I've always been one to fight,
Never again underdog,
Never again crouched down,
Holed up in a corner,
Eyes scrunched tight,
Words lashing,
I made my way,
Slowly surely,
Scars hidden away,
Figured I'd make it,
At least blazing to the top,
Even if not,
I'd be that bright spark,
Before I go out,
Oh but these arms are weary now,
And this mind is so heavy,
My thoughts are rain clouds,
Grey, dreary,
I can't fight as I used to,
I can't swim against currents,
This heart has been abused too,
But I say your name,
And shadows turn despite,
Their cloaking darkness,
Was once suffocating night,
I say your name,
My prayer,
My charm,
I'd fight myself to keep you from harm,
My demons,
I'll slay,
This thunderstorm,
Caged,
The thoughts I keep,
I'll quell their rage,
I scream and I cry,
But they only echo in my mind,
Touch me,
Your warmth brings silence,
Divine.

Watch
The first time you mentioned it, I hesitated. I'd never heard of a couple showing that they were a couple by the watches they wear. And to be honest I thought to myself rather amused, well, there goes the practical side of him again. Then I realized that every time I looked for the time, there you were.
For every minute I was away from you, I was aware, more than ever. It felt more intimate than a pair of rings which although symbolic and pretty, was really not something I'd wear constantly (thank you, OCD =.=). It was a practical gift but it was also one of the most thoughtful ones I've received. You knew I'd always have trouble remembering the time and keeping track of it.
Next to you, my responsible side pales in comparison and my thoughts seem more flighty. You were always the dependable one. You still are. And how I love you for that.
That practical side of you, as much as it sometimes exasperates me is something I'd never want you to change. Yes, it makes you seem occasionally rather insensitive and even thoughtless, especially since your practicality extends to your words (shorter is not always better). But I realized, that's just you looking out for the both of us (sometimes more you than me though XD ) because my head isn't always all there. I'm glad you're the one who's more logical. Because I'd only get stressed trying to be the logical one when I'm the one that's insanely spontaneous and makes you want to go crazy with my sudden plans and moods. Let me be the one to teach you how to let go. You don't always have to be so perfect.
I want to be the one place you can come home to and relax. I want to be that button that makes all those tabs go away, even if just for a while. You don't always have to be the stronger one. That's what I was meant to be for you. Be strong everywhere else out there in that big world. But be you when you're with me. I just want you to know, no matter how pissy I am, you come first. And if you're hurt or sad or just plain frustrated, come back to me. I'll try to make everything better again to the best of my ability. I'm not much, but I'm here for you. I love you.

It's been a month...
To be honest, I haven't actually felt the need to write here in a very long time. It's been months since I have actually felt that need and although I do feel bad about not posting, I'm happy because I can finally be happy without having to rely on writing out my feelings night after night through prose I can never speak during the day.
It's been more than a month now that I am actually happy almost every day.
That in itself is a miracle to me.
Looking back on my life, it's been 21 short years but that's probably almost a quarter or more than the actual lifespan I will ever have.
I'm happy to have met the people I have in my life now.
In just a few days, my perception of people and experiences have changed so drastically.
Come to think of it, I've actually come to believe I can belong somewhere.
The irony of life, I travel more than a hundred miles to find my home among people who were once strangers.
Strangers have become friends.
Friends have become family.
Not to say I don't appreciate my real family, but I am so very happy here where I am now.
Despite the stress, the workload, the hormones and the occasional shitty person, life is beautiful.
I wake up with a purpose.
I wake up because I WANT TO.
I haven't felt that in a long long time.
My ex finally unfriended me on Facebook and to be honest, I don't quite give a damn. In fact, I'm actually pretty happy about it and wondering why it took so long. My baggage is gone.
Another ex and I have finally had the closure we needed so long ago. Thank you for trying to fix what was so broken before, but I have forgiven a long time ago. I don't hate anymore. It's ok. We're ok.
The one I love cares for me, and I feel the same. Silence is no longer the awkward thing it once was in previous relationships. I understand, you understand. No words needed. Just know I love you, no matter what I may be feeling at that moment. I love you. Remember that.
My friends have changed but not been replaced. I love them all the same. I just happen to have more love going around now than before. Thank you to all of you who have made me feel I have somewhere I belong. Thank you for your expressions, for your humour, for the acceptance. Thank you for being there. For all the late night talks, the crazy walks, the messages I didn't expect to receive when I wasn't feeling well, the secret giggles we share, the parcels packed with so much care. I needed you all and I found you guys there. For that, I will always be grateful and no matter how far we will be someday, I will look back on these days and smile. Even as I write this, I'm actually tearing up with how happy I am. When I remember, I hope you remember me too someday down the road. Thank you for not leaving my side when I was being ostracized by people who hate me. You made me believe that not everyone is as bad as I thought they would always be.
Just remember I'll be there for you guys too when you may need me one day.
Lord, I'm such a sentimental sop today. But I'm thankful I have something to be sentimental about.
To everyone, you guys make my life wonderful. Thank you thank you thank you.

Valentine's
The comfortable silence,
Comes creeping in,
Between tangled sheets,
And the slowing breathes,
Echoes of laughter,
And tickled humour,
We stare at the ceiling,
Together,
Watching the lights outside,
Of couples celebrating Valentine's.

A year already
That old flame,
Dying down a little,
Into an amber glow,
Still there,
Just not,
For show,
And the anticipation,
That used to accompany those days,
Became a familiar warmth,
Has it been a year already?
Time passes by fast,
It seemed like yesterday,
When we still blushed,
As we kissed goodnight.

Just you and me
Let's fly away,
Just you and me,
We'll forget them all,
These weights and rules,
We'll leave them behind,
We'll break them,
And prove we are more,
Than what we dreamed we could be,
We'll travel the world,
Tread the paths,
Where only the bravest trod,
Those who would leave behind,
The endless superstitions,
And laws made by man,
Not God,
We'll find eternity,
In the stars we fall asleep to,
And sing to the voices of people,
Who coo like doves in love,
We'll sing those songs out loud,
You know them,
The ones we used to sing in secret,
While in the loo,
We'll travel far,
And we'll travel wide,
We'll swim in the ocean,
Drift in the tide,
But most of all,
We'd be together,
Just you and me,
We'll make miracles,
Just wait and see.

The beauty of YOU
I lost myself,
In the simple beauty of you,
The way you made me laugh,
With your myriad ways,
And endless mischievous smiles,
Those brown eyes,
That glowed when you were happy,
I remember when we fought last,
And they were tearful,
I never wanted to see them like that again,
That vice-like grip,
It tightened more than a notch,
But we'll put that behind,
Leave those tumultuous days,
And tear-stained pillows in the nights,
Gone by,
We will live in the summer,
Of our dreams and the heat of love,
Mornings spent with you,
Cuddled,
Cozy warmth,
In the circle of your arms,
And your body grown heavier,
Than the last few months,
I learn to remember the curve of it,
And the heaviness,
Like a favourite blanket,
It wraps me in your love,
We've both grown so very much,
And I have learnt to trust,
And love so much more,
In your giving,
I began to live again.

Earth and Air
I happened to see this the other day and loved it. It's pretty funny though, since my boyfriend happens to be a Virgo (earth sign) and I'm an Aquarius (air sign, don't ask me why even though it's technically called the WATER-bearer) so this seemed to fit us very well. Sadly the boy is a very lazy person when it comes to reading, so the likelihood of him seeing this is probably nil? I suppose so. But it fits. And I love it. Therefore it shall go on my blog. OK, I'm crapping too much.
It's going to be our 1 year anniversary soon and I can't wait. :)

Happy New Year!!!!!
I know it's a little late to be starting New Year wishes but still, thought I'd give it a go too since it's the first time my little blog has had the experience of being around through a new year.
It's been an awesome 2013 and I'll admit, I'm actually kind of sad to see it end. 2013 was the year of so many new experiences and memories. I'll never forget times spent with the ones I loved, all the heartaches and laughter and the crazy shit we did or said. Who needs a diary when it's all in my head?
I'll miss 2013 and it's mad experiments and secret trips. I've met new friends and found out just how much I could really grow into me. I've met the someone I wished I knew existed long before to spare me the heartbreak of my previous exes. I started a new life for the first time away from home and loved the experience and the freedom it brought. And I'm so very very grateful for all the blessings I've received. Every little memory of all my friends and family and love, it's all a gift. And I can never thank you all enough.
In 2013 my little blog has grown so much as well, although viewers and readers are not that many, but I'm grateful to all of you who took the time to follow my postings. I love you guys! Thank you for supporting me! Also a million thanks to my guest blogger and dear friend, Selene who hasn't only been guest blogging but also taking over while I've been M.I.A due to exams or other whatnots that got in the way. Without her, I doubt posting would so regular.
So I say adieu to a beautiful 2013 full of memories and adventures, and welcome 2014. I pray it will be a year to top the wonderful memories made in 2013.
To my family who may never read this, thank you for giving me the chance to grow.
To my ever practical and caring boyfriend who tries so hard to make me happy, I love you very much and I hope that we'll be the ones to make it through together last year, this year and forever, mushy as it sounds.
To my best friends, you know who you are guys, thanks for making me laugh and complaining with me, crapping with me and putting up with my shit and laughing at my sarcasm.
To my readers, viewers and supporters, thank you for continuing to read my blog.
I love you all!!
Stay inspired and creative, don't be afraid to step forward and live your life to the fullest! May your lives be blessed with adventures and lotsa love!
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!!! WISHING YOU ALL A BLESSED 2014!!!!!

"I love you"s in the dark
Let's watch the stars tonight,
Even though it's raining outside,
We'll be here,
Gazing at them inside,
The memories we share,
I remember in the dark,
Even before your fingers touch my hair,
I remember when we said,
We'd never let go forever,
Oh we were so young then,
Stupid little lovers,
Wishing on the stars,
Light years away,
Hoping it'd come true,
All our dreams,
And the silent prayers,
We whispered in our hearts,
With our hands clasped in the dark,
Look at us now,
Back to where it started,
Back to us,
The two broken-hearted,
Sharing the scars,
That made us,
And of us become a part,
Still together in this weather,
Still whispering "I love you"s in the dark.

Bliss
In the echoes of your voice,
I still manage a smile,
To be reminded of my own worth,
Once in a while,
It is bliss.

Just had a Skype video call with someone I love :) I'm happy

Full circle
So it's come full circle,
The line is drawn back,
From beginning to end,
We meet,
We part,
Then meet again,
I would not give,
What you wanted to have,
This heart,
My own,
No man's land,
The past,
The future,
None represent,
What I have become,
And how much more of a person,
I now am,
I am not that child that clung to your hand,
I am not that girl who cried as you ran,
I am not the broken one,
I am not a piece of property,
I am appreciated, cherished and loved,
By someone better than him,
Who will never be a man.
~Rei Shiori
Well, happy birthday to my blog! It's now one year old and I am so proud of it even though it's not the prettiest or the best around or has millions of followers. I'm still happy I stuck with writing a bit each day and that this compilation has grown so much. Happy Halloween as well everyone!

Look how far I've made it :)
Aching feet,
Sleepy smiles,
It's been a good time,
Despite the trials,
It took,
To get to today,
I look to you,
And you smile back,
It took a while,
But now,
I doubt I lack,
What I failed to find,
In myself,
And the ones,
Who used to love me,
Hold my hand a little tighter,
And let your hands tell me,
You love me.
~Rei Shiori
P.S. I've been having a very productive time in terms of shopping today. 10 hours of non-stop shopping, which of course, resulted in my legs protesting like mad even as I tuck them under the blankets. Got myself a couple of bracelets, 2 pairs of earrings (Feathers! Peonies! squeeeeee!!!!!), 2 adorable fat maneki neko keychains, a coin pouch+key holder with a kawaii charm a really flowy tank top and a super chic black pleather mini backpack. And and and, a really funny message tee for my dad ^3^

600th post : Thank you!!
This is the 600th post since I first started this blog. I'm not sure if it's become more like a diary in prose form or the ranting space I originally intended it to be, but either way, I am happy. Here. Now. With all that I have. Thank you to everyone who has read and visited my blog even though there are no comments or anything. Thank you for taking the time to look through my amateur poetry. Also a huge thank you to the people who helped me to write, kept me going, and gave me the motivation to continue this blog. Thank you to my guest blogger, Selene-chan who constantly fills in for me when my internet connection rebels. Thank you everyone. THANK YOU!!!!!
I started out a long time ago,
In anger,
My first post I wrote,
Darkened by the tears,
My keyboard drenched,
I cried as I typed in,
Every tug on my heart,
Every pull,
Every wrench,
Grew little by little,
My blog and I,
Almost a year later,
I can finally write with a smile,
I'm in love,
And not just with words,
My life is not perfect,
But the scars,
No longer hurt,
Still I won't give up,
My diary of prose,
I'll write every day,
For maybe who knows,
Someone out there,
Will find my words,
In times,
When they need them most.

Thanks for being my readers :) I love you all. Minna, arigatou gozaimasu.

Kiss me, darling
Waking up in the morning,
To your skin next to mine,
Breathing in the scent of you,
A mix of strawberries and caramel,
The sunlight across your hair,
Your halo a darker gold,
The silk of your hair a little rougher,
But that's you and that's fine,
Kiss me when you wake, love,
I'll know you'll be there,
Across the bed,
No empty space here,
Hands on hands,
Skin against skin,
Kiss me, darling,
Wake me up within.

June and July from my little fishbowl view
June and July have been pretty good to me in almost every way. So here's a list of the wonderful things that have been going on in my hectic life for these 2 short months (July isn't really over yet, I know). Might be boring, but hey:
Unfortunately, June and July have had their fair share of sad events.
It's been good in June so here's to an even better July! Cheers!
Hope everyone is doing great. Feel free to drop a comment if anyone wants to share any good news (or bad, it's good to let it all out sometimes).
It's my blog and I can post if I want to,So let's start off with all the events and things I have to be thankful for. Drumroll please.....
Post if I want to, post if I want to,
You would post to if it happened to you.
~sung to the tune of Lesley Gore's "It's my party"
- I've met new friends and gotten to know new (Ok, maybe not so new) neighbours.
- Went out for many hang out sessions with old buddies.
- Shopped to my heart's content and gotten everything at a lower price than usual (Yay for sales and thrift shops!) and managed to get some of the things that have been on my wardrobe basics list for ages. (cat shirts, garnet cardigan, vintage long skirts in denim and some flowy material I have yet to figure out but love to bits, pale lemon yellow skorts, a midnight blue short skirt that reminds me of anime Japanese uniforms, Cotton On faux snakeskin belt and a neon orange belt, tie-front summer blouses in 4 colours, a new black and faux leather backpack, denim vest, birdie earrings in black and white, some other pieces of random jewellery, coloured faux hair clip on thingies in garnet and amethyst)
- Received a parcel from a dear friend (Still don't have the heart to use them, they're so pretty) who bonded over writing and this very blog I'm posting in. There was a bunch of goodies inside (awesome vintage notebook, bookmarks, bookworm loves) but the best part about the whole thing was actually the letter, which although short, is very very much appreciated.
- Finished all my midterm exams and managed to get a wee bit of rest.
- Also managed to spend some time with my love although that was really limited considering we have such a horribly heavy workload, but hey, I'm not complaining. Time together is time together, every second still counts.
Unfortunately, June and July have had their fair share of sad events.
- One of which being my dear, trusty old handphone being lost on the 24th of June.
- Secondly, a dear pair of (Yeah, it's dear because of who bought it for me *Hi, Mummy!* and the price) socks that went missing in the laundry and never resurfaced (so far, fingers crossed it will) yet.
- Third would probably be my fridge going MIA on me. Don't ask, I'm still pissed about the whole issue and the idiots who caused it.
It's been good in June so here's to an even better July! Cheers!
Hope everyone is doing great. Feel free to drop a comment if anyone wants to share any good news (or bad, it's good to let it all out sometimes).

Only us
I never cared,
About the size of the diamond,
You'd offer me,
Or the flowers that sit,
Wilting in the afternoon heat,
Only us,
The simplicity,
Of cuddling,
Tangled up in the sheets,
Your hands skimming,
Across the heated skin,
And me,
Breathing the scent of you in,
I cared more for the heart within,
Never mind,
If you crowned me with flowers,
And only daisies for a ring,
I would have loved you still,
For that strong, faithful heart,
That lovingly beats beneath,
The warmth of your chest,
And the darkness of your eyes,
That captured me,
And safe arms that hold me,
Away from the cold winds.
