You matter.
You mean so much to me,
I want you alive
No, I NEED you alive
We can get through this together
Just hold my hand
Step down from that ledge
Don't worry, I got you.
I'm right here to hold you tight
Right here, whenever you want me
Whenever you need me
I will always be here,
Today, tomorrow and thereafter.
You bring me joy like no other
I know it's hard, but this isn't the way
We can get through this together
Just you and me.
I promise to be with you now and forever
For you,
Whenever you need me.
You are my best friend.
You matter to me
More than anyone else in this world
So please, please, please
Don't leave me
Because I am nothing without you.
“Nobody said it was easy
It’s such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard
Oh, take me back to the start”
Being a diehard Coldplay fan I’ve played this song a million times, quite literally!
Today was different though,
It felt like a first time,
You know how you experience all these “firsts” in life... First day of school, first love, first kiss, first time having sex and any other memorable firsts
I was procrastinating since its Friday and casually playing some music and pretending to be busy at work, when it hit me…
Emotionally, mentally, and physically!
It felt like I was listening to this song for the very first time
I kept replying it and watching the video over and over again.. It was like The Scientist and Coldplay took over my heart and soul
I know that the video portrays death and in some way that’s how I felt
Not being able to be with you killed me; I say this because it did more than just break my heart. I lost faith in love and hope and happiness
So to me listening to this song now,
Reminded me of my own version of death…
The slow and painful kind
“No one ever said it would be this hard”,
Honestly this makes me want to ask the world why?! Why no one warned me before? Why no one spoke about all these barriers? Why no one ever said only love wasn’t enough?
I don’t fully understand why we can’t be together yet.
If two people truly love each other, shouldn’t that be enough?
My only hope is that someday, people who love each other could find a way to be together despite gender, race, culture and whatever other barriers they come across in life, because LOVE should be a good enough reason.
For what’s life without love?
How I wish things were much simpler
Like back when we were friends, how easy it was to tease each other and how uncomplicated things were. I don’t know when or how we will get there, or if we ever will.
But I sincerely hope that maybe someday we will, so until then I’ll keep on singing
“Oh take me back to the start”.
Immigration Ban
A 23 hour flight and almost 9000 miles later
When I first set foot on foreign soil
“Welcome to the United States of America” you said. “We hope you enjoy your stay!”
I was a foreigner in unknown territory,
Thinking to call this place my “home, away from home”
With hopes of turning my dreams into reality
I don’t belong here you say.
My friends are stealing your jobs, killing your people, destroying your economy, populating “your” land
You’re afraid I will bring you harm
So you want to send me back to where I belong,
Or stop my family from visiting, because they miss their daughter
America wasn’t always like this
It’s a place of acceptance
A place where dreams come true
A place anyone was welcome to call home
Or that’s what it used to be
According to old text books, that were taught to me
You think I’m a threat to you
But did you ever think,
That maybe I was just like you?
Before you claimed this nation to be your own,
When you were an immigrant quite like me
When you came to the States
With hopes and dreams
Maybe for a better life or even a better wife
So before you decide that I don’t belong here
Think a minute of what your life would be
If I invited you to my home and told you never return
Years later,
I still feel like a stranger,
Now more than ever - most certainly like I don’t belong
Which makes me wonder,
Is this what I left home for?
Illusion
Home is where the heart is, and truth be told my heart is still with you. Does that make you home? I don’t know. I certainly hope not.
What fascinates me the most is how my heart still wants you after everything you’ve put me through. By “me” I mean not only my heart but my body too. Every single scar on my body is a painful reminder of our past. Each day I’m reminded of how you made me feel. All your harsh words that made me claw out my skin.
They say love is blind. This statement never made much sense to me, but now I’m the living reminder of its accuracy. Even after all your cheating, beating and what not, I still feel the need to be in your arms.
You were once my safe place, my escape from reality. Little did I know then that the version of you I saw was an illusion. I’ve been living in your bubble for so long, that sometimes it feels like I can’t live without you. Some days I’m willing to go back to us; you beating me up or accusing me of things I’ve never dreamt of doing, even if it kills me inside and out, for I’d rather live with you someway than without.
In my head you were the nice guy. So I made up excuses for your behavior. I thought, ‘maybe he was having a bad day’, the first time you slapped me across my face.
I was broken beyond repair when I realized it wasn’t me it was you. I feel in love with an illusion, the real you, was nothing but a monster.
Boy meets girl
Boy meets girl.
They start talking.
Boy starts liking girl.
Boy confesses.
Girl rejects him.
They continue talking until one day the girl falls for the boy as well, and by fall I mean deeply, very very deeply.
Sparks fly!
Or at least it does in the girls head and soon enough boy gets bored and walks away.
Girl tries every morning to not think of him and undo all that happened!
