Don’t Forget Me

It all started with a simple smile
Fades away the dark and makes it all worthwhile
So innocent yet so pure
My breath of fresh air, mi aire fresco, my cure
Brings in the ray of hope
Lighting up my heart
Fantasizing about a future where we are never apart
Something I’ll treasure forever
Each and every day
Along with the blessing of god
As you take my breath away
Just staring at you all day was never a chore
It became something to look forward to; Something I truly adore

It became more than a day to day – it became a prize
Something I can anxiously wait for all day – from sunset to sunrise
Finishing work up as fast as I possibly can
Just to hop in the car and fly to you like superman
Even in the freezing cold, parking miles away
With no hesitation, just with your presence to keep my will at bay
I gladly moved mountains and tore apart skies
Gladly boasted to everyone about having you by my side
You became my pillar of hope and I became your rock
As time moved on, the more I wish it would never stop
But as we all know, no-one is perfect, nothing is always right
Just as there is sun in the day, there is also the moon at night
Perfectly imperfect, is what we always say
Just don’t forget me, please just don’t lock me away
Keep what we have in the back of your heart
Not asking you to trust what I say but please don’t tear it apart
Everything I have done for you came out of my soul
I have never asked for anything in return even if it took on my body a heavy toll
Never complained and always put you first
But I guess nothing I say matters anymore since that bubble burst

I hope you can forgive me, as I am trying my best
Please believe in the words I asked you in December when I confessed
This is a huge setback, yes I know
But I am trying to do everything in my willpower to create a rainbow
Adding a little color to our lives since it completely turned monotone
I will always be me, the before, the after and I will never leave you alone
Don’t forget me, don’t forget who I really am
I have proven to you by staying by your side when no-one else gave a damn
Stood next to you holding your hand
While the world burned alongside us and as we sank in the quicksand
I chose to accept you and only you for who you really are
I hope you will always remember that as we both heal from this scar
I will always be here to help you out – through thick and thin
Whether we are in this journey together or going our separate ways in a different skin
I promised in the beginning that I want to see you grow
Whether thats personally or professionally, so don’t feel shy to let me know

Things may be hard to swallow now as we try to advance
But I will try everything in my power to make it up to you if you just give me the chance
I want to see you smile
I want to see you full of joy
But Here I came along, with the wrong interpretation as if the only thing I can think of was “destroy”
I ruined our best chance to having the perfect life
Yes i know that all too well
But I just cant imagine a world without you
It oozes out of me starting from my bones down to my nerves even to my cells
Everything in me screams and yearns just for you
All the pictures, videos, memories and experiences we have been through
They were real. They actually occurred.
Please don’t forget me. I love you. I mean that word for word.

Collision of Voices

Alone in the world again

Piece by piece leaving breadcrumbs for another to find

Looking for someone to offer you a different world

That was your problem

What did I do wrong?

What was I missing ?

What was I looking for ?

You let go of everything that made you happy

Receptive to change, you chased everything that was new and foreign

You looked scared

Scared of complacency

Scared of commitment

Scared of sharing your heart

You flew away

Distanced yourself to the point where you were alone

Surrounded by nothing but regret

That was your limit

Was it not enough?

Was it too much?

Was I the problem?

When your vision began to narrow, your choices became limited

Your bad decisions accumulated and you were left with nothing

You looked confused

Confused of what you have

Confused of what you need

Confused of what you want

You loved being wild

You found pleasure in not worrying about the next day

You enjoyed living life precariously

That was your major flaw

How can I get her back?

How can I better myself?

How can I be the man she is looking for?

There is nothing I can do to change you

Live your life to the fullest

I just have to accept the way you are

Take control of your actions

I will just have to accept your flaws

Don’t lessen yourself for others

I wish you eternal happiness

Don’t look back

Freedom

I love the fact that you are in my life, but I hate the fact that you became my all.

I want to cherish you, but my mind is trying to free itself from the future shackles of being bound by your love.

The smile, the tears, and everything in between. Let it be the testament to all of our precious memories.

But that alone is not enough.

As every clock ticks, as every second passes, I am engaging in a battle with myself.

It is a battle that must be won.

A battle that must be conquered.

A battle that must convey my true feelings.

As I lay close to victory, a whisper softly echoes throughout my conscience.

A whisper ever so soft, but yet so sharp.

It’s telling me to close the door.

It’s telling me to stay in the dark abyss – that which we call ‘freedom’.

Freedom to think for yourself.

Freedom to do what you want.

Freedom to live your life as you choose to.

But in realty, what is freedom?

What does it truly signify and represent in my life?

The happiness, the light, the thing that gives me true meaning.

That which truly illustrates my soul.

You.

As I dive deep within myself and try to see what is the source of my being.

I always come to the same conclusion.

You.

Ah, I see. You were the pillar supporting me.

You were the shadow that laid witness to my achievements.

You were my – Freedom.

This truly scares me.

The us I visualize is starting to fade.

It is starting to transform into this distorted picture I never wished I envisioned.

The pain has started to ease as everything becomes brighter.

This light.

This brightness.

My future.

That which defines my true purpose.

That which depicts my path towards success.

The long fought battle has finally ceded, and it is time.

It is time to break free of these shackles and embrace the world for what it is worth.

It is time to be Free.

Stronger

As time flies, love gets stronger

but sadly, it’s just a one way street

It has always been like this between you and me

It’s either the kitchen is dirty, the clothes are not washed

I’m tired of eating and being wary of all the different costs

It’s just too much. You just don’t love me anymore

It’s just a constant battle with you and I’m the prisoner of war

I’m always trying to please you, always trying to make you smile

but you always compare me to your friends and their luxurious lifestyle

I want to keep this relationship alive so I bottle it all in

curving all these other girls trying to come in

they say all the right things, treat me the right way

but it always comes down to your words and what you might think

I’m just an empty canvas sitting here waiting for that moment

that moment where I become complete

But it takes time, but thats okay

As long as in the end, I get to be drawn on with your ink

It’s a thorny path, one that surely no one wants to take

Except for me, but I guess I’m just blinded by your presence

It’s so bright yet so far, but I guess it’s time to put an end to this

Press on that emergency break; it’s time to make myself happy for once

It’s time to be me, and embrace life with all it’s warmth

It’s time become stronger

It’s always about you, and I ultimately end up disregarding my feelings

My inner conscience always bubbles as I constantly hear this voice asking me questions

Will she be okay with me trying to find my inner self?

Will she be alright with me finding happiness?

Wait, when did this become a world about her?

When did this become an express line to a life without progress?

These are the questions I have to ask myself

These are the stepping stones to what I truly want

Yes she may be a big part of it, but it’s time to try a different font

A different style, to go with a different story

A different path that leads to undeniable glory

A trajectory to follow without any turbulence

A fearless life without you giving it purpose any longer

It’s time to conjure up my confidence open up that door

I’ll do myself the honor and without a doubt become stronger

United Again

We started off as one.

Each being the missing piece of each other’s puzzle

But life got in the way and somehow the pieces got separated

It was cold.

It was dark.

It instantly started to feel like if I was trying to gasp for air

But little did I know I was underwater; degenerated

Trying to get my life back up, I went on a journey in search of myself

Got mixed in the wrong crowd, started believing in the wrong people

My story, as I knew it, was over.

It was time to put back this book on the shelf as I head down straight into the dark abyss of self upheaval

Just as I lost all my air and fell down to the ocean floor

I felt a push from my back

It was a force strong enough to lift me back up to the surface

A force strong enough to keep me going for more

This force was you.

You gave me the energy to overcome any hurdle

You gave me that sense of security of having someone there to catch me when I fall

You gave me the determination to continue even though my back was completely against the wall

You gave me the courage to smile even when everything was wrong

You gave me a reason to be optimistic and embrace any potent malice that came along

You gave me power. You gave me hope. Because of you, I became strong.

I found the persona confined with chains deep within me

I found the open vent of opportunity in which it used to resurface

I found the missing piece of your puzzle, and along with it came the path in which you can find mine

If we follow the red string of fate attached to each piece, it will surely guide us

It will brighten up the path until we can find each other once more

All the memories and all the laughs. All the sad times that have passed

It’s time to take back the book from the shelf and let our inner voice roar

It’s time to open up the book and navigate to the last page right where we left off

The last blank page that’s waiting for us to fill it in just like before

With the future as the ink, and our hearts as the pen

Together we stand; United again.
