It's been years since I first met you,
since I first met those cinnamon brown eyes,
looking into mine like blinding lights,
reminding me of sweet petrichor days and the distinct smell of chestnuts,
those eyes are like two wide forests,
full of universes laid out by reveries and somnambulant daydreaming of your playful imagination,
and I yearn to explore each and every part of it.
Every part of your eyes.
It's been years since I first saw
that gorgeous face.
Like iron and wine,
your vermilion lips compliment your ivory skin, dusted with a light pink blush,
it would be impossible to see someone more beautiful than you.
It's been years since I first talked to you,
since I first heard that melodious and contagious laugh,
a beautiful sound replaying in my ears.
It's been years since I first heard your mini segues in our conversation,
or crazy rants about your life,
but one thing's for sure,
and it's that I will never get tired of it.
I don't believe in red threads of fate but,
the first time we met,
I could somehow sense an invisible string tied around our pinkies,
intertwined,
like cupid ushering us to the right place of our hearts,
where clandastine paradises filled with love are present everywhere,
waiting for us.
I don't know if you noticed the string always tied to us, but I hope you did.
And if you did, would you cut that string or keep it intertwined like whirlpools?
Because I'm lost like a flightless bird,
confused, like a group of dark shadows,
always left there,
pondering about what we really are.
Because I keep contemplating,
and questioning,
only one lingering question dwelling in my mind rent free,
that is—
Does your heart beat for me?
Or for another person?
I've seen the way you look at me,
you tempt me with the eyes of trickery,
and I can't help but question your intentions—
Am I stuck in the labyrinth of your silly game,
Or is it really true?
So, I can't help but ask:
Do you like or like-like me?
