everything love isn't.
i promise you
this won’t be about you
why should it be
i've been waiting but
you’re as fickle as the second
hand on my clock.
i'm not writing about you.
you're dreaming too much
maybe you should stop clawing for a
future because
there’s no “us” in “future.”
you and i, we’re not the same.
you walk the fine line between love and lust
i walk the tightrope.
i'm forgetting that day
you whispered wo ai ni
and made my blood cells
applaud for you
and the day you lit up that prison
academy with only your
voice. gorgeous voice.
forget it all, please.
too bad. move on.
remember when your troubles
found refuge in my ears?
glued them shut.
and how we used to write
pathetic little notes
throwing them across class
having a food fight
with paper?
burned them up.
(yes, i’ve kept them)
now your luminance loses luster
now your warmth is afflicted with frost
but i am not bitten
all for you
who’d do that anyway
so what if minutes became eternities
when I was with you
if fire became inextinguishable
in our hearts
so what
