Writing love poems without being loved is perhaps one of the toughest things I do as a poet.

Sometimes even healing can go through breaking—as when the seamster stitches a tattered garment and end up making several smaller holes to repair a bigger one. Nonetheless, I've admired that breaking and oftentimes more than the healing expecting it to conceal my scars.

Maybe sometimes we love people vehemently not because we expect that only they out of the 8 billion flesh and bloods can cleanse the bruises of our own flesh, fly us to the greatest height, or bring with them the most benign of days, but because we fear that only they amidst the herd of strangers can rip apart the same flesh, push us down from the same height, and bring the selfsame hours to an end. Perhaps we love not because we dream enough of having but because we're too scared of losing.

I know she's my type of girl every time she tells me, "Don't love me for the beauty I have but for the beauty I create".

“What makes a poet different?” the girl enquired, and the boy smiled. “You can spend an eternity staring at the ceiling, doing nothing, and still call it living.”

Don't fall for someone who won't pull you up.
