Everytime you smile it feels like I am bathing in the warmth of the afternoon sun, slowly disintegrating into the golden swirls that pour from your brown eyes. How often have I melted at your fingertips so that you may scoop me up and paint such beautiful sunsets that tell the stories I have kept locked away. I don't know which is more beautiful, to become a breath taking painting or to be the favourite colour of the painter.
Everything in this world has a place.
And more than often I feel like mine is beside you.
You tell me that you're loosing me a little bit each day.
How can I not feel lost, when you deny me of my home?
Where do I plant my heart, when you close the door to yours?
The worst battles of mine were about you, against myself,
being forever torn between wanting to stay and run away.
But as dawn approaches and the sun rises again,
I loose yet another fight.
I hope one day you can finally see me beside you.
One day, you will know that I've always been there.
That I never left, and never will.
Somedays I crave the touch of another in my soul. I need someone to understand all the chaos inside me but at the same time be intrigued by everything as well. I want to lay down my soul bare, like the musical notes on a white sheet of paper. And I hope someone who appreciates the melody comes along and picks me up. And when they start to hum the tune I have kept hidden in my depths for so long, I'll finally feel like I belong somewhere. Even if that somewhere is just the tip of their tongue or the curve of their lips.
Like phases of the moon, I change the way I see the world. Sometimes it's too much yellow, all bright and beautiful and like the scenes from a ballroom.
And sometimes it's a tired white. With no life left in me to fight. I can feel the sighs of the earth. We share our tears, and I feel safe in her arms.
Every now and then it's green. Fresh and alive, looking like a newly bloomed daffodil. It brings back memories of past summers. A carefree world with a golden undertone.
I also see red sometimes. Like the scream of a banshee and the pain in their eyes. It reminds me of my first heartbreak. Drunk and hurting with heavy eyes, but a heavier heart.
But today all I see is grey. Like the monotonous susurration of the rain, it's killing me slowly, burying me alive. Seeping into me like I am a sponge.
This is why I hate gloomy rainy days.
It feels like I am half dead, but half alive.
I don't know where to belong.
....................................................................................................
The sky keeps pouring outside.
But all that my eyes see are worlds within each drop.
Each one looks so transparent and fragile.
And as they race each other against my window,
I silently cheer for the one that's slow.
Because I know how it feels to be last.
And because I know there's still a chance.
Who knows, maybe when the night becomes alight,
I'll stop seeing the world in blue.
Maybe when the stars come out and paint the sky,
the colours in my head will mix and blend.
And when they do so, I'll wait by the seashore.
Brush in my hand and music on my lips.
Holding my breath, in the fading sunlight.
Susurrations of my heart grows louder,
as I watch the sky being adorned in a soft pink.

Honestly I don't know.
But maybe I love them because they feel like a part of me.
Like I am a puzzle and the pieces are scattered all over this world. As songs and paintings and poetry and plants. And like stars and moon and oceans and trees.
The things I love are the reflections of my soul.
Everything I've ever loved reminds me of who I once was or who I am. I love them because they feel like home. Like they are made of the same things that I was made from.
I love them simply because they make me, me.
Why do you love what you love?
Please let him go.
You were not meant to be this way.
You should be glowing, flowing through stars and space.
Not sitting tired in a corner, away from everything.
Away from life.
You have years ahead .
Millennias to conquer.
He is but a fleeting dream.
A flash in the evening sky.
Gone as fast as he came,
Never too close to feel the warmth.
So please let him go.
There's no way he'll come back.
Or think of you.
Or wish you'd wait.
He's gone on.
And now you should do the same.
Let him go.
For far more adventures await you.
And I promise your broken heart will feel less broken,
day by day.
Let him go.
Let him go.
Just let go.
All I ever did was either chase someone or run away from another, when the only thing I really wanted was to stay somewhere, to let my roots grow in someone's heart and be their anchor in return.
