Dear R. (Poem)


I hold my pen now

As i can't hold your hand yet

To tell myself what i can't tell you yet

I can count on my fingers

The words we've exchanged

The non-significant times to the world but my own

Where my barriers shook, second guessing my persona

Wanting to be someone else, maybe one who can catch your eye.

Wondering how high are the stakes to win you over or lose myself over you.


You disrupted my world the very moment my eyes landed on you

You questioned my very ways of living by just existing

You've become such a big part of my thoughts,

I sometimes wonder, if i dwell in yours as well?

Every inch of who you are fascinates me

From the move of your hands to the shuffle of your feet

You scare me as much as you fascinate me

Conflicted to run away or get to you

Torn between the urge to know you or behold you from afar

I have lived so many lives, been so many people

I wonder who do i offer to you?

And would you take me if I did?


So, many questions for answers yet to come

To live in the present for a future yet to be

My heart soars at a glimpse of you

To feel so many things for a life not yet intertwined with mine

to reach out for an mirage that's fading

for a question that burns my lips

can we be? can we truly be ever be R?

P.S: The picture is of one my favorite movies called "Warm bodies" the zombie character is called R. but the poem is dedicated to another person i do call R.
