Thoughts Before 2013 Ends

Two months from now, I would start worrying about the things that will happen in the next two months after that.

Four months from now and if I get what I wish for, I would stop worrying about waking up early during Monday mornings.

Four months from now, I would start worrying about the things that will happen for the rest of 2014.

Six to seven months from now, it would be a matter of firsts.

Six to seven months from now, it would be a matter of indefinite temporariness.

But before it happens, right now, I should be preparing.

The red carpet will soon be set for new beginnings. Beginnings that are just waiting at the other end where I am currently standing. It's waiting for me, I can see it. I must start walking before the light goes out.

His Point of View

These are the things I wish you would think and realize, 5 years from now.

That feeling you get when you think...

That everything you do is not good enough.

That you are always the second best.

That you are losing hope.

That you want to be away from the world, far from people who judge you.

That you always complain, yet you still do what you complain about.

That everything is a competition.

That you cannot escape from this kind of reality.

That only you can change your own fate.

That the feeling you get when you think about that feeling will take you nowhere.

I Need You

To the voice I have found and had lost again, I need you.

My hands are itching to write, my creative mind is on the rocks, and yet, you, my voice, were nowhere to be found. Please come back.

I know you would. But please do it now.

I will wait for you.

Even after three o'clock in the morning.

We'll have some coffee.

Things That Are Not Love

"Your salary is not love and your word is not love. Your clothes are not love and holding hands is not love. Sex is not love and a kiss is not love. Long letters are not love and a text is not love. Flowers are not love and a box of chocolates is not love. Sunsets are not love and photographs are not love. The stars are not love and a beach under the moonlight is not love. The smell of someone else on your pillow is not love and the feeling of their skin touching your skin is not love. Heart-shaped candy is not love and an overseas holiday is not love. The truth is not love and winning an argument is not love. Warm coffee isn't love and cheap cards bought from stores are not love.  Tears are not love and laughter is not love. A head on a shoulder is not love and messages written at the front of books given as gifts are not love. Apathy is not love and numbness is not love. A pain in your chest is not love and clenching your fist is not love. Rain is not love.

Only you. Only you, are love."
