Five Minutes to 4 AM.


It was blissful.
We had a great conversation,
Until midnight,
Until dawn.

It was peaceful,
Reminiscing our youth,
Remembering the good old days,
The process of discovering.

Green and blue were the colors,
You were happy,
Smiling from ear to ear,
While the world broke your heart in two.

Surprisingly,
You found the other half of your broken heart.
You asked for help,
And I'm the one you chose.

Twenty notebooks,
And you couldn't rid any of them.
Years and years,
And you stayed the same.

Things are easily taken away from you.
But you kept your heart behind the door.
Your body is a moving vessel,
A sacred one, and scared.

Don't worry,
I'm working on this.
One day,
I will walk away.

You were right.
I can't do anything alone.
Flaws and imperfections,
Drive me to work harder.

I won't wait.
But I'll keep my eyes open.
I won't be blinded by the rays of a new day,
No matter how dark the night ahead may be.

Goodbye, London.


He left that morning.
I hope he left with no regret,
I hope he'll find what he's been looking for.
Because there is no turning back.

His last words still echoing in my head,
"Don't hurt yourself like I did," he said.
But this is the price we pay,
This is what we came for.

Minds like ours cannot be tamed,
And I wonder how long this will last.
Your colors are getting darker,
I was blinded, I was too far away.

Maybe I'm in love.
Too in love,
But too weak to carry on,
Too selfish to face the reality.

London is a lovely guy.
He never asked for more,
He never asked for love.
He loves me for who I am, and it's hard.

I got your messages.
I listened to it for hours,
Pain on pain on play repeating,
The burden gets too heavy.

I had hidden a lot of things inside.
I never dared to show them.
In silence, I tried to kill them,
But the heart wants what it wants.

My dear London,
I'm writing a letter I will never dare to send.
Touch my swollen eyes,
You can read me, go ahead.

London,
Come back to me.
We could have been so glorious.
I miss you already.
