LOVE

From the top of my head: to all the nameless faces.

You don’t even know my name, 

yet you waited when you saw me. 

Hidden face, exhausted eyes, 

since, I haven’t been the same. 

I can tell you’re not from here 

by the way you seem to doubt, 

we will never meet again, 

hope I helped you find your rout. 

She has never seen their faces, 

and it’s clear they are a pair, 

so she’ll move a little further 

after all it’s only fair. 

They have told me I’m naïve 

for believing in another, 

that I shouldn’t give my sit, 

no one here seems to bother. 

Or perhaps they’ve never felt 

what it’s like to just be aided: 

to be shown a little smile 

when the world looks grim and faded. 

So it saddens me to think 

someone may be feeling down 

and nobody realizes 

all those tears behind the frown. 

There is nothing wrong with caring, 

handling life gently and slow, 

handing out a helping hand, 

and allowing warmth to flow.

From the knot in my throat: to someone I’ll never touch.

Your arms are still

my favorite form of comfort, 

but I refuse to say it 

out loud. 

Your hugs are still 

the strongest of painkillers, 

but I’m honestly 

not proud. 

Because every time 

you hold me 

all my problems fade away. 

And every time 

we’re close 

I end up hoping you could stay. 

Your arms are still 

the safest place 

but you’ll never catch me 

saying it. 

Your hugs are still 

what calms me the most

even if you’re not 

aware of it.

From the best of my smiles: to all those special people.

Bump my shoulder, 

glance at me when I laugh, 

accept I might be broken, 

you joke until I cough. 

Sit with me on the grass, 

let’s share this bubble tea, 

text me while we’re in
