maybe there are memories we should remember for the last time - no matter how heavy, no matter how unbearable.
but we must.
so we could keep on moving.

the rain poured gently that night to remind me to remember you in all the ways i can. i shall remember you like a kaleidoscope of colors screaming through the night. i shall remember you like the streak of lights of the passing cars - flashy, dashing, fleeting.

you once told me that life is an endless cycle of coming and going. i wonder if time would ever allow us to be locked up safe in between.

with you i can be infinite.
with you i can feel enough.
let these clandestine meetings be worthwhile.

go on, lead the way.

dance with me, let's be endless. let's be wild.

the time is ours.

if only i could stop myself from feeling wrong about us. but how could this recklessness be scary and beautiful all at the same time?

this is something i want to refuse from slipping away.
this moment.
this memory.
you.
us.

they said love never dies, but my love shall die tonight, a thousand times over.

pluviophile

he was drowning himself with complicated things- too immense to be contained, too intricate to comprehend. behold, this is a sentimental yearning of a boy who made the rain his safe haven.

little by little like raindrops, there were attempts of running, of leaving, and of fighting but it was pointless so he made a home out of it.

there were moments spent for grieving of unknown loss, there were nights spent for thinking of empty thoughts, there were mornings spent for breathing of dying breaths,
there were times spent for being nothing, for being no one, for being nobody.

the rain poured hard and there was silence. he felt that familiar feeling of drowning again.
