I miss the three of us

When we stayed inside our house in the province

We were young and naïve

We were full of dreams and hopes

We thought we could make it all

When we hold hands and keep each other

I miss the three of us

When we were apart for the first time

We had to get away from our comfort

We had to strive hard for one another

We thought we could make it all

When we stand strong for one another

I miss the three of us

When we all got our separate lives

We were reaching our dreams

We were having the things we needed

We thought, no, I thought

Everything will stay the same with the three of us

What happened?

Twenty Third

It is believed that the flower that the butterfly loves once grew here. 

In the branch of a tree silently clings

The silent pupa meek and well-disposed

Waiting for the perfect time

To see the world and learn to fly

Then she turned to a lovely butterfly

She flew from flower to flower

Enjoying the bounty of nature

The happiness of life

Then the butterfly loved

She saw no other flower but the one

She loved the flower more than anything

And so she stayed close to the flower

But autumn came

The petals she loves now falls to the ground

And pieces of her sinks deep with the petals

But she still loves the flower

The butterfly has to flew away

Leaving the flower she loves

Keeping the scar in her heart

Yet she still loves the flower

Even if it has been gone. 

More Than Words

You told me you are not good with words

That you could not tell me how much you love me

That you could not frame the right words for me

In the absence of words, your heart speaks

In those few words you utter

In those little acts you show me

Your love cannot be contained with anything

And baby, I love you for that

I love you when you smile at me

You glow like a sunshine

That promises hope and happiness.

I love you when you stare at me

Your stares penetrate to the deepest of my heart

It tells me things only my heart could fathom.

I love you when you hold my hand

The strength of your grip

Tells me not to let you go.

I love you when you hug me close

The gentle touch caresses my soul

And gives me the assurance

Of not being left behind and alone.

I love you when you sing songs to me

It is as if you sing the words

That your mouth cannot directly tell me

Above all these things,

There is one thing that makes my heart melt

I love you when you say those words

I could feel your heart

In that stare

In that smile

As you say, “I love you.”

I love you, baby

More than these words can let you know

And I will never get tired of loving you
