Words are so overrated

I've been talking non-stop for years

I see you, and I am stringing word after word trying to put sense into these half thought-out feelings

But I am not really speaking, you see

What a wonderfully tragic conundrum

Here we are saying all these inconsequential things

Repeated chain of words

Over and over again

It's lost all meaning

We talk yet we rarely connect anymore

All these layers of sentences

Years of pretence

Now I can't even distinguish between the facade and the crux

When did the facade become me

And I lost myself along the way

Down the alley of scripted words

I just wanted to say

No, I didn't wanna say anything

I just wanted to look at you

Into your eyes long enough to connect

I wish you'd give me a little time

Just pause for a moment right here and just look

Wait a minute and just look

Long enough to see what I really mean

Not everything can be put into words

'Cause sometimes we don't have the right words

Sometimes we don't even know what it is that we want to be known

But it's so important

So important to let you know

Let someone know

To see

To hear 

To feel

Words have stopped making sense

Just like this long woven rant

This is me

This is you

This is us

Can you see it without being told what to see and what to hear

Time's stopped for us

This is a brief hiatus

We are here

Hear us out

Broke a mug today Wiping away the spilled milk Picking up the broken chinks of china Kindness and kinship comes from unexpected places Perhaps they were always there But in my blindspot Always in my blindspot How do we keep missing all that is present right under our noses Hurting the ones closest to us Regrets don't ever stop Do we ever learn?

You taught me that love didn't have to be served with a side of anxiety and for that I'm eternally grateful. I learnt it the hard way that love need not be a precursor of pain. It can be healing, calming and nourishing for your soul. It can be a respite for your over overwrought neurons. A place of solace and a resting haven for all your worries.  Thank you for showing me a love that one can rely on and be sure of. Without question or doubt. I am glad this kind of love exists even in these fickle times. #reverie

  It's positively bizarre how fast someone can take over so much of your being. Remember when Coldplay had sung, "Nobody said it was easy, noone ever said it'd be so hard"? Well, they had obviously lied. 'cause it is that easy. Like nothing ever in my life has felt this easy before than being with you.   Sometimes, it scares me - the fear of loss, the what-ifs that come pouring in. But then I remind myself it feels so delicately precious because of how remarkably beautiful it is. I try to look back on times when I've heard them say to live in the moments and be grateful for whatever wonderful we get to be a part of. After all we are but a fragment of this vast universe. I marvel at how lucky one has to be to experience the wholeness of the universe in these brief moments which seem to last forever yet never long enough when we're together. What a conundrum!  They wrote poems about drowning in someone's eyes but haven't they felt the urge to stay af
