The Smell of Sunshine

Let me forgive myself and learn from it

Sadness filled every crevice of your body
But yet you still smiled
And it wasn't until then.. that I realized
just how heartbreaking your smiles were


To live a meaningful life..

You wanted proof of your existence.
Something beyond the documents of your birth
The dishes you left behind in the sink
And the people who slowly file away their memory of you in the back of their minds as they move on with their lives

You wanted something beautiful...


Before the emptiness could swallow you whole
I pulled you closer to me
Before the past could pull you back into its dark cold spiraling depths of yesterday and the day before
I held you close... clinging desperately
Perhaps I was afraid of falling back into my own past
The warmth of your body against mine
You are all that I know

All I know is that I love you
And that is enough reason to hold onto you forever


When love becomes your reasoning for everything
I hold you because I love you
I kiss your lips because I love you
I hold your hand because I love you
I protect you because I love you
I give my life because I love you

  1. Kyaaa. <3 I love it when you post these~ You're so poetic.

  2. hehe. You are my number one fan! And I am your number one fan too! :D

    Yeah I like that one the most too. When I was writing it, I started with the thoughts of:
    -How do I know that I truly exist?
    -What proves it?
    -Is it this? Is it that?
    -It is something great...but it is still vague to me..I'm not sure yet, I only have the feeling of wanting something more meaningful and greater..don't don't the specifics yet

  3. I am your fan~! :D

    Man.. the things you think about are extraordinary~ Does taking TOK help haha, or are you just naturally thinking about such complex stuff?

    You know that reminds me of when I just think about stuff kind of like this.. I tried explaining it once.. and never again LOL. It went a little something like this:

    "Do you get what I mean?"
    "No."
    "Okay."

    FOREVER END OF DISCUSSION.

  4. *plays Epik High's song that has the lyrics, "#1 fan"- (forget what song it was, man I haven't listened to them forever)

    TOK probably helped me understand and broaden my thoughts, but I always thought about random crap like that.
    I usually think deeply about things after watching/reading/listening/seeing something that really grabbed onto my emotions. When I write, I feel the feelings of all the thoughts and imagine myself in the perspective of whatever I am writing about. I rely on connecting my feelings/thoughts/experiences.

    LOL NICE DISCUSSION. Very intellectual indeed!

  5. LOL. That song is called Fan! Hahaha~!

    Ahh I see. Whenever I think of deep stuff, I never really know how to write it out in words. Or if I do write it out, I feel like somethings missing and it isn't as clear as it is in my head.

    "When I write, I feel the feelings of all the thoughts and imagine myself in the perspective of whatever I am writing about. I rely on connecting my feelings/thoughts/experiences."

    ^ Will try that. And that should be an official quote! <3

    Lol. I'm not sure about intellectual! But 'tis a nice conversation~!
