Unsent

When you reached out, I put my hand in yours
Our fingers clasped and you owned my heart…
The warmth of your touch I still recall
Though vague…though surreal…though an illusion…
It was but a dream: that happy ending…
As love was just a diversion, an assumption
For in my reality, heaven is as good as hell
And the darkness is the only real thing

My heart is broken for the millionth time. When I saw him yesterday, every piece of hatred just vanished. Before he even noticed I was there, I quickly walked away…the way I always did. I didn’t want him to see me nor did I want to see what his eyes revealed.

Why do I even think that it’s because of me that there is sadness in his eyes? Why do I wish that somehow he is also miserable without me in his life?

I don’t know when I’ll be able to fully recover. Maybe not, but I desperately hope I would.

I long to see that glow in his eyes and the smile that creases on his face every time I crack a joke or two…or every time I simply look at him with a smile on my own face. But I need to wake up already!!! And accept the reality that we’re not meant to be. He belongs to another while I am left just to wander around.

When will I set myself free?
How could I bury the memories in the past?
Who will come to save me from all the pain?
Why am I letting him go if he’s the only one I hoped to love?

You came into my life and made me believe in love, but like an angel in the night, you had to leave before the first ray of sunlight touched our skin. You filled the emptiness in my heart, but when you left me in the rain, the hole has gotten bigger than before.

There will always be a space in my heart for you even if the harsh truth dictates you could never be mine. I told you to leave me alone, but deep inside I wished that you’d stay. I hope you never believed when I said I hated you because my mouth utters words my heart doesn’t really want to say…

So, please hear what I’m not saying. Please listen to the whispers of my soul. Though I tell you I no longer love you, God knows the truth that I will forever do.

I will always hold you close to me even when you’re far away, because the wind will carry the compassion, because the heat of the sun will beam me your warmth, because the waves of the ocean will cradle me with your affection, because the sound of the birds will be the song of such bittersweet romance.

Let me dream that you are mine.
Let me wake up with wonderful memories of your smile.
Let me float to the tune we both used to dance.
Let me feel love from the songs heaven used to play.

There is nobody else I want to spend the rest of my days with, because when I looked into your eyes the first time, I knew you were the one. It’s hard to accept the fact that you and I were merely just passing by in each other’s life.

You were the one I knew I’d give all of my life to even when I wasn’t the only one. I cherished every memory, not thinking if they would ever become regrets. Was it a mistake to give my love to you? I didn’t care then. I didn’t mind if fate planned for us to go our separate ways because what mattered was you filling that void in my life even if it wasn’t for a lifetime.

Let me love you still.
Let me express the affection behind your back.
Let me reveal the love I feel for you.
Let me grieve as I walk out of your life.
