So Beautiful

I can never tell you how beautiful you are
Your eyes speak of a million truths
Your smile lights up any conversation
Your lips show the purity of your heart

I can never tell you how you fill me with ardor
Or how totally amazing you just are
Your timid ways
And the sparks of brilliance that you never seem to run out of
No one compares to you

I can never tell you how much you touch my life
In a multitude of little ways
You give me something to look forward to
You are the morning sun
And the gentle evening breeze
You are the first few drops of rain
And the calm in the storm
You are the warmth on my skin
And the air that surrounds
You are everything I see
And everything I do
The day is never done without thoughts of you

Is it your radiance?
Is it your grace?
Is it every action and reaction
That shows the world
Your love and tenderness
Your fierceness and fervor?
Is it the million and one things
That go through your head?

You truly are precious
And only a fool
Would not want to be with you
For the rest of eternity.

9 A.M.

I open my eyes
As reality stirs my consciousness
Still tossing and turning
Still wrapped in a calming warmth
Still awed by misty apparitions
Still hearing voices
In the silence and light of a new day

I am weak, starving, and lost
What happened to everything?
Where is my strength?
Why do I feel?
And what do I feel?

I wish I could just go back to that silent fallacy
That broken vision that seemed like it could last for eternity
Caught in the unceasing trance of the night

But now I have to get up and move on
Feeling like I haven’t moved in years
Not being able to open my eyes
For having them closed for all time

I seek retreat from the new day
But I am compelled to rise
Get my feet on the ground
And tread on

Dreams come at night
And days are meant to be lived

Lib Steps

The days pass
And I know I’m moving on
As I try to stay away from you
But be with you in my mind

But today I saw you
I saw you and I knew that there was something
Behind your smile
My heart stopped beating as we stood there
With glimmer in your eyes
And misery in mine
Barely an arms length from each other
But always worlds away

I reach out into nothing
And take a step away
Still focused on your face
Listening to your voice
Lost in foolish admiration

I reach out into nothing
Feeling the pain of seeing you smile at me
Knowing that when you turn away
We’ll walk further from each other
Step by step, breath by breath

And I know I won’t see your smile anymore
Until my heart stops beating again
And time stands still
And I see you smile
The glimmer in your eyes
The misery in mine
As another eternity passes
And goes.

Auburn eyes

The loveliest pair of auburn eyes I've ever seen.
Depth I want to drown in.
Sensibility I understand.
Laughter that brings tears.
A smile that multiplies.
Sweetness.
Direction.
Passion.
Beauty.
Truth.
Marvel.
Dream.
Fleeting.
Past.
Gone.

Kung okay lang sayo

Hey there. You must be wondering why you’re reading this letter. Actually, I’m not entirely sure myself. All I know is that I have to do this. I have to get this over with and get it off my chest.

Truth is, I’ve been trying to deny how I really feel. There are so many reasons why I shouldn’t and almost no good reason why I should. So whenever I start to feel something happening, I just try to avoid it as much as I can. Unfortunately, I’m not very good at that. I guess I just want to finally admit it and then move on from there. I’m tired of lying. And as much as I don’t want to do this because of pride and fear, there’s a bigger part of me that’s telling me to just do it. And so I will.

As it is ridiculously obvious, I like you. And I have since the first day we met. I don’t know why but I just do. There are so many times when I’ve made a fool out of myself because of this and it’s about time that it stopped.

I’m not expecting anything to happen. I just wanted you to know the truth. Sabi nga nung kanta diba, I want nothing more than to sit outside heaven’s door and listen to you breathing. So there, I’ve finally said it. I hope nothing changes and I trust that nothing will. I guess that’s it. Thanks for reading till this part, if you’re still reading this. ‘=Þ I’ll see you around.
