come, stay and let's talk. it's a good day to be alive
If you have tasted the pain in its entirety,
you’ll know the meaning of its word.
For those who have not drank from the cup,
only emptiness will ring the air.
Let us offer kindness if we know its meaning.
Let us strive to share the burden.
Let us strive for the togetherness.

I’ve found you.
It’s okay. It’s all going to be alright.
Don’t worry about the noise.
What matters is that we are here.
We will find a way.
In spite of all that has happened,
our journey continues.
Keep honesty close to yourself.

in my darkest hours,
I subtly noticed that I was alone.
only the silence and darkness
that felt like eternity remained.
thankfully, it is now pocketed
in the corner of my memory
and in the thickening of my skin
to withstand another tsunami
if you are in your darkest moment,
let me offer you my silent presence.
I will remind you that you’re not alone
and that I believe in your growth.

did you realize silence is a luxury?
clouded by loneliness, it might be hard to see
but, ah well, just experience it. You’ll see.
you’ll see the beauty in serene atmosphere
you’ll find peace of mind
uninterrupted by intruders
for who are to stop the intruders from making noise?
what and how would you stop those from making noise?
once you’ve realized the cost
you come to appreciate the prize
but one must wonder:
what was the true cost here?
we must live together as human beings
but we also crave to have our own haven.

if I could stop the time I would’ve.
but my heart would still beat forward
enveloping the moment ever so reverberating
cherishing every grain of seconds this allows
for me to be present next to you.
the sun seems brighter than usual
perhaps those eyes that embodies the world
make this one a bit more brighter.
