FLIGHT OF THE STARS

Ma Fleur,

I think I am in love.

I’ve found myself missing you lately. I yearn for the next moment I’ll get to hold your hand and maybe listen to your heartbeat. I find myself smiling and giggling at the thought of you. You have me believing in this fairy tale bs. I’ve been singing Frank Sinatra’s ‘I’ve got you under my skin’ then I get engulfed in a state of euphoria as I relive our moments in my head.

‘I've got you under my skin

I've got you deep in the heart of me

So deep in my heart

That you're really a part of me

Yes, I've got you under my skin

Under my skin’

I have a lot I want to do and say but our time together always seems limited. I want to hug you tightly until we are warped into one. I always seem not to be getting enough of you. I want to hold hands more, talk a little bit more, dance, and go crazy a tiny bit more. I want to cook more with you and get to complain about salt.

I want to listen as you talk about that random show you watched. I want to hear you laugh and watch you cover your mouth since your ‘ugly’ laughter has come out and you fear someone else might have heard it. I want… I want… I want more of those eyes, your eyes my vespers twilight, I want to see myself in those eyes.

I want to shout “I Love You” and hear you say it back. I want to walk more and complain about how slow you walk. Everything about you is graceful and I love how everything seems simple when you do it. I enjoy every moment I get to spend with you. I want some time skips so that I can finally bend my knee and ask for your hand.

I want to celebrate all your wins. I want to be there at your most vulnerable but;

I also don't want to forget the present, it's a gift

I don't wanna take for granted the time you may have here with me

Lord only knows, another day is not really guaranteed

So, every time you hold me

Hold me like this is the last time

Every time you touch me

Touch me like this is the last time

Promise that you'll love me

Love me like you'll never see me again,

I want a whole lot more but forever seems like enough time.

SEB'S

Dearly Beloved, It's been six years since I said I'd watch this piece, La La Land. I've been afraid, though, afraid that it might become my life. A line reads that whoever is afraid of suffering is already suffering from what they fear, and clearly, I have become it. Seb says that he is letting life hit him till it gets tired then he will hit back and that line made me laugh as life has been hitting me lately. A line reads that don't kick a man whose on the ground but life didn't get the memo since I've been receiving my daily share of kicks everyday. You know, life not being as I had envisioned it as a child. Be married at 25 and have cars and houses and horses and kids... and now I can barely follow through a movie as I need rest. Mia and Seb are what I had and what I craved for so I understood their story. How both of them sought after their dreams and worked towards them but then life chose different trajectories for them and life seemed good but they were...

Mon Ami My beautiful morning dew, I have been dreaming about you lately. You know those dreams where I never quite get to see your face, yet your braids dance against the wind, your laughter fills my ears, my hand rests on your waist, and my lips find yours… only for reality to wake me to a life without you. It’s hard. Some days, I wish your nights felt as empty as mine without me by your side. Do you yearn for me as I do you? Or has life’s turmoil swallowed you whole, leaving no space to think of me, of us, of what we could become? I, for one, dream. I wish. I manifest. I imagine our time together will be heavenly, that you’ll: Hold me until we die Weather together the storms of life Won't always be sunshine Baby, we're blends of imperfection Give me your heart and soul Love me like you've never loved before Beautiful morning dew I'll be your shoulder to cry on to I have been growing, emotionally, mostly. I am learning to blend childishness with...

LOVERS DON'T LET GO!

My Darling, There’s something peculiar about her, how I placed her on a pedestal she never asked for. She didn’t think she was all that, but I saw her as everything. She left, but somehow, she still lingers. A voice in the quiet. A memory that won't be quiet. Don’t you even think of giving up. Don’t you even. Don’t you even say you’ve had enough. You’re not leaving. The thing about breakups is that they never announce themselves. You wake up on what feels like a beautiful day, and then bam! your world flips. Suddenly, the one you love doesn’t love you anymore. Just like that. I still don’t understand it. How do you stop loving someone? Can you even stop? Or did you never really love them at all? Most of us never get closure. We just learn to carry the silence like it’s part of us. Don’t you know that lovers don’t let go? No, no, not like that. Take your time, but come back. To me, love has always been something that loops. It returns, even if it slows do...
