Uncertainties

It’s already been aching for a long while – the dull ache beating against my chest, threatening to suffocate me to death. Yet, it’s addictive. It’s like taking drugs, a race against the time bomb that ticks down second by second. You know it – you know that one day it’ll explode. You know that you’ll be shattered to pieces.


Every single day is my challenge to smile. Not any smile, but a genuine smile. I’m thankful for a stable lifestyle, though very hectic indeed recently, but thankful nonetheless. It’s a process I’m still trying to learn, a process that cannot be forced, only practiced. It’s something that I must learn to accept, mentally challenging and emotionally draining, but I must accept it nonetheless. It’s very very tiring. 

It’s guilt. It’s desire. It’s the very quintessence of human nature; to want, to desire, to dream. It’s the essence that keeps us alive as a human race; to strive for better things each and every day. I’m trying very hard to draw the line, but somebody keeps telling me to blur it out. Yes, what’s the point anyway? 

My language is obscure as hell and so is my train of thought. Perhaps I shall be hit by the train of reality hard, but until then I shall keep walking the tightrope of fantasy, praying I don’t ever drop.

Starlight

Once upon a time my love for you was fiery and intense, and every single little word of sweet nothingness meant everything to me.

Once upon a time I meant the words I said to you and firmly believed that we would make something out of ourselves that we could be proud of in the future.

There came the first wave, the second, the third, fourth and fifth. Our grounds were shaken, promises broken and trust shattered into tiny little fragments that cannot be recovered.

Darling, we tried to salvage everything between us. You never forget your first kiss and you never forget your first taste of true love. I never doubted that, and never will.

Once upon a time, love was meant to be pure. Had I plucked the flower out of its soil, today it shall be returned back to the ground. Love is admiration and healthy satisfaction, never aggravation nor desperation.

Darling we may be over for real this time, our flames have finally extinguished for each other. Nonetheless, every single once upon a time with you was beautiful, it’s a pity there would not be a happily ever after.
