what about me?

basically because
i thought
i was the one
who was always
there for you
i guess
my presence
just wasn't enough
but then again
was there a need
for you to just
completely
shut me on
without telling me
where did i go wrong?
and it's been a year
and all my questions
are still left
unanswered

and it really showed
how much
or should i say
how little
i meant to you
the fact that
we were the closest
and then the farthest
made me think
that friendship
isn't supposed
to be taken seriously
i can't take me seriously
i took you
i took you for real

and all the times we
spent together were
nothing and left empty
and long forgotten and
you kept leaving me

wondering if you ever
thought about me as
much as i did about
you and if you bothered

to check on me to see
how (un)well i was
how i was coping when
i no longer spend time
with you

i don't know what else to say

sometimes even words
aren't enough
to describe the
thousands of mixed
emotions you feel
about a particular
situation and
the sillest thing is
i miss all the
wrong people
and
i never learn

looking out

there was a girl
who put on a smile
as quickly as
it faded away
she was never really like that
it all just happened
way too fast
no one saw it coming
even i thought
she was happy

and one day
we were on the bus
her sitting next to the window
me by her side
we talked and talked
about things that
i couldn't recall
but it sure was something
that made her chuckle a little
but the silence
was still stronger than ever

i was eating
something like a 
Brazilian chicken sandwich
it was delicious
and maybe it was why
i didn't take much notice
of her words and actions
to make me see
that what she might be
showing me might not
but real

when i got of the bus
i saw her
sitting alone
emptiness surrounded her
as if it was soon to engulf
her emotions and soul
and what's left of her
is just a remembrance
of her looking out of the window
missing this boy
who used to mean the
world to her
and still did

and it broke my heart
mainly because i hated to see
her that way
lost and alone
but also because
she was so attached
to this boy
who could let go
of her so easily

and it made me ponder about
me as well
was i just like her
having a hard time inside
and difficulty forcing laughter
and faking smiles
and the funny thing is
4 months ago
i was in pieces i couldn't cope
with the fast pace of life
and handling my emotions
and work was even more of a challenge
but right now
i can say that i could
barely even remember
how it felt like to
lose everything you love
and time doesn't even wait for you

it seemed so foreign
i wasn't out of love
but love was out of me
and that was how i felt
i can't remember how it feels
to be in love
with someone or anyone
that actually does know my existence
and feels the same way
and being broken
seems like more of a
typical routine
than an emotion now

and i knew that
there was nothing i could do
to make her feel better
or make her realize that he wasn't
meant to be part
of her future
but sometimes
it is really that hard
when you expected so much more
from someone because
you were willing to give
that much to them

but he wasn't going to do that
was he?

and here everyone is
waiting for that someone
that someone to be part of our future
and the funny thing is
things have a way
of getting better when
you stop caring and worrying
about things that
mean a lot to you
and when you don't care
things get better

but it comes to a point
where you no longer
care about anything anymore
and you just want to
get over and done with
with this life
but does it make any sense?

a cold morning

i woke up this morning
feeling awfully chilly
with shivers in my bones
and then i realised
how difficult it must've been for you
all alone in that queen-sized bed
cold and unaccompanied 
i felt so sorry
that i couldn't be there
that we were so far away
that if these sheets were states
i'd pull them end over end
to bring you closer to me
and keep you warm

you've such a beautiful being
after one look at you
i knew that i would spend
endless, sleepless nights
trying to write a poem
as beautiful as you
you eyes glowed in the such
and i could drown in them
i'm not too good with describing
anyone's beauty
but for sure
yours is none like the rest

you intrigue me
i want to know your story
you reason behind this sadness
and this mask you put on
each day as you face this cruel world
i want to know all your insecurties
your fears
your past secrets you never told anyone
and all the reasons
that's keeping you
up awake until 4 in the morning
i want to come up close
to get a better look of
that rare but breath-taking smile
and i would have to
stop for a moment to breathe
before you steal it away again

i'm not a romantic
and i can't be sure that this is love
but one thing i am sure of is
i spend all my nights
in bed alone
the long bus rides
the study breaks
to try to think of the best
strings of words i can invent
to describe how much
you might actually mean to me
and honestly
i would rather die
than watch all the things
that make you fall apart

and the other night
we were talking about
how much we hated time zones
and how we never get enough
time to talk about countless things
we never told anyone about
but all i could say was
at least i was glad
i could talk to you a couple of times a day
and the fact that i could
get a chance to hear your voice
and call me by my name
left me missing you
more than ever

and it scares me so much
because i've become
so deeply attached to someone
i have never met
and i am trying to pick up the pieces
of your broken plate
trying to put each and every chip
back together again
and even though the cracks remain
i was hoping that i could be the one
to fill them up
and make you feel
like a person again
and i'm so sorry
if i am not able to do that
and i know you are a
deeply unhappy person
but so am i
and i think our demons
complement each other
and our barely
but beating hearts will
collide into one
and maybe one day
we will be okay again

never said goodbye

there was something about
this really special boy
he often said hellp
but never said goodbye
maybe it wasn't a habit of his
but he always said
"see you" instead
and i wonder why

he was shy
and full of happiness
never made enemies
never really got angry
but i learnt to understand
a little bit more of him
each time we met
and his smile was often the same
radiance in his eyes
and his pearl white teeth
funny thing is
he told me that he never was happy
and just like everyone
i was deceived
never have i met someone
who could show such happiness
without being true

he told me all the ways
he hated how things went
the rumours
the annoyance
the problems
and i always assumed
that he never seemed to mind
maybe they're right
maybe it really is true
when they say that
the person who appeared
the happiest person
always with the cheerful smile
is in fact
the saddest living soul
and that wasn't the special part of him

we never really spoke
when we around people
he didn't like the attention
neither did i
but everyone else did
i knew he was here to stay
when he was the one
who never said goodbye
and when i thought
everyone was all the same
never here to stay
and soon to be gone
he didn't go
when everyone else did
he was the one that cared
when no one else did

how truly lucky i am
to find a person like him
now when we speak
no longer there is
a invisible barrier between us
to listen and judge
our every littld conversation
no one to make a scene out of it
and i find it funny because
i always thought everyone were the same
difficult to read
not who they seem to be
and never a real friend
if only everyone were a book
with a synopsis at the back
worth to stay if worth reading
and if it was interesting
intriguing
i'd read till the end
if only things were as simple as that

but no one
no one but one
made me believe that
most people were meant to go
and only the special ones stayed
and the special ones
never said good bye
they only said
"i guess i'll see you again"

a poem for this boy

this poem is for the boy
oh so mysterious
just like the moon
with a part of him always hidden away
i wished i could be there
to see the side of you
that no one knew
the one that cried till
the wee hours of the morning
over this girl who stole your heart
and never returned it
i want to see you at 3am
when everyone in the house
is all fast asleep
while you lay there staring at the ceiling
wishing she was yours

i remember the time
you confessed your feelings
and showed your crooked soul
to me and it made me
hold you even closer
even tighter in my heart
and you didn't know how
the littlest things you told me
formed my world:
the moon
the sun
and all the twinkling stars

and everyone told me
that i shouldn't waste my time
on someone who couldn't let go
and at times i wondered why i did
maybe it waa because
a part of me was just wishing that
you would realise that i was the one
here from the beginning to end
and maybe
hopefully fall in love with me
but you loved her too much
to make that possible
and i want to give up

but thoughts of being able
to take away a fraction of your pain
to save your tears when
you can no longer hold it
and to assure myself that
the next time i see you
that smile wouldn't fade away
it will stay on your face
even if it was by force
it would look real enough
to make me believe
that it was the right thing
to hang on to you
and you eyes
they glow so beautifully
even brighter than the sun

and i remember the time when
we met for the first the first time by the pool
and the warmth
the waters
the voices of the people
comes back all to me
and how we were both too shy to ask for names
and how we just begun a conversation
as if we had known each other for years
and i think that was the time
we might have actually clicked
and probably the only reason
to keep on believing in you

i loved your presence more than i should
and more than mine
and maybe i might not
love you like lovers do
but i love you as a friend and
you are the most special
being on thia planet
who is worth to be written as a poem
and make me hold on to this
soon-to-be meaningless friendship
that i hold still so tightly
in my heart and i guess
all the jealousy of this image
of this perfect girl that you love
and no one can compare to her
i still believe that you might be worth the time
