Tin Escueta

You were the lone star in my sky and I was the apple of your eye, but then not all stories have happy endings no matter how much two people loved each other.

As the moon crept into the sky –
You hold me close, my body in flames

I made my choice to stop pursuing the impossible but I never did once stop loving you, to an extent that I have already saved some for myself.

You were poems I wrote in the fall
Just when I thought I wouldn’t love at all

It only took some time before she realized she deserved more. A daisy in the field of roses who wasn’t like the rest but was breathtaking the way she is.

Love can last a lifetime but it could also fall apart in a blink of an eye.

I wished that I told you all the words I’ve kept to myself all those years, how I felt more like myself when I’m with you.

So, each night I wait here under the stars, looking beyond the crowds and cars. I guess I’ll never know when I’ll find the love I felt with you again.
