You and I

I get excited,

thinking that I'm becoming you

having a vision that had your touch

perhaps a power of clairvoyance 

putting all into places

traces I wish to leave

a dance, a moment - and what it takes to create

I did it

my courage reminded me of you

and perhaps, that's what I've always admired about you - you remind me of my desires 

part of what I've always wanted to achieve

if I wonder why I still think of you

it is because you left a deep imprint in me

it is not about fairness - but it all had enough to be churned

I wish I could talk to you, and tell you about the many things I can share you with

though many had warned me 

I now know, how dangerous you can be

I can still be you to remind myself of many matters

and I shall wait for the day when it all gets better

until we meet again

Relational

I once wrote to you about the relationship you have with happiness

where it seemed straight forward, linear and obtainable 

I registered this alternative, and admired your tenacity and clarity

you paved the road for many

as for me,

I'd rather sit with my unconventional angle of the pursue of happiness 

working through my desires

I have instinctively chosen to sit with depth, the other sets of experiences - perhaps overlapping the spectrum of happiness

for I understood happiness may seem simple to be reached

but it actually is complex

especially when my will of attainment is strong

we took our risks, within each drawn limitations

though I must say that I love it when you soar at your peak of intensity

one could tell that you are happy - a sun like ball of energy

you are indeed a person with a big source of warmth

unbashful

it is okay to be unhappy

for happiness is not an end goal 

the action of pursuing it openly, is

Scorching Sun

The sun was generous, as we tell from the emitted rays

I walked without looking too far, with my dirt covered hair

       freely, like I've owed nothing to anybody

until I see you from a distance

The sun was generous, cutting interactions short

I remembered turning back to watch you leave

I am out numbered, I noticed, I still am - after all this while

 

My vision blurred as I looked back

I don't remember your faded hair colour

but I realised I still long for your presence - even unobtainable 

I remember I feared

you have been always stronger, like masculinely strong

I don't want to be hurt again

you have every capacity of doing so

my guard was built sky high, extending in parallel, as I look back

will there be a time where I will completely forget everything?

why do I have to see you again? 

I don't know if you'd ever have good things to say about me 

I regret that it is all this fragile

I regret that my expectations were overflowing

I don't know if we'd ever stop acting that we're all fine

The sun was generous, as we tell from the emitted rays

parting

I would stay away so you can continue to build what's great that you deem

I wish I could be remembered the way I think I would, though again

this is out of my control

The warmth that you express is one that I remembered well,

I wish that you'll be protected that by that very magic itself, 

as you continue to soar

Most of the time, it is not about you

I see it, I truly do

which is why when I spoke of for myself, it seemed that we couldn't coexist anymore

for I see clearly, who you are(were)

it does break my heart, love

I could see from the way you look at me

I love you, but I got to go

for this space doesn't look like a place you'd stay

you three have a good thing going, 

take it, protect it, 

with my biggest heart, I'll take up all that's left

and walk my path

I'll see you again, someday

thank you for your innocence, 

and your kindness

your presence trampled my little garden - that is just who you are, to me

if you get to read my words one day

I wish these could land to you, soundly

委託人

滿滿 

為了妳而聚

然而我唯有遠方送上祝福

一個孩子在哭泣   另一個在微笑

雖不算分裂   他們共存在我體內

委託人 身邊觀察

似乎在問我好不好

我不好 被捨棄了有什麼好

一個孩子在哭泣   另一個在微笑

我的祝福 可真實

傷口一樣真實

委託人 一直也是媒介人

看著我對大家表達的思念

不懂是否被傳達

委託人給了小玉一顆愛

因為小玉是隻狗嗎？

即使小玉沒瞎 它也不懂

我也不懂 為何

委託人 被妳委託嗎？

這嘗試著的貼近 是她還是妳？

妳在關心嗎 像一年前一樣

說關心

妳卻只能見證我的心碎

同時在運輸著

               是我遠方送上祝福

freely

as I was waiting, 

I picked up flowers spotted at the courtyard, left it on the table

they fell from the sky, probably somewhere up there

things I do to remember moments 

you were late, you notified

the pet clinic was crowded because it was a holiday the next day

I waited, and then I saw you

with a new hair colour, I remembered

though it didn't strike as sharp as a topic starter

you were nervous, you looked at the floor

so was I, pretending that I didn't see you

you wore your cap

you had only let down your hair when you are comfortable

then you sat opposite me

you got food, we warmed up slowly - about an hour

before we talked about our purpose of meeting

you were operating in a highly anxious mode

constantly solving problems

before we went into it, you were comfortable enough to take a 5 second eyes off moment

it is true that I do not know you well - as I observe, I realised

when we talked about it, you were focused

there wasn't much room to commune and communicate

it didn't feel like it was mutual, the showing up for each other

perhaps at that point of time, boundaries were already set 

I was disappointed

you were prepared to be distant; or at least, not on my side

but my nature was still the same

I quickly took in all you expressed 

and I wasn't able to fend for myself

it was a messy talk, we both tried

even that, amongst it all

I was glad that you sat next to me while we did it

I think, that was part of what was real for the both of us

I should have known that it is out of your capacity 

everything that I imagined to be

yet, I'm thankful for our encounter

I've never met anyone like you before - just like how you once told me

I guess, I am naturally more liberal than you are

or more attuned to myself

it is fine that you couldn't meet me at where I am, I accept it

and I shall slowly step away, and let time tell

I thought to myself, you made time to dye your hair 

           (which you always do at that time of the year)

you made time to watch a friend perform

you posted them on your socials

            I simply wasn't prioritised

that is your choice

I hope those moments shared are those that you keep with you

it's okay if I am not aware 

I will keep my truths to myself

thank you for being my unacknowledged spectrum friend

thank you for sharing little moments with me

you're such a darn-ed person, that is why everyone loves you

no - I don't have to own you despite that

I thank you for allowing, albeit briefly 

you don't have to be too careful

if my absence can take away that

I would dim down to make it easier for you

I'm not being selfish

I guess that's how I love

freely

quiet mouse

    like a quiet mouse, I stood next to you

I know I am comfortable with you

I know I can be myself

    like a quiet mouse, my heart beats steadily

and I finally hear it

that little whisper that I might find myself denying

I wish to be with you

    and even if I couldn't have that fulfilled 

I will still accept it 

I will let it settle quietly 

while I set sail to see the world

I will let it settle quietly, like a mouse 

    deep in the bottom of my heart

I wish to be with you
