Charmed

Your aura enamours me
Though you're not here in person,
I could feel the warmth you'd have given me
Through rough days and cold nights
Through early mornings and long fights
That's how much your presence and absence means to me

Though you're probably only making a cameo in my life
At least I know you exist
As your existence was something I longed for
Since I remember care
Since I remember having a company l could share my ups and downs with
Since I remember how missing someone feels like

Beholden, Need Not

I don't want to own you
A jaywalker, and if you're the fence, I just want to walk pass you
See you every day for a little while as I walk down the street
Sweeping you off my feet maybe; with my cuffs, if you're the ground that is
Maybe water you in the morning on my way to work if you're the flowerbed

I don't want to hang on to you
A bird, and you're a tree, I just want to drop by and perch for a while when it's too hot
Or when it rains, you'll be my shelter
Or maybe I'll lay down on your dried leaves on the ground if I'm being me
I'll pick a book and have a read

I don't want to cling to you
But if I'm a photographer I wouldn't mind a suspicious dollar bill to take your photos
Capturing your smile, your goofy self and your gaze
Even if you feel uncomfortable, not being yourself in the morning, I'll make you pose for fun
And bribe you for breakfast!

I won't try to possess you, convince you
But I'll fight you, make you say what you want to say
Make you say what you mean and mean what you say
I'll cut you till you bleed to make you feel alive
Make you realise that I'll be there if you need me around

Because we met to meet, met to love, met to care
Not necessarily to be with each other, be in love, be in each other's care
Because love is a mystery, love is poetic, love is an interesting phenomenon
Something that wanders in our imagination
An illumination in the darkness

And I won't have you beholden to me
Unless you want to
Unless you want me to
Unless the canvas of your life needs colour
Unless you want me around forever

Inglorious Glow

So I tried to read your mind but your snigger caught me
I tried to breathe easy but your tinkers poached me
So suspicious; this notion between you and me
Yet so wondrously it lingers, snuggling me
No promises made, no expectations foreseen
Though it seems unpromising and almost unseen
Will it remain inglorious, I'd rather not know
For if it stays notorious, I'd doom the glow

Bukan Sekarang, Kasih

Kopi ku bancuh, ku hirup di pagi hari
Sambil ku perhatikan dirimu sedang beraksi
Kau bagaikan pendekar impian di dalam mimpi
Caramu berbicara memeriahkan emosi
Ku jatuh cinta bukan kerna rupa wajah mu
Bukan juga sebesar kotak wang ringgit mu
Ku cuma senang hati dengan pemikiran mu
Jauh kau memandang setinggi gunung Kinabalu
Awan berbisik sesama sendiri bila kau tiada
Membuat ku resah, berbicara tanpa suara
Kasih, kau membuatkan diriku merana
Namun mungkin itu semua dugaan beta
Laksaman pena ku, biarlah disini saja
Sampai masanya nanti kita kan bertemu juga
Perasaan ini ku tahu akan kekal
Mungkin bukan sekarang, tetapi ku harus cekal

Love Seat

Never meant to make you wend
Never meant to make you misspend
I intended to represent
The actual mistrust I've underwent

As the illusions I've apprehended
Had me reoffended the warmth they recommended
Delusional and consumable, I then pretended
That every piece are unamended

For such passion is inevitable
My confessions are dimensional
Of which each of them will be skeptical
To those who are prophetical

So relinquish that desire
Of which you will soon misfire
For I'm one you will encipher
For the waiting is now kitschier
