Your personal Tumblr journey starts here
no matter what language i try, the words i want to tell you never seem to sound the same when i sit to write them down.
"i'm sorry for keeping you at arm's length still."
"please let me stay by your side forever."
but no matter how fancy of words i use; none of it is what i have been truly longing to say.
i have never been a religious person but i have a silly habit — ever since i was younger, i would make a wish everytime i saw angel numbers.
"god above, please cure my tummy ache!"
"god, above, please let me ace this test tomorrow! i won't ask for anything else!"
my wishes are usually just whatever i needed in the moment; no more than childish whispers that i utter to myself, even if just to feel a little bit of hope.
you know? i saw an angel number today as well, but this time, the one i called out for, was you. neither the gods nor buddha but you, instinctively.
ah, before i even knew it, you became my god and my only wish. isn't that so silly?
mermaid prince of the sea,
i hear your giggles echo,
as you swim around in circles around my sinking form,
oh, my pearl, if only you wouldn't tease me so.
me who drowns in an ocean of affection for you,
and you who relishes in my foolishness;
my gaze that only rests upon you,
and yours that looks upon the entirety of this endless blue,
our worlds may never truly collide,
but as long as the sound of your laughter continues to ring in my ears,
as long as the smile never slips from your mouth,
let me drown for you.
