Season 2, Episode 10 - SLEEP

The evening howls in silence

A muted darkness falls over

So deafening the stillness, 

As thoughts of you still linger.

A light gentle wind drifts by,

With the warmth of a summer breeze

How strange the tides seem to be

When a lonely heart is in need of ease.

Staring blankly at the ceiling above

Casting shadows in my mind

Asking myself again and again

Alas, empty answers are all I could find.

Then sadness engulfs without warning

Drowning me in these four walls.

Why it appears too difficult to grasp

Such matters of the heart and all.

Yes people falter, but I don't get

The changes that never seem to end

Do I lose myself in the process?

Or do I ask my heart to mend?

In this abyss where longing ensues

Your silhouette persists to taunt

A familiar dampness runs on my face,

The taste of hurt remains to haunt.

So I close my eyes and heave a sigh

While I fathom the depth of what was.

"Love can't be found where it doesn't exist

Nor can it be hidden where it truly does."

Season 2, Episode 9 - STARE

It was dark.

I heard the door close. Someone was in the room. I suddenly felt someone snuggle up from behind me like it was just the normal thing to do. It was you.

I turned to face you on the bed. You were already smiling and you seemed happy. I felt at peace. You continued staring at me silently with your brown eyes for a couple of minutes. Even from the darkness, I could still make out the contour of your face, your nose, your lips, of how your eyes crinkle when you smile. You were just staring at me and I felt myself numb from it.

From what seemed like forever, you suddenly uttered something.

"Promise me one thing," you said. And then you suddenly kissed my forehead and hugged me tight.

My brows furrowed. I got confused and I felt myself tearing up. But you were still smiling. 

'Wait, what is this about?' I asked myself.

You were about to say something but I suddenly found my right index finger to your lips and shushed you. I held your hand and there was that smile again.

I inched myself closer to you, our breathing already in rhythm with each other. I saw your smile disappear and turned into that look of longing. You brushed my hair and caressed my chin. We continued to stare at each other for a few seconds. Then, I found myself brushing my nose against your eyes, your cheek, your nose, your lips.

Suddenly, from the darkness, we found our lips just a mere half an inch from each other and our eyes gazing in the heat. We were about to lock our lips to what seemed like a night of passion.

And then, I woke up.

Season 2, Episode 8 - MILESTONE

It's a bit pathetic but, nonetheless, it's still definitely a milestone. It's my first ever Facebook post achieving more than 100 likes. Pathetic...(smirk)
