HOSTAGE


My Love,

I wanna be alone

Alone with you, does that make sense?

I wanna steal your soul

And hide you in my treasure chest

I promised myself that I would achieve a series of things before I gave love another chance and things worked perfectly till I saw her and we looked into each other’s eyes and she lit my gloomy world with her smile. She drew me in, and like a moth to a flame, I broke my walls to let her in. She felt… feels worth it.

I don't know what to do

To do with your kiss on my neck

I don't know what feels true

But this feels right so stay a sec

Yeah, you feel right so stay a sec

She has me building castles of how life will be with her by my side and I genuinely cannot wait to see if I was right about it all. She fits into my world and I am comfortable sharing my bubble with her. All this is somewhat scary since it has been a while since I felt this way and I am afraid of opening doors and maybe just maybe she might not like what she sees inside and decides to leave, but I still want to risk it. Maybe, she will stay… I hope she stays.

And let me crawl inside your veins

I'll build a wall, give you a ball and chain

It's not like me to be so mean

You're all I wanted

Just let me hold you like a hostage

I don’t know how you lot love but I seem to enjoy my partner’s company. I have sat with people before and they said that they cannot stay with their partners for long periods since they would get bored and I wondered, How would you staying with your partner be boring? I mean, she walks into a room and I feel like a kid again. I crave her touch and voice, I earnestly listen to her talk and giggle about things I cannot understand but seem important to her. Her mere existence is a mystery to me as it brings me so much peace and looking into her calm eyes has me yearning to clothe myself in her presence so that I can feel that way always… but you will get bored staying with your partners? Ah ah ah ah ah I wonder!!!!

My two cents are that most people got manipulated by their toxic partners that spending time together for a long period of time will make them get bored of you and they believed it which led to them not experiencing the bliss of having their partner by their side all the time. The joy and chaos you are missing out on is a lot and yet you wonder how you never really knew someone and yet you claimed to be in love with them.

And nothing hurts when I'm alone

When you're with me and we're alone

I have this theory that when we risk love we show our best self and are often afraid of our flaws and insecurities being revealed but they also want to be seen and many a time these ‘partners’ leave when they see them which results in us fortifying our walls to hide our flaws better. But with her, I am not afraid of being seen. I have this gut feeling that she will love me more when she sees my weakness and I too will do the same. Maybe I am biting more than I can chew but I am convinced this is a risk I should take.

And let me crawl inside your veins

I'll build a wall, give you a ball and chain

It's not like me to be so mean

You're all I wanted

Just let me hold you

Hold you like a hostage

Like a hostage

I am happily going through these doors and hoping this love stays. It has been a while since I experienced life from the other side and I want to remember how that felt like. I think I am prepared for the arguments, the meaningless yet meaningful fights, the pettiness, the jealousy, the awkward moments, the silence, and above all the love I am about to be given and also give. May this be a beautiful journey.

You are exactly and perfectly what I’ve waited for.

Love,

 

Thairu.

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...

LIGHTNING

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...

L'amour De Ma Vie!

Dearest Reader, Yesternight I lay beside a woman I desired. She was the embodiment of all I wanted but wasn't what I needed. It took me too long to realize that, though. I may have been so fixated on the idea of being with her that I lost myself in my own whims of what I thought I wanted.  Want and need always seem blurry to me. I always want things that make my heart race, and I chase after them, then realize that I just needed some peace of mind and slow music. But does that mean that I shouldn't chase after what I want? What if that want causes me more damage than I can handle and I finally break? Break because I have spent my years holding on to the hope that I will always be okay, as I walked on a tight leash and a single misstep would cause my death. I have all these fears of finding a good woman. Fears that have no basis since I do not know what a good woman is. Is a good woman someone who resembles my mother? Is a good woman someone whom I love that she loves me? Nah, I...
