you turned me into a poet so I made you my muse.

if only there’s an accurate measurement level to count how much love I’ve got for you. because to be honest it will never be enough. my love is deeper than the ocean, taller than the sky, heavier than the universe, and more than every sand in the dessert.

something about you that felt so melancholy every time I saw you, something so blue and sad, yet ironically so beautiful. and maybe that’s why I resonate with you, because we’re both aren’t black or white, we’re grey human beings that embrace their emotions, bad or good.

I do feel sometimes you’re so faraway, unreachable and untouchable, but I always find my way back to you. whether it’s because your favorite songs are playing on the street, or the blue sky color that looked good on you. either way you’re like a compass that will always guide me back home.

I was never a sweet talker, but I became one because of you. you and your enchanting words, has turned me into a poet. because then, I was afraid of my own feelings. it’s not always flower field here inside, it can be ugly and cruel. but you always welcomed me with open arms, embracing my whole with kindness.

but again I hope you remember, those ugly feelings made us beautiful. those hideous creature inside us brought light into our heart. and I hope, both of us could live side by side with them. I wish you will never forget those things you taught me.

oh look, you did it again. you made me use fancy metaphor again when I think of you. but that’s okay, I will used every word there is in the dictionary for you. until one day I ran out of words to say. but hey, you turned me into a poet, so I turned you into my muse.

I love you yesterday, today, and hopefully tomorrow and the next day.
