Of all the lies I’ve lived, and all the lies I’ve been told, the lies I told myself hurt the most.
MIRA R. ARIDIOf all the lies I’ve lived, and all the lies I’ve been told, the lies I told myself hurt the most.
MIRA R. ARIDIThe clock ticks by and all I could think of is that at least I’m a day closer to seeing you.
MIRA R. ARIDII want to fold you into my book, like a petal, so that you’d never leave.
MIRA R. ARIDIWe preserve their places in our hearts depending on the way they leave them.
MIRA R. ARIDIWhere once there were a few houses between us, now there are seas.
MIRA R. ARIDIIf there’s anything I’ve learnt so far, it’s that to love others, you should give them space to breathe.
MIRA R. ARIDIThis is face blindness, but not really it. Among all the faces I see, I could only see yours.
MIRA R. ARIDISometimes I feel like I’m only a drop in your ocean and the waves will soon carry me away.
MIRA R. ARIDIAnd it scares me that if I ever get my wings, I might not know where to fly to.
MIRA R. ARIDIWe reshape our memories into uglier versions because it’s hard to forget them while they’re still beautiful.
MIRA R. ARIDIYou pull away and suddenly I have more room to grow.
MIRA R. ARIDII got used to temporary things. I’m afraid I might not want anything permanent at all.
MIRA R. ARIDIYou feed me poison in a spoon of gold and I always ask for more.
MIRA R. ARIDII shed skin after skin, seeking my true colors, expecting a rainbow or a stripe of black, but all I get are maps of red. We are all human underneath.
MIRA R. ARIDII run from my thoughts of you and meet them in my dreams.
MIRA R. ARIDIWhen she laughs, her soul floats outside her body and I can touch it.
