Dominique

I was a broken mess when you found me. 

A broken girl with a strong smile facade. 

I've been with a lot of guys and none of them was like you. 

they're  all the same, but you've  been different since the day we first met. 

I  kept my distance from you ever since. 

afraid to ruin your innocence. 

Afraid to inflict pain on your fragile heart. 

I've never believed in fate and destiny neither love. 

But whatever force of the universe it is, I end up finding my path leading to you. 

No matter how hard I try to push you away and change my own direction, 

I always find myself running back to you. 

Every path I take and even the ones I made, takes me back to you. 

When I was younger, I saw how my mom cried for my dad and she cursed at the wind. 

That was the day I realized love isn't  real, its just a feeling. 

But then when I'm around you I started feeling things I never knew existed. 

I was not much of  a listener. 

but everytime you speak I hold on to each word you say. 

I keep listening to your voice talking or speaking to me or even not to me. 

Your voice, every word that comes out of your mouth gives a small thud to my heart. 

Your laugh fills every crack of my soul.

And it was a music, I never thought I'll get addicted into. 

The brightness of your smile doth the sun the way daylight doth a lamp. 

Your eyes show a whole new universe, A whole new universe of possibilities of us. 

But still I was afraid because I never really knew what love was. 

And I keep on telling myself, this isn't  love. 

So I tried to push you away, but I end up going back to you. 

Because when you're  not beside me,  every part of me aches. 

Every breath is harder to take. 

Every move is harder to make. 

it gets harder to make a sentence and get on with my own life. 

because the thought  of losing you is starting to desicate me inside. 

And after all this time I was wrong. 

I was wrong about love, it was not just a feeling. 

It was a choice and I've been choosing you unconsciously. 

I've been taking paths and directions towards you thinking it'll  lead me back to someone else.

I wanted you after all this time. 

After everything that has happened, it was you I've been looking for. 

And no this was not destiny or fate, this is my glimpse of the future knowing I'm  spending it with you. 

And I'm not letting you go.
