"I feel relaxed, that was a much needed session. "

"You've been through so much, your body has been through so... so.. much."

"I know, and this free time is making me restless... I need to do something. "

"Its good you work hard, but you need some time for yourself."

"I've had a lot of time by myself.. I just want to hang out with you more."

"Me too. I want to be there for you."
"Take care."

i avoid seeing you in the eyes
for fear my iris will betray me

i bury these feelings deep inside
for fear of unearthing my embarassment

i wish i could express my love
but for now, being here for you
hanging out, talking, singing
is the only way i can express it

because i fear that saying what i feel
will kill the comfort we found in each other

sit in silence
drink each other's cup of tea
duetting songs we only know
talk about thrifting
think of the future
loving other people

its funny how everytime
i want to approach you
my heart beats fast
but slowly relaxed when
you smile

knowing, you're comfortable
makes me happy

and you make me feel comfort
as i am wholly myself
whenever you're present
