Six months ago today, I held your hand.
I begged, repeatedly.
Asking you, please stay.

Unbreaking Chains
159 days = 22 weeks and 5 days.
Ask yourself, what do you do with 159 days? You go on a long trip. Fly across oceans and conquer all the land borders you can find. Drink too much. Meet people. Fall in love. Fall in lust. Get lost. Lose yourself.

As You Turn Away
On nights when I can barely keep my eyes closed, my mind just wanders.
Aimlessly.
Sometimes, I think of you. The hows and the whys.
Repeatedly.
Continue reading “As You Turn Away”Each Turn.
One step forward. Two steps back.
We fight, senseless arguments, we hurl words that can never be taken back.
One step forward. Two steps back.
Hues of red, pink and orange, staring back at us.The world made perfect, just for us.Only for us.
One step forward. Two steps back.
Doubting forever. Endless tears. Cold starless skies. Silent screams.
One step forward. Two steps back.
That first time our lips met. That first time you laughed at something silly I said.That movie we barely saw.
One step forward. Two steps back.
Questions and undaunted fears. You cry. I break. repeatedly.
One step forward. Two steps back.
And then we pause.
Over Coffee and Goodbyes
Have you ever thought, how something so clear can ever make you feel disoriented? Confused that one very turn, clouded judgments, complicated decisions, can cause tears —
Immense pain. Make you lose countless battles.
They met, not by fate, but by chance. Fell in love, deeply, by choice but never by reason.
Have you ever thought, how something so hopeless, can ever make you feel this optimistic? You hope, and fervently pray that at the end of the winding road, you see her. Waiting. That maybe, just maybe, you did something right.
To deserve her. To be loved by someone like her.
They met, not by fate, but by chance. Fell in love, deeply, by choice and never because of circumstances.
She needed her. Held her. Made her feel alive. One bus ride. One perfect day at the beach. One starry night at the castle towers.
Then one lifetime without her.
Have you ever thought, how something so beautiful can ever make you feel this. Unbearable darkness. With her last words of hate, stinging your soul. Scarring you for eternity.
They met, not by fate, but by chance. Do they say goodbye out of choice?
Never Stop.
Listen closely.
Do you hear the familiar lines of our song?
She asks.
Do you want to dance?
I smile.
Do we take it slow?
She leans in.
Do I hold her?
Listen again.
Is that her voice calling me home?
Or is that us saying goodbye?
Listen.
Run Away.
Come take my hand.
We’re inches away, several miles apart.
Just a little closer. Just a bit more.
You tear up on cue, with a wary soul.
Clouded judgement, forgotten memories.
We promised forever, minds at war.
A love of a lifetime.
Where did we go wrong?
Shards of glass broken, as still as the moonlight.
And now, a fleeting glimpse of goodbye.
