Tulips

I offer you my love in the form of a flowering plant in a pot. Roses, dandelions, or tulips perhaps - the plant is healthy, vivid and beautiful, in full bloom. You enjoy looking at it, the utter joy that its colours and fragrance bring! But you can't just simply stare at it. You must tend to it, water it everyday, put it out in the sun, remove the weeds that might grow in the soil. In short, you must take care of it. Otherwise, its leaves will wilt, the flowers will dry out, the whole plant will wither and eventually die.

My love is like that, it needs to be nurtured and nourished. Or else, my heart will just stop beating for you. I would never ever want that to happen, but we both know that it could. My love for you, on its own - and despite how poignant and powerful it is now - is not enough. A heart still needs another one to survive.

Sol y Luna

From E to P

You are the sun, 
ever so bright and beautiful. 
And I am the moon, 
silent in the starry sky,
reflecting your brightness. 
We may be in different milieus, 
in different hours, 
but we share the same light 
in the same universe.

Someday soon, 
we'll share the same love.

Uncertainty

For Pau

There's a certain someone

whom I certainly miss

There's a certain mouth

that I'd love to kiss

There's a certain hand

that I want to hold

There's a certain embrace

that defeats the cold

But you're not here

You're no longer here

There's a certain time

I didn't want to end

There's a certain message

of love I couldn't send

There's a certain void

no one else could fill

But you just disappeared

And you're not here still

There's a certain longing

a certain pain

a melancholy

And there's a certain silence 

this heart hears

ever so loudly.
