all the things we do for love

It's amazing how much love can push you.

Love wakes you up on a Saturday morning even if all you wanted to do is catch up on some snooze.

It can make you hurry to beat the deadline just because you want to give what is just and due.

Love lets you survive the entire day even when you never batted an eye for sleep.

Love can help you withstand the scorching afternoon heat and keep you dancing despite the complaints of your sore feet.

Even if your throat starts to burn and your face turns all red, 

still with your voice so small,

     you never give up and remain to stand tall.

Others would wonder and never fail to ask 

"Why keep up and do such a tedious task?"

With all its troubles and pressing demands, why bother to actually lend a hand?

You can only smile, you can only nod.
There, there. They cannot look once and just understand.

This love, it has burned steadily for years
It was this path you've chosen; it has seen your fears.
Why give up now when the journey's just getting started?
Why leave when you're already on your stead?

It might be tough and dear me, the roads are still going to be rough.
But I'm holding on, counting on this little voice,
"As long as you are happy, as long as you know you still can, trust your choice."

It's The Little Things

your empty words

I am not a princess,

I would never be.

In your eyes I might be perfect

but please, there isn't much to see.

Don't tell me I am pretty;

Please spare me of those lies.

I had enough of words,

Let no tears fall again from my eyes.

Once is enough,

I would not dare do the same

Never shall I trip again

with your perfectly phrased claims.

Please don't shower me with your words,

I might just make another mistake

of falling into your clever traps

and leaving my heart unguarded,

easy to manage, easy to break. 

how amazing you can ever be

   The heart is a fragile little thing. One careless move and it could break, break into millions of pieces that sometimes you can hardly put back in one piece. It would be a whirlwind of emotions and yes, it would hurt. But it would be worth while. It would be a time that you can look back into and be proud that you've taken the risk and survived to tell the tale. 

  However, you cannot just send yourself into the battlefield. You cannot just go rushing into the world despite your willingness to be that one who clears the cobwebs. Your heart needs to grow. It needs to equip itself with the  It takes time to be ready. It takes time to arm yourself to face the pain and joys of loving. It takes time to make yourself as whole as it can be before it starts being broken again.

   Be patient. It is all what it takes. Learn to wait. Learn to take things one step at a time. It can be a slow and tedious journey but it would pay off. 

   Don't get your hopes up high too fast. Take it easy. Do it as if you are climbing up a ladder, one rung at a time. It is okay to strive for something you want but don't exert yourself too much. You'll get there soon.

  Don't let your fears speak loudly. It's okay to be afraid just so you won't let them define you. We are all human after all and we constantly worry about the things that might come. Take it slow. You'll conquer those worries. Believe and you will.

   Mistakes happen. Don't be too hard on yourself. Trust that you will do better next time it happens. Trust that you learned from the experience.

   Fall but know how deep the fall can be. Don't go rushing blindly and plummet to your defeat. It is okay to find yourself with certain people who eventually run off and leave you hanging. There are always those kinds of people who know little about being there for somebody. Allow yourself to cry. Heal. Just don't stay that way. Pick up the pieces and hold your head high. Smile and believe that everything would be alright. Trust that it would be and the tides would soon roll itself on your favor.

 

  The thing is, you can be amazing. You can the pitter-patter on someone's closed window. You can be the sunshine on someone's cloudy day. You can be the cold, refreshing drink after that long, tedious run. You can be all sorts of things far greater than you can ever imagine but still you can be overlooked. You can stand over the rest but to others, you can be just the plain doughnut. But don't worry. Someday, someone would recognize that amazing person in you and that someone would be the one for keeps.

  But today, enjoy what life brings. Live today. Be brave in facing tomorrow and accepting yesterday. Move on but remember what everything taught you. Life is an adventure. Go and show the world the amazing, marvelous you. 

   

 

holding back

There are things that I wanted to tell you,
thoughts I have once buried deep
now can no longer be subdued
they are simply not mine to keep
and there are things you want to tell me
tucked in the small corner of your mind
I can sense within you a sea
of emotions and reason entwined

But somehow I got lost into translation
I kept my silence and you held yours
And I am left to wonder what if I took courage
what if I told you what I felt,
what I thought,
what I knew,
would I still be writing
all these metaphors of you?
