There is a God and He is watching over me
There is hope as long as my heart beats
The only way across is through it
There will be peace, I know it
There is a God watching over me
And He will set me free
Tomorrow will be a new day
Anyway, I won’t waste today
It was a beautiful day
Perfect in its own way
Just like you.
The day was warm like your smile.
The breeze was gentle like your hugs.
There was an uncharacteristic quietness in your room
but your love filled my heart.
There was a void that engulfed me
but I poured your thoughts into it
and let the happy memories consume me.
It was a beautiful day
Though not nearly as beautiful as you!
…How I want to remember the day my grandma joined my grandpa in heaven…
Why did I ever stop believing
In all that’s good in this world?
When did I lose faith
In finding and keeping what’s rightfully mine!
How did I fall out of love
with the process of becoming?
Why did I let disappointments cloud my ray of hope?
When did I lose sight of my future, as bright as the stars I preach.
When did I forget that I’m as ready to take on the world as I will ever be.
How did I not see,
Hope is right around the corner;
Miracles happen without even asking;
And life is as beautiful as it can be.
You weren’t an easy goodbye,
But we agreed to disagree,
And knew being apart is how we’ll heal.
I close my eyes and it seems like ages ago
But you know I can still read your mind,
like it was just the day before.
I think of you and smile,
knowing that once upon a time,
You were mine.
I look at you and realise
I did something right.
You weren’t an easy goodbye.
And, though, apart we had to drift,
Our journey was a beautiful gift.
For the first time in a long time,
I’m in love with me once more.
Even in the midst of transitions,
I’m finally at home.
I’ve let go of what was holding me back.
No longer stuck on ‘almost’, I’m on the right track.
In sync with my soul, I’m at peace.
I’m liberated and free.
We cry but then we laugh so hard
At our misadventures.
What were they thinking?
What are we doing?
Questions never end;
No dearth of answers either.
We are looped in each other’s life.
We’re in our own trance,
Baking breads and cooking theories.
We keep picking up the pieces,
We’re holding it together,
And holding it for each other.
Soulmates exist.
We believe that.
We have that,
In each other for one another.
There’s one thing we’ll always believe,
There’s something so much better in our destiny.
We cry but then we laugh so hard.
We will always have each other.
I seek what I know not I want;
I seek an abode in the eye of the storm.
I trust the winds were sent for a reason,
To clear the dust or uproot the unstable base.
I trust that He’s guiding me with His beacon,
Slow or fast, at least I’m moving ahead in my own pace.
I know not what lies ahead;
I fear of losing what’s not mine yet.
I seek what I know not I want.
I found you.
When I sat by myself, introspecting,
You were in the reflection of the glass that I was holding.
When I walked the distance in solitary,
You were in the shadow that kept me company.
When the noise all around became overwhelming,
You were the voice in my head that got me going.
It was surprisingly easy to spot you in all the hullabaloo,
Once I knew what I was looking for was you.
You’re my confidence, the best part of me.
And against all odds, I found you in me.
Yesterday is an unfinished story.
All that it could have been,
is not what must be.
The world is still full of possibilities.
Yesterday’s future doesn’t lure me.
And yes, it is an unfinished story,
But out of all that could have been,
This eventuality is certain.
That’s the only truth I know.
