Strangers' love

I set my mug down on the table.
Clink.
I couldn’t manage to figure out the word cross.
I frustratedly dragged my hand across my face,
And decided to take a break.
I looked up at the crowd, and my eyes immediately found them.
In all my people-watching, I had never seen people like them.
Their eyes were so full of affection,
And joy radiated off of them like a golden cloud.
All of this love felt so warm, even from over here.

I watched their smiles grow,
And their conversations flow,
But only for each other.
They never seemed to notice anyone else, 
Their attention never strayed elsewhere.
I had never seen a bond such as theirs,
So beautiful and raw,
Just pure everlasting love.
There they sat, in all their glittering glory, far across the room from me.
And all I could do
Was yearn for a love like theirs.

  • Delight and Pain


    Friends are delight.

    Someone to confide in and feel safe with.

    They will listen to all your worries

    And love you though you are not perfect.

    They will always help you see the light
  • Starry home

    I turn my head to the sky,

    While closing my eyes.

    I drink in the moon’s soft glow

    and let it dance across my face.

    Thousands of stars watched me

    With my feet rooted in place.
  • My Best Friend


        He was always my favorite, out of all of them - It was barely a competition. He knew it too. Ever since the day that I met him, the day that he was born, we could never be separated.
