I walked in the rain tonight
in absent minded bliss
Just because you said goodnight
and touched my cheek with a kiss

And with each day I am with you
the more I grow unsure
Could your actions mean something more
than merely innocent sweet gestures

If only love comes in black and white
not with all these colors and hues
And it doesn't help that I'm afflicted
of misreading all the clues

If only I could read what you're going through
then maybe I could see
And I wouldn't have to go and wonder
What is it you really feel for me

For though I've been hurt and badly burned
I will still love and give my all
But if catching me was never one of your intentions
Then please, don't let me fall

--

~

In every rain to cloud the sky
Every tear left here to cry
You've my pain, my heart
A part of me 'till the end

For whatever you feel, I feel
I'll love you forever
My soulmate, my friend

--

Imagine the sound of your tears
That somehow refuse to fall
And you try to cry
But not even a breath comes out

And for some reason
The sound of the cars outside fade away
Followed by the leaves and even the wind

Until all that’s left
Is the sound of your heart faintly beating

What is the sound of one heart breaking
It’s when you open your lips,
About to speak
But then the words just get swept away with the wind

And no matter how much you wanted to say
To fight for what you feel
You somehow resign to the fact
That you’ve already lost

It is the sound of yourself trying to breathe
But you somehow can’t
And the walls of your heart
Start closing in
And your eyes simply refuse to produce tears
And your voice can’t even produce a single cry

And in the silence
You hear your hand
As it lands on the sheets
And your knees
As they touch the floor

And after all your outlets betray you
You know that this is worse than dying
That is the sound
Of one heart breaking

I can see that purple hazed golden sky
And a hint of rain that’s coming by
Perhaps I saw you not today
And I resort to scribbling songs and wordplay


You see, I smile when I think of you
I even have these dreams I wish to be true
And each and every hour, every minute, every day
I make words rhyme but most times they just don’t
And most times I just play


Then I feel the wind blowing cold
And missing you is all I know
Bt I don’t worry, the rain will soon hold
And maybe I’ll see you in the morrow

I’ve loved you for the longest time
Ever since you made me realize
That my heart was really beating after all

I’ve dreamt of you on a hundred dreams
And you made me see what it felt like
When I’m about to fall

I’ve wished for you for countless days
That on a mundane morning
We’d cross our way

And even though through the years
You barely saw me
I’ve held on to this bittersweet fantasy
That you’ll be mine, you’ll be mine
For I’ve loved you for the longest time

‘Till the day came I no longer miss the sight of you
And I no longer have my childish games
Then somehow you saw me on the galleries
And asked if I still felt the same

And as I gaze upon the irony
And wondered how you knew
It’s just that I’ve already grown tired
Of waiting everyday for you

So though I’m glad, my one-time angel
That you finally saw me on the line
It’s been long since I walked out of that spell
But I did love you
For the longest time

--

I can still remember
How it felt when you took
Your first step away

And I can still see me standing
Upon the pieces that you left
Like it was just yesterday

And I’ve lived
In constant depression ever since
And I’ve lost my worth as the days went by

But as I slowly moved
To pick up my pieces
Somehow I could no longer cry

It was easier then
To learn to hate you
Than to keep on defending
Your reasons

How do you expect me
To live everyday
With a heart broken into fractions

And somewhere along the bitterness
… I moved on
And as much as I wanted to believe in you
You left me, you left me, you left me…

Now you’ve returned
To finally comfort me
When I’ve already found my way

My love, I need my space
This time around
Before I can meet you halfway

So please try to catch me no longer
I need to be on this place too
For though I know that it’s sad here
I’ll be lonelier with you

--

There’s comfort in standing in the rain,
Knowing that your face is wet not only
Because of tears

And in seeing a sad movie,
Where everybody else is also crying

And just being by the bay
Where you can walk aimlessly
And nobody would notice

And in staying inside any chapel,
Where you are not required to do anything,
Or say anything,
And everybody else is silently praying

Perhaps it’s true that some people
Choose to be sad
Rather than moving on, a single step each day
For if loneliness is my only connection to you
Then for now, I choose to be this way.
