whenever the sun would set so freely,
i become used to realizing
that maybe, the part of letting you go
was not a bad decision at all.
you made every palm trees around me
filled with so much colors-- evergreen.
you litten up the dark sides of me
which no one has ever seen.
you came like a crashing wave
where i've put my surfboard as it
helped me cross along the shore
to smell its salty odor.
you helped me catch my breath
as i rised up from the ocean floor
where somehow i've hidden my deepest secrets
which i trusted you so i've told-
and maybe, at that time when i've let you go,
you were the sun that
would suddenly hide itself for the mean time
so i didn't have to worry
since the night would also fall
and the moon would find its way to me
lighting up the dark residue that somehow
couldn't be removed by myself.
