MASK

Wearing a mask,

while feeling sorrow, to cover it.

It's best to get used to these things, so you can treasure them.

The pain will be numbed, the wounds will be meaningless.

The sorrow will be nothingness, and happiness gained.

A smile, some tears.

It's best to get used to these things, so you can find out,

Wearing a mask,

The smiles are fake, the tears are lies.

Sadness was just a made up story, and your joy was always there.

A friend, an enemy.

Wearing a mask,

It's best to get used to them, so you can know,

Who is your savior, who is your death.

An enemy can stay, while a fried can betray.

In the end,

To wear a mask, is to hide the hurt locked inside,

but it hides your true self.

It hides your beautiful tears, it hides your lovely smiles,

It hides your true intentions,

It hides YOU.

FIRST GLANCE

At first glance, you seemed to be the kind of guy that was bad.

I got to know you better, and found out that you were actually different from the way you look.

I'm not saying that I've fallen for you but I'm saying I have come to know you.

Let's see, my first impression of you,

You looked like someone who would cause a lot of trouble,

Someone who will never easily forgive.

Your eyes always looked piercing and cold.

Your stance ever so stoic and alone.

Ah, reminds me of a lone wolf.

One day I realized, you had a much gentler side,

warm and funny,

Lots of friends surrounding, constantly smiling.

But when you are alone, your smile fades,

And walls rise up to cover yourself.

Mysterious and alluring.

Your personality I have come to known about,

Unique, different,

I like that.

Let's be good friends, and stay friends,

Without conflicts, without fights. :)

UNCHANGING

There is a charm about you...
One that is outstandingly enchanting...

You speak softly but loud enough for me to hear,
Clear like the water stream;
Soothing and inviting,
A safe place to be.

Your steps are silent and firm,
Brave and unwavering,
You come and go without a sound;
Unnoticed, you are beside me,
The next moment leaving.

Your eyes are pools of kindness,
And gentle like a feather of a dove.
Reflecting your every thought,
Honestly, gracefully.

Remembering your smiles,
Your laughter, your tears.
Along with the anger,
And also the fear.

The day we will part,
Will soon be here,
I will enjoy my moments with you,
When this chance is still here.

To remember YOU as YOU,

An unchanging heart.
