Writings
I was happy, when I met you for the first time.
The sun lighting up your skin,
Your smile beautiful as a sin,
And your hair flowing with the wind,
I almost had you,
Almost! When I pushed your body into mine,
And whispered “we were meant for each other”
You almost loved me,
When I lifted you up when you were sad,
When I held your hand, and promised I would stay
We almost fell in love,
We alm...
Two hands
Almost intertwined
But yet somehow
A world apart
Two eyes
Almost locked
But yet something
Shields their view
Two lips
Almost meeting
But yet somehow
Drifting away
Two hearts
Almost synced
But yet something
Changes the pace
Two bodies
Almost one
But yet somehow
Never close
Farewell, my almost lover...
"Farewell, my almost lover,"
I whisper to the skies.
A serenade of sorrow,
And unspoken goodbyes.
Each star, a broken symphony,
A melody unsung,
The echoes of 'what could have been,
Painfully hung.
In the garden of my mind,
Where once love bloomed bright,
Now stands a wilted Rose,
Enveloped in the night.
Crimson scattered, torn and tattered,
The petals slowly die.
Each one, a silent testame...
Worried she didn’t like me back.
What if she liked guys?
I know that I hardly spoke to her.
Hardly knew the colour of her eyes.
Hell, I barely knew her first name!
Maybe I just missed my chance…
Maybe the chance was made up in my mind.
Shouldn’t have worried if she didn’t like me.
Shouldn’t have worried if she likes guys…
Turns out she already had her sweetheart.
So silly of me to think otherwise....
Waves of the sea
Wings in the sky
What a feeling of passion with you
Oceans as clear as crystals
Love as pure as a dove
What more could be asked of you
As friends we began
As lovers forthcoming
A promise of forever we would become
But broken we became
A promise snatched away by distance
A promise unfulfilled by death
A lonely heart is all that is left
The scar of my lost love still bl...

do you know
what you mean to me ?
i don’t think you do
remember the time we went ice skating
and i had to hold onto the wall
you held my other hand the whole time
you joked about how gay we must look
and god
i have never wanted you more
remember the time we rapped in my living room
and you said you loved that side of me
your eyes were lit up and
your fa...
I wished it could’ve been different
I loved you the most
I couldn’t wait to spend the days with you
The high I felt picked me up from my lows
I remember spending our evenings
At the lake feeding the ducks
Your skin would glow in the sun
Finding you was more than just luck
It was a gift I was sure
I thanked God everyday
I was a man of sin
But you still entered the fray
I remember the days we’d ...
You remind me of the beach
My favorite place to be
And you took me there almost every week
When you could.
When you could walk
When you could talk
When you would smile
You told me to smile more
Told me I worried you
With my “seriousness”
You worried me too, you know.
When you fell and didn’t get up
I still hear the sirens in my mind
They haunt me day and night,
Especially after you had gone
