The Mask

          When we are hurt by things of life itself, or by other people, and we supposedly don't let those things get us down, we're called 'strong'. But is that really being strong? Putting up a happy face for others to feel better while you don't feel well yourself. While you just want to be left alone to feel what really you're supposed to feel... or not feel. To find who you're supposed to be. But instead you stay where you were before, wearing only a mask that alludes your true face. Your true feelings.

          As I see it, we have to take that mask off. See the world through your own eyes. Maybe then you will find who you need to be. Maybe you really are supposed to be happy. But that we need to figure out by ourselves. Wearing that stupid mask to society won't allow you to see beyond what they tell you you're supposed to see. But just speaking is too easy, isn't it? When we don't know how to take the mask off. When we're insecure what taking it off will mean. Where it will take us.

          So what will it be? Will we be true to ourselves and wrong to society, or right for others and live in a skin that is not your own?

Sometimes I want you to be perfect, and then I realize that you already are perfect for me.

It's OUR Day

          I once felt that there was no one for me. I couldn't connect to anyone. There were none to awake the long lost butterflies in my stomach. None that made me loose my feet. I kept looking everywhere for someone. I looked for that someone who had the other half of me. When I thought I had looked everywhere and that the darkness would consume me, you showed your face. It was then that I realized you had been there all along, by my side.

          As soon as I started to realize your true face, others started coming in between us. I couldn't see you anymore. I had lost myself again. Right then my heart awoke. I could feel once more! Anger and desperation no more controlled my eyes and heart. I found you again. I found myself again... and I will not let you go.

Happy Anniversary, my love.

You Left Me

I was so proud. So proud of being one of you. I never in my life expected you to turn your backs on me this way. Now I truly know that blood doesn't mean anything. Family? That's just a freaking word. You haven't just loosened the ties, you terminated it all. And to think that I dreaded the day that I would be able to see you again. Oh, how I missed all the holidays together. But now... Now I know that none of it will be back. All my fantasies of future moments are gone. Even if you turn around now. Even if you give me whatever real or not excuse you might think of, I assure all of you it will never be the same. People might forget things you have said or done, but never how you make them feel. Betrayal is what I feel. Disappointment. You have crushed me like no other. Everyone always says "family first" or "family always together." If this is true then you were never my real family. All of it was a simple illusion. "Family first"... Apparently you chose yours and left me out. I wish I could say "I don't blame you" or "It's understandable", but I would be lying. I loved you as being my flesh and blood; Where I grew up; Who I looked up to as a child; My foundation. You have managed to break it all to pieces, but no matter. I will gather every single one of them and rebuild my own foundation. This time relying in no one. You will one day look at me and think "I wish I hadn't turned my back on her".

Together but Alone

I feel like I walk among people, but my path is solitary. I look to my sides and I see your faces, but I look within and you're not there. There are only versions of myself, and I can't distinguish which one is real: which one am I. Is it the one that loves you? Or is it the one that doesn't care? I only wish it will end up being the right one, because I can't live this lonely life.

Love You More

Yeah, we can fight every now and then. But the important thing is that every single time we end up loving each other even more. I love you with all my heart. I have never loved anyone like this before. I didn't really know how it felt: to think of someone all the time. Well, if I knew, I had forgotten, but now I know. I just want to be with you.You were the one who forced us into this relationship. I hesitated. But now I have not been happier. Like you said, I have come to love you more.
