My heart wouldn’t break if you ignore me
It wouldn’t break even though it won’t be easy
It wouldn’t break even if you pay more attention
To my friend and I’m not worth a mention
My heart wouldn’t break if you push me aside
And makes me all crummy and bad inside
It wouldn’t break just because you’re talking to her
After all, she is my sister
My heart wouldn’t break if you’re happy with her
Cos as long you’re happy, I’ll be happier
It might just crack a little cos of the pain
But it wouldn’t break just because you hurt me again
But if one day when I finally see
That you think you and her are meant to be
The day my heart breaks would be the very day
You held hands with her and walked away
I chose my clothes with much care
as much as I hope he’ll stare
I decided against outrageous
in case I get a little careless
I styled my hair in the usual way
but made it much neater today
I added on a clip of two
faced the mirror and thought it was pretty cool
I made sure everything was in place
as I put on my birthday necklace
bells and bracelets on my wrists
and a spray of perfume for a twist
I twirled around in front of my reflection
in hoping it’ll give some confirmation
I thought I wasn’t that bad looking
after all, I’m dressing up for him
I was oblivious to my surroundings
But then a shadow loomed in front of me
He said, “Hi”
And I wondered who it was initially
I saw a neatly pressed shirt
Worn on a long and lean torso
Equally smart pants
And leather shoes to go
“Who may this be?”
My frantic mind wondered
Not daring to move a muscle
Lest I might stumble
Slowly, I raised my questioning eyes
Toward’s the stranger’s face
I nearly gasped at the recognition
For he was someone I could never replace
I hid my surprise
And felt my lips smile
“Hello,” I said
Something I’ve been wanting to say all these while
He smiled back at me
A smile so sweet
It pushed me back into time
Where memories were buried deep
We didn’t talk much
And he didn’t stay long
As he walked away
I wondered what went wrong
* Note that this is a haiku
Strolling as I think
Right down on memory lane
My fragile heart stirs
On the left I’ll see
The tall theatre that we watched
A block buster hit
Turning to the right
There you accompanied me
Later, you explained
That it was against
Your principles to leave me
Standing alone there
I just rolled my eyes
And was grinning like a fool
I’m glad you’re here
Further down the lane
Was the palce where you first sang
That melted my heart
I’ll never forget
When you caught my eyes and smiled
I blushed a little
Down memory lane
Too much memories ahead
The good and the bad
Happiness yet sad
Those lovely moments we shared
Ah, bittersweet love
Haiku: A japanese verse form, consisting of 17 syllables altogether in a 5-7-5 pattern. Usually written about nature.
it’s always good to hear his voice
over the phone or for real
it’s better to just meet up with him
in his presence, bliss I’ll feel
I’m very happy, and oh so very glad
that he’s part of my reality
at times it’s even better still
when he sneaks into my fantasies
creepingly, he’ll come to my mind
and knock on the door
full of excitement, I’ll open it
and see what he has in store
seeing him in my dreams
at times, it feels better
for reality has it’s limits
while this takes me further
for once I could manipulate my dreams
like there was no tomorrow
for in the dreams he came into
hurt flies out the window
thus every night before I sleep
I beckon him to come
in hope, I would wait for him
into the morning sun
will he notice me
if I look into his eyes
totally drawn to them
and be mesmerised
will he notice me
if I sacrificed my time
my effort and everything
to make sure he’s fine
will he notice me
if I just look from a distance
as he laughs with his pals
and I, nothing but a nuisance
will he notice me
if I offer my heart to him
but he isn’t careful with it
and I’m hurt again
I put on a Mask
to hide my Past
of Loneliness and Regrets
and things I can’t Forget
I paste a Smile
that lasts awhile
so no one can see
the Real, True me
I just want to hear your voice
I just want to see your face
at times I’ve thought of dropping by
to see you at your place
I just want to rest my eyes
on the whole of you
I just want to hold your hand
to know that you are true
I just want to hear you laugh
I just want to see you smile
and hold on to that memory
that will never last awhile
I just want to hear your teasings
on my looks or hair
I just want to feel you near
to assure me that you’re there
