Questions

Is it still a love story
if you were not given
the chance
to love?

Power

After saying how I feel, we died.

That’s how powerful my words are.

Open Door

“Why aren’t you getting inside,” the open door asks.

Why should I?
When he’s not on the other side.

Nevermind

I don’t mind being trapped,
as long as it’s inside your heart.

Magic

With just one look,

the end

into

and then…

Losing

Something about the way you say

“I’m letting you go”

tells me not to give you up.

Empty-handed

While I can’t hold you in my hand,

I’ll hold you in my heart.

about-face

I don’t understand why
you turned your back
without saying a word,
but I believe in this:

The world is round.

to turn away
will lead you back
to me,

eventually.

Xenophobia

You’re the foreign territory

that I’m willing

to get lost in.

Winter

My experience of winter is merely vicarious:

Palms reaching for a falling snowflake.

Fingers placing a checkered scarf around a snowman’s neck.

Arms and legs flapping on soft ground, forming snow angels.

 

I haven’t genuinely experienced the beauty of winter,

but I know it’s never too late.

 

That’s how I feel whenever I look at you.
