It’s strange how you think you can capture your feelings for someone in a few words and when you go do just that, you discover that the said feeling is ever expanding, beyond your reach, like a galaxy. And every attempt at expressing it is powerless.
Reflections
Puzzle pieces
More often than not, people fall for the person who they say “fixed” them or the person who “put the pieces back together”. The first person who showed up to their doorstep when they were wallowing in heartache. Like all they want is to be saved. Like all they need is to be saved. I…
Today
Yesterday, I was inspired to write this. Yesterday, I had something beautiful to say. Yesterday, I waxed poetic. I was a prophetic genius. Today, I am trying to be who I was yesterday. I am holding on to some vague idea that I had for a minute or two, and I am trying to express…

I Love You:
You don’t know how deep those words are for me. I rarely say that phrase, but for you I’m making an exception. I love you and I’m striving to be perfect for you. I love you and I want you to trust me when I tell you I do. I love you and I will…
Sometimes…
I feel down and sad. Doubt creeps in. I feel scared and panicked and terrified and suffocated. Upset and unsure. Nonchalant and bored. Restless and weary. Powerless and vulnerable.
