A feeling

Sitting on a ledge
Gazing with unseeing eyes
Across the vast expanse of the sky
So empty is the feeling of loneliness

To be unloved when I've been loved
To be untold when I've been told
To forget what I've been shown
So lonely is the feeling of emptiness

Last Kiss

I remember when I first heard from you
Not too long ago, just a few months back
My blood was pumping
My heart was racing
Excitement bubbling in me as I clicked on your email with trembling hands

Ever since that fateful day, I’ve been living in eager anticipation for the day we can finally meet
I heard you on air
I saw your videos online
You make my head dizzy
You make my legs jelly
There was not a day that passed that you were not on my mind

Then not so long ago, the unthinkable happened
A pleasant turn of events, and my life changed

And now, I have little choice but to part ways with you
With a tearful eye, I gave you one last kiss
With an aching heart, I bid you a fond farewell

Goodbye my dearest Blue October concert ticket...

A Shoutout

I’ll be there for you
When you’re feeling sad
When you’re feeling lonely
In your hour of darkness
When you’re feeling lost
When you’re feeling perplexed
Or when you’re really stressed
When things are looking down
And when you’re real depressed
When you feel so alone
With dark clouds in your head
When the road ahead is blurred
Not knowing what tomorrow brings
When you’re feeling blue
Just have me in mind
Cause I’ll be there for you

Familiarity - Contempt

Every relationship starts out with a bang. Every couple has gone through that initial sweet, loving phase, commonly known as the ‘honeymoon period’. Even the most idealistic know that this honeymoon period is just a temporary stage and will fade in time to come. Why is this such a sure-fire thing? Does familiarity breed contempt?

As we spend more time with a person, we’ll gradually let our guards down and become more at ease and comfortable with the other party. True, the whole point of spending time with a person is to get to know him/her better. However, beware as this is a double-edged sword. As you become more at ease in his/her presence, your ‘human’ side will inevitably start to show. You’ll start to floss, fart, burp, wax in front of him/her, as you would have done when completely alone. While the conscious mind will say it’s a sign of progress for the relationship, the subconscious will tear away all fantasies or god-like images he/her previously had of you. You will soon cease to be the hot chick/stud in his/her eyes and you’d no longer be the coveted prize; rather, you’d just become someone who fits the bill for a life partner, stable yet dull. When that happens, the honeymoon period is officially over. Yes, all because familiarity does, to a certain degree, breed contempt. Word of advice: maintain that air of mystery, some things are meant to stay private.

once...

A soft touch, an innocent kiss
Simple things that I once knew
A fallen tree, a broken branch
Could this be the place I used to love?

I see my reflection upon the river
My heart is bleeding, but where does it show?
O’ happy days! Where are you now?

Give me back the simple things that once made my heart sing

Bring me back the simple days that once put a smile on my face

These are a few of my favorite things
