Everything about her, when I travel



Since last Saturday I’ve been travelling,
Resting under the night’s hours of the dark sky darker than tar.
Counting, struggling and healing my carved scars.
But then I did realize my purpose for living.
So I penned this down and sketched the lyric on my rusted guitar.
I wrote about the moments, some about her, some ours.
I felt her being there.
The bed didn’t hurt anymore even if it were made out of used chairs.
The fire were no more fire but flames.
And it’s when on my skin I felt the blanket of a million stars.
Or was it her.
If not I’d like to believe it that way rather.

Last Thursday I met her.
I’ve been wanting to see her for a while.
I’ve been wanting to see her gorgeous smile.
I do wish to apologize to her.
For the mildly vicious lines I drew.
And finally realized she deserves a meet rather.
It’s just,
I’m glad last Thursday I met her.


Last Friday I dreamt of her.
Some of the dreams, I was fortunate enough I could see.
Some of the dreams made me blush and some made me breathe in glee.
Some of the dreams, I’ve missed.
And those were the times when she saw them for me.
So last Friday I dreamt of her.
I thank her strongly,
For letting me.

She knows how I am, shy and naïve.
Of course, certainly not that shy that I won’t confront her.
They say, shy is being brave.
So last Sunday, I walked up to her.
Like always, snow and rain all over trapped me.
It being the month of June.
I walked all by myself in front of her home,
Whistling and humming our tune.

And then I saw her.
I sat beside her grave.
Suddenly, I didn’t feel anymore a bit alone.
I felt her arms, her touch, her skin.
But then I realized you know, it’s just the stone.
I brushed my palms over the stone once and cleaned the snow.
And it read, “You’re never on your own.”
This was all that was engraved by her for me.
She’s been sleeping for a while, indeed a great sleeper.

I’m just glad last Sunday I walked up to her.
