled me from sleep’s incantation
And as I knocked the door I was quite aware that a step farther
Would only validate what lovers in this movie
Said about the “end of life as I know it”
We never said a single word
Because they would only ruin the magic time has created
We moved to the rhythm of our raging thump
That’s kept like seventy-two-some hours
It was the first time I watched you sleep
And the first time I woke up next to someone
I wish I could wake up to for the rest of my life
But there are things that cannot be
Some good things are not meant to be forever
My hands left fingerprints on your skin
Like ancient tags pronouncing piety
Your words cut deep as you said goodbye
With the sincerest look I wish I could hold you a little more often
Your eyes said the same thing…
