a letter to my younger self

In our parallel universe, I hope this letter will reach you, my young self. Being 20 is hard but wherever you are now, please know that I'm proud of the choices we made. Things will not going to be easy along the way but I assure you you're evolving. It's okay to get hurt. It's okay to acknowledge that we can't be the perfect person we wish to be.

the throes of embracing you

You're hard to love Even on easy days You're always busy and on the rush When I'm on my bed and you're all I want to touch Perhaps it's the time, distance or everything within us Sometimes, I'd ask myself if I am someone you'd like to be with til the last breathe you'd inhale, is it me you trust? I have never felt what it is to be loved without cease For I could feel you today then tomorrow you'd  act like a breeze That comes and go whenever you please Did I ever entertained you, at least?
