it never appeared to me
how love could define itself
the sight of you could never leave my eyes
like a father watching his daughter grow

for having all the power in the world
to perish into dust when it comes to you
absurdly,
only i could hold this very power
this skimpy human being could find a purpose
and appreciate what he upholds before him

only my promise was worthy of all the unsaid words
young love,
what do they know

the next chapter flips on its own
like destiny testing the waters
i turn my back and see a smiling you
that very back brought that smile of yours
i could leave now

even if my bones turn brittle
and my lips turn ever pale
if i had the liberty of choices to make
i'd risk my whole life
and never turn back
only
if it meant that you would be happier

one's purpose to live could never be duplicated
for the waves never got tired for kissing the same surface for eternity
that's how i'd leave your life
with our memories retained in the pocket of my last
beating vessel
for i wrap my entire being around you
till the end of my chapter
