LIVE AND LOVE

If I died right now I don't think I'd be too happy with myself. I mean I've not loved and lived, or rather I've not lived and loved. I haven't seen how she ends up, whom she ends up with? Does she get her happy ending? Does she smile and laugh as she did when I was or is she happier? 

If I died right now I'd never know. I'd hate myself for leaving too early. Maybe things would have worked out or maybe I would have found love with her. Fallen for how she laughs, how she smiles, how she puffs up her cheeks when she is mad, how her smile seems to brighten up my day.

If I died right now I wouldn't know how that show ended. When they fell in love, when they fought and worked out their issues, when they got pregnant, when he proposed, when he did all he had sworn to do for her. I'd never know how she loved him, how she took care of him when he broke down, how she held his hand and reassured him all was well.

If I died right now I would never know all the new music that gets released tomorrow. I would not not know tomorrow. I wouldn't know if the sun shone brighter, if the moon was more beautiful, if the stars brightened up her night and she found purpose again. If she forgave herself for all her shortcomings. If she let go of all her pain and let God. 

If I died right now I wouldn't see God. I wouldn't experience Him in other people. I wouldn't look at his work and wonder why He created the menace called mosquitos cause for some unknown reason they keep on coming for my arms. 

If I died right now I'd hate myself. I don't want to hate myself, so I'll try living. Pain still exists but so does joy and happiness and peace. She is happy and content and she is full so I am glad. She is warm so I am glad. She is healthy so I am glad. She is loved so I am glad. 

If I choose life then I'll continue to experience all this. I'll get to know how she is and I'll be content. I'll watch at a distance as she gets all the good things that she deserves. I'll cry when her heart is broken because life knows just when to serve us bitter lemons and celebrate when she adds sugar and now she has lemonade... (I hope that's how lemonade is made).

Thus, I breathe and pray for more life. Pray for more grace to walk in love. Maybe also find love and live or live and love... 

Peace.

Thairu.

LOVE ME WRONG!

  A quote read, “It’s hard to wait for something you know might not happen but it’s even harder to give up when you know it’s everything you want.” The quote felt timely. I read it at a time when I struggled with letting go. I don’t want to, though. She was mine, but she wasn’t. She might never be, but I want her to be. Why? Umm... because she is everything! What does that mean? I also can’t tell but I know that she is everything I currently think life is. It’s happiness, sadness, peace, anger, a thin line between crazy and tranquility and I crave to have that forever. You make me want to make mistakes You turn temptation into my best friend You make me just give up and cave Will I ever fall in love like this again? She gaslights me into thinking that crazy is normal. She pushes my boundaries, and I want to try everything at least once. The whole time, I am certain that the ideas are extreme, but I am exhilarated, and I love the thrill it brings. I have tried fallin...

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...

CRAWLING!

My Beloved, Falling in love with you wasn’t a choice, it was an instinct!   I have tried loving others but it isn’t the same. I have tried to not love you anymore but it comes so naturally, not forced just easy. I mean there are reasons why I shouldn’t love you, you not loving me being the most important one, but it doesn’t matter, well to me it doesn’t. We could live with mine since I have a lot of it… I dreamt about you nearly every night this week How many secrets can you keep? 'Cause there's this tune I found That makes me think of you somehow And I play it on repeat Until I fall asleep The oddest thing about all this is I would do it all over again if I had a chance. You know, loving you. Loving you made me funnier since I loved how you laughed, how small your eyes got, and how your nose scrunched when smiling at my cringe lines. How holding you felt, how holding your hand never got too hot to make it uncomfortable and how sleeping while holding hands never felt weird. So ...
