Start Again

Assalamualaikum

You seemed strong on the outside,
Your shoulders were broad,
With your straight back,
You stepped out in full confidence.

But just like others, sometimes you're trying to find ways to hide your insecurities.
Sometimes your stand was shaken by the people around you.
Sometimes you didn't even know yourself.
Sometimes you felt useless,
You were no good.

I had always liked you, and the way you spoke.
How you could pick up beautiful words and didn't sound bad,
Even though the things you were to say wouldn't be pleasing to others,
You said the truth without hurting, at least you tried.

I had always liked to convince you, you're doing just fine.
In fact you're doing so good and so perfect in my eyes.
But the things from my view weren't something so convincing,
You would need better, and others'.

You're going to face another phase of life,
So good luck with that.

I hope people around you will care for you.
I hope someone will ask you whether you've eaten or not,
What you would like if you haven't.

I hope there will be some who know if you're sick.
And care, not too little and not too much,
Just enough to make you feel good.
Not too early, not too late,
Just enough to make it on time.

I hope people around you are all good,
Will always show you to do good,
And remind you of Allah.

Assalamualaikum You're the simpler version of creamy carbonara I've been craving for. Could never get tired of its expensive taste. And I can always find it any time at the back of my minimalist kitchen. The space for you, my spiced creamy carbonara, will always be there. Because I want it to.  You're the random people on the street.  In the crowds of beings on the land and in the sea. You stand and blend in, just like me.  But you got your own place in my heart. It sits in every beat, it rushed every single drop of adrenaline I sometimes subconsciously give in to,  From the first second I knew it's too late for me to run. You're the ordinary type of chocojar. But my all-time favourite callebaut. You're the usual face of peach strudles in the fridge, But forever my Kenny Hills' beautiful peach strudles I've been longing for. You're no actors or singers,  But you're the ultimate masterpiece in my eyes.  You got me running in a circle but now it

"Slut!"

 Assalamualaikum You're deserving of beautiful songs with sweet melodies, Scenting with roses and bits of peonies, Sweet and citrusy, Just like your favourite drink. In my other dream in another night, I felt suffocated as I missed your natural scent so much. And how much I regretted taking another path, Which no longer lead me to you.  I woke up feeling scared and at ease, As you were laying down next to me, Sleeping soundly and still dashingly looking.  You're a blessing sent by Him. And your whole being is everything I need.  And I want no other.  For all the late nights and early mornings, I could never thank you enough.  And no apology could ever make up for everything. You take me as I am. You see all the shameless flaws I'm owning up and never leave.  You make me feel loved, so much, despite my hideous sides I once scared to show.  You pamper me so much till I forgot how human you are, And how much you mean to me. Now I'm telling you I still like you a little bit

Say Don't Go

 Assalamualaikum Taking people for granted sometimes is meant with intentions. They can be pure, and sometimes regarded as remedial purity.  What about you, then? Fathoming love, I always thought was an easy thing to do. All my teenage years spent looking for one,  Blushed and flushed, both love and mad, I always thought my ribs were familiar with the word love and the meaning it brought by. But each night before bed, I wondered what it means to love and be loved? Then the topic of love languages came through. We all have different languages to express our love. What about you, then? What about you?
