Songs And Stories

Photograph by Ed Sheeran

Loving can hurt;

Loving can hurt sometimes,

But it's the only thing that I know.

I was watching the necklace you gave me. I opened its heart pendant and there I saw us. Frozen in time and both with wide smile in our faces.

And when it gets hard,

You know it can get hard sometimes,

It is the only thing that makes us feel alive.

I remembered being so anxious having no news about you. Where you are or how fine is your okay in your replies in my messages whenever you're on duty as a soldier.

It could always put me at ease whenever you're coming home to me. No questions ask.

I will just embrace you and thank God that He's always bringing you back to me. Safe and Sound.

We keep this love in a photograph,

We made these memories for ourselves,

I stroke the picture in the locket.

It was our stolen shot taken by our mutual friend from our first anniversary as lovers.

Where our eyes are never closing,

Hearts are never broken

And time's forever frozen still.

But, my smile fade while remembering the current you...

So you can keep me

Inside the pocket of your ripped jeans,

I was never the girly type.

I am comfortable with rubber shoes than heels.

Ripped up jeans than tight dresses.

That's me.

And that is the reason for giving me the locket than a diamond ring for a marriage proposal.

I stupidly blurted out, "diamond rings are so girly. All rings, I meant..." and then, shrug my shoulders.

Instead of rings you gave me a locket in asking my hand errr... neck in marriage... 

You said, I can wear this locket or just shove this in my pockets, like I would do but no. I cherished it more than anything.

Holding me closer 'til our eyes meet.

You won't ever be alone.

Wait for me to come home.
