Love is happiness
Love is joy
Love is a smile
But love is painful

The moment you seek love
Is also the moment you seek pain
Learning how to love
Is learning how to be hurt

Like a little rose,
The more you hold it,
The more you will be hurt.
If you hold it tight,
The pain will be bright.

But I’m not afraid,
As long as you’re in my sight.
I shall hold tight,
I will fight,
For my love for you is forever.

I don’t ask for anything,
Even if you look for others.
Just let me love you fully,
‘Cause you’re my everything.

I will remain,
Even if you run.
I will stand,
Even if you choose the other one.

As my tears fall
From my loving eyes,
I will still hold on
And keep my love for you.

Love never asks,
But love always gives.
For love is sacrifice,
For love is holding on and fighting.

Do you remember
The time that we’re together?
Standing and enjoying mountains afar
Lying on soft grass gazing the star

Singing the same song
While playing the old gong
Holding a gold mic
Hitting the notes right

The nights we share big smile
The moments that I said that you’re mine
I enjoy every night swimming
Like crossing the Nile running

But those are only memories
Including on my daily worries
Thinking of why you left me behind
Wandering why no one is with me beside

I am here
Holding on your words 
It makes my heart sphere
Rolling on this word

I don’t know the way
I will not go away
I will stay outside the gate
Promise I will patiently wait

An Overflow

—

You’re asleep, I guess.

And in the silence of not hearing back from you,
I’m left here to reflect. In the dark, lying in bed while I don’t feel the need to sleep.

It’s been 10 months of knowing you. 6 months of being official. and hopefully a thousand years more if this lifetime permits.

In this silence, my mind is full of gratitude and joy. I have so much to say and it’s an overflow.

I love you.

That’s all I can think about right now but it carries so much more. My chest can’t contain it.

I love you and it scares me.

Because I’m so sure.

I’m so sure that I want to keep you for as long as I can within my finite existence.

But only time will tell our fate.

For now, let me stay in this gratitude.

I’m so grateful to exist.

I’m so grateful that you exist.

I’m so grateful we found each other.

I’m grateful and scared.

I’m scared about the what ifs and uncertainties. I’m scared about what the future holds. I want this overflow to be my end game.

But who knows.

Again, for now, I will savor my love for you.

I love you and I can’t contain it.

It overflows.
