denial

i fear not for what we have become.
this heart beats not for you.
i fear not for we are nothing.

i do not see myself
growing more and more
in your art, in your life.
you find me not in your hands.

i do not see you in me,
not in the words that i speak
or the music in my ears.

you are not in every thought.
so i fear not.

  2. I saw this on reader and I was like, am i still dreaming? Nyl has a post? Haha. But it is true, and I am giddy about it. I remember this conversation we have at moon leaf, how this person see you before and if ever I am allowed to talk about that, hahaha. Hence, I will not go into the details.

    Hustin is correct.

    And, you know how happy I am for you, for the two of you, rather. :D

    1. Aris: And I missed all of you too! Grabe, ilang buwan din pala ako nawala. haha

      I recall reading some comments sa blog ni Joms about how difficult it is to sustain yung pagu-update after some time. I meant to tell you, oo. Iba na talaga ngayon. Siguro nahirapan lang ako mag-adjust. hehe

    6. See, Nyl, that's why you feel old, you grumpy young man.

      You're only as old as you're willing to sacrifice infants to Bazgul every full moon.

    7. Rudeboy: So that's your secret. lolz Adik ka.

      It just occurred to me that in 10 years, the boy (or buoy, in my case) in our Blogger names will seem more like a joke than a curse. haha
