POETRY THAT STAYS

Goodnight My Love

I hope in your sleep tonight you'll come to recall how we started. Dream about us. Dream about how you loved me before I loved you.

 Dream about how I pushed you because I wanted to keep my world quite but you broke down my defenses and insisted to have a place. 

Dream about me telling you why I had trust issues. Dream about me not wanting to love again after seeing fragments of it on our doormat when papa left. Dream about me, with that wide-smile you said I should wear everyday. 

Dream about me slowly changing my second natures and began memorizing your habits. Dream about me telling you I never loved someone like how I loved you. 

Dream about me finally believing that everything is going to be worth it if I risk again. Dream about me digging up my trust and resuscitates it back to life.

Dream about me slowly fading that smile and began clothing myself with sadness when you began changing like weathers.

 Dream about me pleading for love as if you forgot you once gave it whole to me. Dream about me not sleeping well when you're deep in slumber, when I ask the spirits of blues if I am still worthy. 

Dream about me blaming myself for loving much. Dream about me waiting for closures, waiting for verbal ends.

And I hope you sleep well and deep tonight, where you started having dreams you tried to escape when you're awake. 

I hope in your dreams, you'll remember again how it feels having me, how it feels being loved by me.

So goodnight my love,

I hope in your dreams, you'll remember the love you gave me. And maybe by this morning, you'll love me again

like how you did before.

Or if ever you don't,

just wish me a good night

when you say your goodbye.
