'Get the fuck out of my house!' . 'Get out now!' . And the door slammed hard, shattering the photo frames as it fell from the wall. House, empty now, quiet except the sound of my breathing. . It all happens too fast. The messages, the pictures and the private lunches. How is it i had unable to noticed this before? Was it not so obvious? . 'What have i done?' .
The house is too empty. Too quiet. .
Was it too late? Fuck fuck. Im sorry baby. I ran out of the apartment. Hoping to catch up. .
But then at the lobby. . 'Why are you still here?' . 'I knew you would come after. You want to know who i was meeting with? Its my brother you fool' . 'What? You never told me you had a brother' . 'Now you do and he is coming today for dinner, and i want him to meet the man i love' . 'Baby, im sorry!' . 'Its ok, fuck you back though.' . 'Yeah yeah. I deserved that.'
Shit. . Both of us stood in the middle of the road. Surprised at each other. .
'How...' we both said at once. .
'You first' .
'How are you?' . 'Im good, as always' i was lying terribly. 'How about you?' . 'Not too bad. Comme ci comme ca so the french says' . 'Cool, well.. i'm sorry i better get going. Im late for an interview' lying again. . 'Oh? You're getting a new job?' . 'Yeah. Its something new i wanted to try' . 'Right, good. So see you around then.' .
'Yeah sure.' . We walked away. I was relieved from the awkwardness of it. And that exact me we both turned around and caught each others eye. We smiled. .
Even in this big ass city of #kualalumpur we bumped into each other.
What are the odds of that. Is the universe trying to tell me something? .
Fuck it.
(originally song is supposed to be Ending by Isak Danielson but Youtube doesn't have that)
Being with you has been the hardest and yet sweetest part of my life.
.
"Coffee?"
.
"Yes please"
.
"The world is fucked up today"
.
"Yeah? Whats up?"
.
"Did you know they have discovered a big ass black hole behind some cosmic clouds just outside our galaxy?"
.
"No shit?"
.
"Yes shit"
.
"But its a wonder ain't it? In spite of that we are still here. Not being sucked into that super massive behemoth. What do you think is keeping us alive?"
.
"I know whats keeping us alive"
.
"What?"
.
"Its called love baby. Love"
.
"You're corny as shit"
.
"I know baby, that's why we are still together."
.
"Really?" Rolling my eyes with it.
.
"Love conquers all baby"
"So you are going back to him?"
.
"Yes"
.
"If that makes you happy"
.
"I think so"
.
"Ok"
.
"I think so, I’m giving this another shot. We’ve been together too long to let this go without a fight"
.
"Well im happy if you are happy"
.
"I think i will be"
.
I knew those words sounded desperate and scared but for the sake of their relationship probably those were the best options left. A final push, make or break it. .
"You'll be around?"
.
"Baby, i aint going no where"
.
"Pinky promise?"
.
"Ill spit on it if you want"
.
We just sat there holding hands and looking over the city. Sky high above on the ledge of my rooftop condo.
.
"I love you"
.
"I know baby, i know."
.
Here we are again. Just me and you, in arms entwine. Together again.
For we are lovers and as lovers should be.
I missed touching you, my fingers following the contours of your body. The smooth skin, the subtle smell of you. Your skin.
I love the way we kiss. The way our lips touch with ecstasy. The passion.
I can only give you what i have. I have me. I have my heart to give. My soul to love you. I have only me to offer. Us.
Take me and bring me to life.
I love you. As much as any man can.
Love.
Love me.
And i shall be happy. ....
(Music: i can only give what i have by 1st vows)
Hello
From the other side.
I think i know you, even though for just a brief period of time.
I think i know you, and yet the things i do not know excites me.
I think i know you, though its too short to say i love you.
I think i want to see you again.
i was not. My insides a bouquet of sweet smelling roses.
I kid you not. if the cow could jump over the fucking moon. so could i now.
I felt so light that i thought i could actually fly. icarus would burn near the sun. i am the fucking sun.
shit. i shouldn’t be feeling this. not now. not when the date is so near. not when I’ll be making life altering choices.
shit shit shit.
this point of event is not what i wanted to be in my gunn chart of life. i did made plans. i charted my whole year. from point A to point B. this isn’t in the equation.
Ting tong “We will be arriving at Salak Selatan. Please disembark for ……. next station would be Putrajaya Central”
Beep “ETA?” “Soon”
Beep “How soon?”
“Very soon, sooner than you can think. Sooner than you can blink your eyes”
Beep “I blinked already still your not here yet. Twice even”
i think airports are emotional roller coasters. You leave and you leave behind the people that you love or un loved. And When You arrived you will be with the people you love or maybe none at all.
Texting.. “I’m here, where are you?”
“Outside in the car, black by the road side”
“Ok, coming”
Walking to the car i swear i could hear my heart beating crazily. I don’t want to say it when i get here but i felt i had no choice. I felt i needed this progress to our friendship. i felt i needed to express because i felt suffocated and constrictive of me being. This feeling really does fucks people up.
I think i am fine if the answer is ‘no’, i think so. i know I’ll be crushed but i don’t fucking know.
I don’t know why i am doing this in the first place. probably its better off that not saying anything. Probably.
But then again you know, how shitty the heart can be. as much as i can give out loves, it want in return love as well.
It feels forever walking towards the car albeit its a small airport. waiting for me across the arrival gate.
Its feels forever knowing the person that sits in that car. It feels like a lifetime but a matter of fact it has only been a few months. Its just that every time i come here, there’s no one else i want to be with. A temporary happiness.
Temporary but each time i love more. a little more.
The smile, the smell, the smirk.
Small things that without fail engulf me in a myriad of mix emotions.
I opened the boot chuck my bags in, open the front passenger door and sat myself in.
I knew our last goodbye was the last goodbye. ‘Bye’
I think i sense a change in us, a bridge was burnt. A fork in the road you are taking the left and im taking the right. You wanted to make your own way without me.
I didn’t want to see the car leave. Though at the corner my eyes i saw for the last time. I sighed and i just walked on. Past the automatic doors, past the counters and sat at the gate. Heart, what is there left but a piece was torn and left to bury here.
I already miss the curly hair, that cheeky smile and that precocious confidence.
I would just love you from afar but always here when you need me back.
Typing 'Id wish that day time would stop. I cant stop remembering your eyes, your cheeky lips and that gaze you gave me when we were together....' Delete
That sunday was magical. There were only you and me. And the world seemed to stop. Everything was a blur when you laughed. Why now, did i have to meet you? This point in time when i cant have you for myself.
'Can i kiss you?' ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
'Maybe.' ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
'On what?' ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
'Depends on what you ate and what i ate' ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
'Ill listerine' ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
'Is that suppose to be funny?' ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
'Yes'⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
'A little'
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I grabbed the collar of the jacket and up against the wall in a corridor leading to a ghostly toilet we kissed.
And time seemed to stop. Just for a moment.
Can we just move away together?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Just you and me?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We live a simple life.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And get married!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We could get a little apartment.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One with a small balcony.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That you can have your plants.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It would be a walking distance from my GP.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And you nearby bakery, a baker.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And we could have lunches together. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And we would walk to work.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Or maybe a small house with a backyard.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I could have my apple tree.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Your kitchen with french windows. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And you could cook.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And we have dinner together.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And then as the night draws near⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We could just snuggle in front of the telly.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Cos its cold and winter is coming.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I am home.
Chapter 2 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
'Oh. Yeah sure.'
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
'Thanks'
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I was still no where. In my head i wanted to go as far away as possible. Some place where no one knows me. Secluded on some dead island with beaches. Yes sandy white beaches and clear blue water. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
'You alright?' He said.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Snapped out of my little world, 'yeah. I guess'
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
'Where are you heading?'
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
'Anywhere but here'
