SM - Roses

Assalamualaikum

You never thought the one in the mirror had me wrapped around his finger.
From the day I told you about the one who got away and the one who's far,
I hoped I did it well: pretending you had always been somewhere but my mind.

I never wanted to write the truth about how I felt.
I told them I didn't know what was inside,
They tried to figure it out for me,
Saying like they have been living me for the past 20 years.

A simple-minded like me,
You could see everything through a few blinks of my eyes.
They said I'm easy to guess.
Can they know me when I don't even know the one I see through every reflection?

It's unfair.
I thought last month's wave did brush everything off.
But here you are, with the sands of sparkles,
Reminding me of the one and only you.

 Assalamualaikum I want to talk about a lot of things with you. How the orange skies I'm looking at right now, give me warmth and wonders. Wonders, and how beautiful they are, and what you are doing right now. I want to talk about the busy roads underneath my feet. And how the lights blinding some eyes at night, And how wonderful it would be, if you'd share about your night sky with me every day. I want to show you the things around me, How wonderful it would be, If you're to show me some butterflies in you, And how you really feel, after knowing the things that made me, me today.  I want all your sights and gaze.  All your sympathies and phases.  All of your spotlights and highlights. I want you to wonder, about my favourites and preferences. About my whole past and I want you, To look forward to the future, ahead of me and you.

Life

 Assalamualaikum It's been months I guess? These days the monologues shared are within me and my mind only.  People said my looks are pale and clueless. If only they know, The things I keep replaying in my head. The things that keep my beatings awake and I promise you they include what I should have for my next meal.  I honestly don't know what has happened to me. What has befallen me, to make me who I am today. I replayed back the moments I had when I was young. Those people and places, those facades and brutal honesty. Those half-hearted efforts and hard tears.  Those years. I always remember the times I had my demons with me. Well, I still have them with me these days. Those episodes of me and my unleashed devil traits would always make me wonder, Am I destined to be wicked? Or are they here as a test for me as a Muslim? I don't know. Those bad habits and sins are enjoyable while they last. But the heart has always known they can never sit with ease inside your be...

Life - You Mean So Much

 Assalamualaikum I want to go to Ikea once again with you. And try my best to be myself, to not fall asleep, Just to catch your laughs and smiles, And to watch you feel like yourself again.  I want to buy you lunch and dinner, and knock on your door. I want to have my meals with you, and think hard about what you can eat and what you're not supposed to take in. I want to fall asleep next to your bed. And notice how much you hate bad smells. And notice how you'd look like in the morning. And smile at you, with all my heart. I want you to feel my presence, each time you feel you're alone. I want to pick you up at the bus stop, and take you somewhere and we're gonna have some desserts. I want to buy you your favourite waffles with ice creams on top of them. I want to watch you eat and laugh. I want to do stupid things in front of you. I want to pray with you. And read Al-Quran with you. I want to talk about the wonders of Islam with you, and I want you to remind me of stuf...
