Can I ask
for your
understanding?
Can I ask
you for
motivation?

when I'm feeling
low and
down in the dust,
battling demons.
Will you be
the hand that
pulls me out
of this ocean?

Will you be
my strength
and the power
when I need it?
Will you be
the stars
in the sky
when it feels
void and empty?

When it's dark
outside, will you
be the firefly
guiding me
to my dreams?
Will you be
the lullaby that
puts me to sleep?

Will you be
the shade that
protects me from
being burnt?
I need your
smarts and
your knowledge
to be someone.

I need you
by my side
helping me to
do things right.
I need your heart
that's wealthy
in love and
kindness.

I need your
imagination to
be the catalyst
of my creativity.
I need your
presence to
be my binding,

binding me
to this life and
fall in love
deeply with it.
To enjoy
breathing
and living
at once,

To take in
the beauty
of the sunsets
and the nature
before me.
You prompt me
to the garden
of your love,
To smell the
blooming
sunflowers
on your heart.

To feel the nectar
right off your
affection.
To bring me up
with your
sweetness alone.
My heart throbs
at these fuzzy
feelings that
you give me.

I'm a dumpling,
melting in your fire,
I write these words
in English,
but my mind
only speaks
the language
of our memories,
it's too far deep
in our lore and
fantasies.

You make
everything
worth it.
I want to
relive our
history,
I want to
relive
meeting you
for the first time
again.

I want to adore
those moments
that have now
become precious.
They are like
an anchor for
my heart.
They keep me
alive so much.
I loved everything
we had.
I loved the things
you did for me.

You would push me
through my limits.
Your words lit up fire
in my chest that
didn't disappear.
Now I still go to gym,
changing myself to
a better me everyday.

To a me you wanted.
Like I promised.
I'm a new me now.
Even if I black out
from overworking myself.
Even if I wreck myself
doing all this.
I'd still keep at it,
for you are still
burning inside of
my chest
for a lifetime
to which nothing
compares.
