Like the poem says, I'm going for a close to a month-long hiatus.

Why? Mainly the reason for pausing this story is because of Promo Examinations. As much I want to write, I have to catch up with a LOT of schoolwork. It's going to be tough revision from this week onwards, and I don't want to burden myself.

And another reason is because my motivation level has been quite low. Literally nothing interesting and story-worthy has been happening so far. There were some sparks here and there, but not enough to inspire me to write.

If you guys are wondering if I ever started on Chapter 12, I'm actually halfway through it now. But I feel like if I spend most of the September holidays doing it, I won't have the time or effort to study for Promos.

I should be free by mid-October, and then I'll continue. Maybe then I would have the motivation!

Hang on guys, I'll be back soon! :)

hiatus: (hʌɪˈeɪtəs/ noun ) a pause or break in continuity in a sequence or activity.

How I think of you

Is like intervals

A period of longing

A period of calm

Yearning, silence.

Over and over.

I may pause my feelings

A second, two minutes

Maybe a day

But I will never stop.

---

I don't know how to stop.

In those moments when

I am silent,

I still find you in the most

Vacants parts of my mind

A wanderer you are.

There's a limit between

How much I want to stop

And how much I long

To see you

---

My mind is tired.

It has been running

Sprinting, exhausted

I need a break.

I need to stop.

Permanently.

But everytime I stop

I start thinking of you again.

---

I wish this period of stillness

Would go on forever

I don't want to hurt myself

Anymore

Must I wait long, for you?
