You're still you, right? Right?!

She's beyond all of that.

Random Leaf #453

It doesn't hurt as much as I expected it would.

Random Leaf #452

Miracles often occur in the minute details.

Random Leaf #451

You're not mad. So are those who misunderstands you. They only see the scars and never the wound.

Random Leaf #450

To the madman he isn't. He never were.

Random Leaf #449

They could not see the stars only you could see. They could not hear the music only could you hear. Do not lose hope but be grateful.

Random Leaf #448

Only now do I realize, in a starry lake, both you and I are a reflection of each other.

Random Leaf #447

And finally when  you reach out to me and I to you. Our hands passed through. You were always that close yet that far away as I remembered.

Random Leaf #446

Or much like the stars, they observe even the minutes of trivials of details.

Random Leaf #445

Does too the mountain see it's faults?

Random Leaf #444

"Are you not aware of the traitors you have around you?"

"I'm enjoying the company."

Random Leaf #443

"You bleed too easily."

"Yet my heart beats on."

Random Leaf #442

"You have a weak heart," the doctor said.

"Does it beat?"

"It does, why do you ask?"

"That's all that matters."

Random Leaf #441

Love changes but the heart will aways beat same rhythm as it always do.

Random Leaf #440

It's in her eyes. There is that known and unknown universe within her eyes. It is sad though, I am not a part of it.

Random Leaf #439

Heroes does not need die to essentially be heroes.

Random Leaf #438

And yet the world reminds me of you. No matter how long it would take without you  the world with everything in it is empty.

Random Leaf #437

Miracles can happen too but just like the golden hour, it exists briefly daily. If you let pass, miracles are just small trivial details.

Random Leaf #436

And those who've paid the price, can see the difference as clear as night and day.

Random Leaf #435

In all honesty though, there is a fine line, wide enough to cover acres of land, between courage and foolery.

Random Leaf #434

Jump off a cliff, you never know. Wings may painfully sprout out of your back, and in that instance, remember how to fly and you just fly. Or you probably just plummet to your death.

Take the chance or risk losing finding out whether you have wings or not.

Random Leaf #433

What pains you most, at the moment, is a beautiful lesson to be learned. It includes pains that breaks one's heart.

Random Leaf #432

Starting today, let's be strangers again. Maybe one day, when we meet again, that spark of love at first sight will rekindle.

Random Leag #431

It doesn't matter, really. To be lost in your eyes or drown as butterflies flutter in my stomach.

Random Leaf #430

I, too, can be lost everytime I find myself looking at you looking at me.

Random Leaf #429

If I recall though, he was never mortal. He never is. Yet he never claimed his godhood.

Random Leaf #428

Though I recon, he is still himself. No one else. So for him to deny himself is a testament, he's either in love or, some reason, dying.

Random Leaf #427

But of course, ghosts are real. So are love both unrealized and unrequited.

Random Leaf #426

But if one lies enough, even the truth are simply promises prepared to be real.

Random Leaf #425

It is hardly distinguishable, without light, which are carried by the same wind.

Random Leaf #424

But even then, fallen leaves carries on their own individual stories or one that are of the same branch.

Random Leaf #423

Leaves won't fall green and vibrant with life. Only those who've seen more of what is to come and what was are brave enough to let go.

Random Leaf #422

In the distant future, promises are real. Unlike now.

Random Leaf #421

Much like the moon have power over the ebb of tides, she have power over the sky. So does she over my heart.

Random Leaf #420

It came back. Memories that never existed. It just suddenly return. It speaks: "You are saved. Everything's fine. It's okay. You don't have to worry about anything. You're alright, I promise you."

There must be something, right? Something like water to a thirsty man lost in the middle of a desert. There must always be something.

We never wanted the gift when they come back. We never really wanted those. What we want is their promise that someday, sometime hence, they will return.

To the sea of woods,

one who is lost

is merely a traveller admiring

her beauty.

The tears in her eyes

are not of sadness.

The screams of fear and despair

are language unknown to the forest,

adulation.

Random Leaf #413

Perhaps it's the urgency that one needs be saved. But that's not it. It never is to them. Time is trivial to one who stood remain immemorial.

Is there any difference at all between drowning in sea and getting lost in the sea of woods?

Is there really

To the sea

One who drowns

Is merely a dancer

Random Leaf #410

The boy was gasping for air

As he hardly swim.

And the girl beside him was smiling.

He was drowning

and all she could think of

was how gracefully they swim.

Random Leaf #409

Other than the sin. You also have to accept the lies as well. The honest man will never always be unsilenced.

Random Leaf #408

But by the tine you realized it, you would have been too late. What form of glitter and shine would any treasure hunter leave untouched?

Random Leaf #407

You too have to accept the sins and flaw included. It's never always the bright side, if you look closely.

Random Leaf #406

It's never as easy as accepting gifts. It's never like that.

Random Leaf #405

Here I'm afraid my bad side outweighs what's good in me.

Random Leaf #404

And yet there are lies, no matter how long it took, still remained.

Random Leaf #403

In case I forget, I never actually meant to be lost. But finding oneself isn't actually bad.

Random Leaf #402

Was it a curse that kept him from lying or was it another lie?

Random Leaf #401

"I can go on if I wanted to," I told them my truth.

Random Leaf #400

Am I in love right now or am I just at the peak of being foolish for today?

Random Leaf #399

What's there to dream anyway? Childhood regrets? Unrequited love? Star crossed love? Sad songs? Tragedies? A dark humor? A fantasy? The what ifs? The road not taken? That beautiful butterfly you saw sometime back then probably ages and ages hence? The fairies you talked about your friends? The flies you called friends? The tragedy of the prodigal son? The untold stories? The stories kept untold? Those silly daydreams that you had?

What is there to dream about?

Random Leaf #398

"To be honest, though. I should be sleeping right now. Instead I am dreaming."

Random Leaf #397

Who does not tell a lie?

Who does not fall in love?

Random Leaf #395

But at this age and what's to come. Who doesn't, right?

Random Leaf #394

"But in my defense, I could be wrong," I lied.

Random Leaf #393

The king's fool would at times speak of harsh truth. They may cause heartaches even without breaking hearts. They entertain people but at the end of the day aren't people themselves?

Random Leaf #392

But it much like tragedies, it doesn't have to be always about love.

Random Leaf #391

The same with heart breaks, love unrequited, love that never happened and love that are too abstract to even be called love.

We can cry about those too.

Random Leaf #390

It doesn't have to be about tragedy and sadness all the times.

Random Leaf #389

Heavy hearts eases its burden. Tired eyes feels refreshed. A bit of one's soul, too, overflows. But there's a beauty to it.

I wonder how you are now. Are you as miserable as me? Or have you found what truly would make you happy?

Random Leaf #386

But without it, those gifted and ungifted will forever be lost.

Language restricts soul. There are rules and barriers. And at times limitations which is why butterflies just flutter in our stomach.

Random Leaf #384

I never loved speaking anyway. Nor does word, grammar and language in it's entirety.

Random Leaf #383

For when we, back then, to each other speak. We have our own language. Or was it I the only one that spoke it and simply misnderstood you.

Random Leaf #382

Or were thinking the same about each other. Two kindred soul ignorant of the universe and its language.

Random Leaf #381

I do wonder though, was I always a stranger?

Random Leaf #380

And surely I am now, to you, have long been forgotten. Just a stranger you once met, talked to and remembers no more.

Random Leaf #379

I am lost now. And with great certainty, it is undeniable now. Ever since then, have I felt love.

Random Leaf #378

How I wish I could back, fetch it and to you give it as a present.

Random Leaf #377

And I was supposed to have forgotten about it. But whenever my mind remembers, I just remember where I left it.

Random Leaf #376

And I left it somewhere. Far from me, close to you.

Random Leaf #375

Even a lonely god would choose solitude instead of an empty universe.

Random Leaf #374

Between a long life and a happy one, I'd never choose one without you.

Random Leaf #373

For the devil does not

Cry if you must,

But do know

You truly felt it.

And the love you felt,

It is genuine and true.

Fall in love

If you want to,

You'll get hurt, maybe,

at some point.

But bear with it.

It's the beautiful kind of hurt

that some day you'll be glad

that you've felt it.

If you can, have the decency to make them feel they exist. Make them feel that they are worth more than how others unjustly estimates their being. They are there. They exist. They're not some silly background, side character, faceless passerby. They are heroes, heroine of their own story.

Make them feel appreciated that they are them.

I want to hurt you. But not in a bad way. I just want slap you back into reality.

For you choose the kindness in their heart that with certainty deny the evil that is part of them. You take in the benefit that they are kind and uncruel, that your eyes are blind to the worse they could give.

Into the world, as well, you turn your eyes away.

At one point of his life, he became the most sinful man to have ever died.

Random Leaf #342

It just so happened one day. A poet sitting somewhere in solitude, out of a broken heart or just falling in love, chance upon the sky from the horizon and mountain beneath. Or pehaps it was just a land, a field where a farmer is tilling, or a somewhat busy street, whatever that is the poet saw. He thought to himself there's a love story to be told here.

Random Leaf #341

The dreamer is jealous of the love story neither of the two knows exists.

Random Leaf #340

The earth to the sky is but a mischevious stone rolling towards the horizon. And sky to the earth is just emptiness.

Yet those chose to see it, sees otherwise.

There is nothing in between unrequited stars. Just empty gazes and hollow what if. Nothing more.

There too is bounty for deciding not to. So is remuneration for being evil as well as honor in heroism.

Random Leaf #336

There is no glory in going to hell, only hardship. Look at Orpheus.

Bur of course, being the self proclaimed hero you are, I am sure you will, in the end, be glorifying all of it, right?

Those cracks forming and that have long time formed, sooner or later they will burst and you will be completely overwhelmed.

Just ease the pain you're feeling. The hurt is sipping through the cracks forming all over you.

Live for the moment. Love her now, regret what's to come later when it finally comes. But you must love her. Give that benefit of the doubt to yourself and just commit to it that you will have the happy ending you so desire.

Random Leaf #329

Only of you could just be evil for once. Find your happiness and just forget what the consequences will be just to be happy.

Random Leaf #328

It's eating yourself up. You're destroying yourself. You won't admit, I know. Or perhaps you have not yet realized it.

Random Leaf #327

It's not a sin. Cruelty to one's self isn't a sin, if that's what you want to hear. Being unkind to yourself isn't a sin as well, if that's what you want to hear.

Most of the time to himself.

There will be times the hero will do so.

You should understand, the true evil there is being unkind.

The villains are the ones who understand. They're the ones misunderstood the most.

Does it deny your commitment to dreams?

You have your own reservations.

Aren't they one and different at the same time?

Sacrifice.

More than ever she could be.

It's her eyes, the way she smiles, how she talks. It's all everything that she does. Heck, even the littlest gesture she does. She is happy. More than ever.

If one says the hero have not sinned his entire life. I am proud to say, I have heard better lies.

There are sins one cannot simply turn away from.

In a cruel word, to be evil is a choice.

'Was that all?' He said with a bit of pride and relief.

Random Leaf #277

'What little more sin could I possibly inherit?' He thought nonchalantly and without remorse.

He beat his chest with his clenched fist.

"It's somewhere here, right?"

Random Leaf #275

It hurts somewhere, right? You don't know where, you can't pit anywhere, you've got no wound or anything, but it just hurt.

Is it beneath your eyes? Is it inside your head? You're confused, even with what you're feeling right nowz but it isn't in your head. You know it's all in your head, but isn't inside your mind.

You're hurting. You can't breath properly as you sob and try so hard to calm your breath.

Then tears suddenly swell up just beneath your eyes. It drips slowly, but only when it slid down your cheek that you're already too late to realize. You're crying.

It's because you're hurt. It hurts, right? It really hurts. It hurts like hell. It's excruciating. But you're certain you're not bleeding, cut or wounded anywhere. You're hurt.

And the further we are, a little lie of encouragement will always make us say: "It's not far off. We're almost there. Just a few more push. Maybe tomorrow."

It wasn't how the ocean sees the stars through her eternal eyes ti which both fathom great and vast depth neither would ever reach.

It was far too simple, painfully and cruelly ordinary. No magic, no mysticism, nothing.

There's no background music, there are no fairies to accompany with. When I talked to her, there was nothing.

A conversation between us is much like how sand speak with the ocean. Beneath the shore is empty shallow. There's nothing in between.

And I thought there would be something else, much like how one gaze at stars in astonishment.

I'm in love no more. And I just want to fall asleep.

Now, there's nothing. I was in love. I really was. Or was it something else? At this point, I couldn't tell. Was it really love or just some silly infatuation resulting from my silly daydreams.

I find those who try their hardest to smile all the more beautiful. Even when life throws them down the gutter; even 

if things don't go their way; even if everything are impossibly against them, they still have that energy, that courage, that spark to smile.

One in all certain may look at it unfair. But to becoming, fairness is never the case. Nor being unfair is. It's just the way how things shall be.

Random Leaf #216

Though one has a say in it. One will gradually be.

Random Leaf #215

One never choose to be so. One just suddenly is.

Random Leaf #214

Much like the leaf to it's branches.

Random Leaf #213

So I distanced my self. Much like the sun to the moon.

Random Leaf #212

The paint on the wall l, though, through the age of time changed. The hue and luster it once showcased shyed away.

Random Leaf #211

The bed cover remain unchanged. The same with the pillow cases, and the blanket too.

Random Leaf #210

It hurts a bit even though it hurts a lot and all the while it doesn't.

Random Leaf #209

There is this certain pang it my hurt whenever keep telling myself I'm happy for her. It's the truth but at the same time I am lying.

Random Leaf #208

There's nothing I could offer but my lies.

Random Leaf #207

With a dash of courage and a bit of blushes, the ending changed.

Random Leaf #206

I want to stay by your side, tell you stories, listen to your stories. You falling asleep on my shoulder all the while I fall in love with you as if it was the first time seeing you.

Enjoy your company while we dine together, heck let's dine out even during the pandemic. We won't die in our dreams anyway.

Enjoy the moment as we watch the sun set across the horizon. Dreaming together in our dreams. Dreaming together while living our dreams.

Or simply, just hold your hand. As we run away from all those who would want to part us or just those who want arrest us for violating the pandemic protocols.

Random Leaf #205

I love you, I still do. But life happened. And just like that, for a few years that passed, life. I don't know how but I suddenly I woke up with great disbelief of love. Not those silly philosopher kind of disbelief.

Something spiritual or something like that, I don't know. I just lost faith in love. Don't get me wrong, I love you, but that's just it. Nothing more to that.

If you're wondering why I never, well, it's because of that. Should I even if that's just how I suddenly I became?

Random Leaf #204

I am a devil and she introduced me to the world as an angel.

Random Leaf #203

She stretched her wings and flew away. I never imagined it would feel this way. I know from the start though that with these ragged make believe wings of mine it would take me else where but not that far.

While her on the other hands, with wings like those. Who am I to be able to, you know, reach her; to fly with her by her side.

Random Leaf #202

I was here, he said. To which she replied: I'm still here.

Random Leaf #201

I wish it was my arms that have caught you.

Random Leaf #200

What if I was a few inches closer

Or even just a few centimeters less further?

What if I was a few minutes early

Or even just a few seconds not late?

Would I have saved you?

Or at least have said what I wanted to say after all this time?

Random Leaf #199

I am unhappy, said the man with strings

Random Leaf #198

Here I thought the lamb

have finally drowned

after jumping over the fence

and the sleepy farmer have

counted them.

Random Leaf #197

You aren't empty, neither are you half full. You're almost at the seams. I know you can't see or feel it but that's how everyone see it, feel it when its you.

Random Leaf #196

You so overfill anything with the soul you're bursting with.

Random Leaf #195

Is it a good thing, you might think. But do tell me, is it?

Random Leaf #194

You did not just overflow from before, you burst and broke your previous self.

Random Leaf #193

Have you not noticed it yet? The cup hold is bigger than before.

Random Leaf #192

I'm sorry. Nowadays, I'm not at my 100%.

Random Leaf #191 IG

It's always either you grow out of your cage or your cage outgrow you.

Random Leaf #190

You cannot grow inside a bottle.

Random Leaf #189

When you get to the point where in you have to keep reminding yourself you're in love with someone or with something that you do, I hate to break it to you. You no longer are.

Random Leaf #188

As if, nothing ever even happened.

Random Leaf #187

Sooner or later after death, you'd just gradually then fully accept it. Then you move on.

Random Leaf #186

It's just feel like a sting knowing yourself accepting something without your consent.

Random Leaf #185

That sinking feeling though. It doesn't hurt one bit.

Random Leaf #184

One who lives in many world surely have his or her fair share of deaths.

Random Leaf #183 IG

But it's actually not the first time.

Random Leaf #182

I can do something about it, I know I could.

Random Leaf #181

I hate it really. This sinking feeling.

Random Leaf #180

And there's a part of me that is accepting.

Random Leaf #179

I'm dying in one of the many worlds that I live in.

Or have I not become?

Random Leaf #174 IG

Even still, it beats.

Random Leaf #173 IG

All I know is that, all along, I kept lying to my heart.

Random Leaf #172 IG

My heart never actually stopped beating—from back then until now.

Random Leaf #171 IG

Will I still be the same?

Random Leaf #170 IG

With all the adventuring I’ve been doing, the books I kept—piled and collected—are now covered in dust.

Random Leaf #169 IG

I wonder how long it has been.

Sometimes in the most trivial, sometimes minute and at times it won't be clear unless you could see the bigger picture.

Sometimes in the most trivial of ways, sometimes minute—and at times, clarity won’t arrive until the bigger picture comes into view.

He was never ready. She was unprepared.

Random Leaf #159 IG

Though she didn't know he was about ready to die just to tell her the truth.

Though she didn’t know he was almost ready to die just to tell her the truth.

She was aware of all the tales he told her.

Random Leaf #157 IG

She knew of his lies.

Random Leaf #156 IG

But he knew it was eating him from the inside.

Random Leaf #155 IG

He could keep lying, just so in order to be with her.

Random Leaf #154 IG

Unknown to us, there are those who sees us heroes, creatures from other world, beings unreachable, or dreams like foreign entity.

No matter how trivial or small we may one day see ourselves of what we do or currently doing, to some we are no trivial matter; to some we are not small.

It's unfortunate that it is unknown to us. But it really is.

No, they won’t need lyrics. The world will let you understand them.

When the world speaks and you listen, the rest becomes music.

Random Leaf #146

It will burn you if you hold it from the wrong end.

Random Leaf #145

Before bravery, there is exists caution.

Random Leaf #144

They're afraid of fire. That is why they couldn't see.

Random Leaf #143

You just have to accept it.

Random Leaf #142

When you see beauty, there is this certainty, ugliness too exists.

Random Leaf #141

The invisible are what truly essential, so the fox says.

Random Leaf #140

The less and most trivial are easily visible.

Random Leaf #139

When, in fact, it is our duty to take notice, to pay heed.

Random Leaf #138

They are hardly noticed.

Random Leaf #137

They do not see miracles.

Random Leaf #136

Heroes will be heroes, no matter what world they are in.

Random Leaf #135

In our youth, the world is tasked to understand us. And as we grew older, we are assigned to be the world.

Random Leaf #134

They were all smiling. They know most of them won't make it back alive. But they're going home.

Random Leaf #133

One of the best way to kill yourself is to never live.

Random Leaf #132

And there will be heroes instead of saving others find themselves saved. It doesn't have to be a burning building that they're saved from. Nor does it have to be a train they're trying to outrun. They just get saved.

A lot of times, these heroes are saved by the most minute things. They aren't trivial, just very hard to see miracles that unbelievably happens more than once every now and then.

Random Leaf #131

What matters?

Random Leaf #130

We are trivial.

The silver lining between clouds are much the same to an ant as the lines between leaves among the branches.

The sea waves goodbye to the horizon.

You are, anyway, a hero born in a world where heroes are not needed.

Or at the very least, help souls save themselves.

You will save so many lives.

Random Leaf #124

A smile will be your epitome.

By then, I hope you'll die content.

Someday, your dreams will kill you.

It will come back to you. I swear in it.

It's different for any of us. Certainly paths may look the same, but stories told will be different.

Random Leaf #119

As for those who knows the ways and mentions they came back. They have not yet found the way.

Random Leaf #118

You're either lost or found your way. You never know where you're going, right from the start.

Random Leaf #117

There is actually no point in denying things.

Random Leaf #116

It's either you're in love or not. There's nothing in between.

Random Leaf #115

Unknowingly, you became a cage to a place you call home.

It became true.

And there were tears. Not in her eyes, but on someone else’s—born from despair.

“I am free,” she said to herself. Smiling, she went as she plunged to her death.

"What's the use of saving someone who's beyond saving?" the nurse asked.

The doctor paused and thought for while. He took a deep breath and sighed befire answering.

"At least, you tried."

Random Leaf #93

You're a hero. You became a god, momentarily, and tried to make a new world. Found out she wasn't there and what took years to experience, you've done so in just a moment.

All without color.

Random Leaf #92

And one day, you will tell her stories she won't believe. Because it never happened.

Random Leaf #91

It does not have to go beyond that. Deep down you know it's the right thing to do.

Random Leaf #90

Even still, she will love you just the same.

Random Leaf #89

Out of love, a world is destroyed, a god is killed and she gets to keep no memory of what just happened.

Random Leaf #88

Without you, this world is empty.

Random Leaf #87

Heroes wouldn't exist in a world they're unneeded.

Random Leaf #86

And then there are love, most truest of them all, some lovers refuse to materialize.

Random Leaf #85

There are tales that even loving mothers refuse to tell their beloved children.

Random Leaf #84

There are songs even the most talented of bards refuse to sing.

Random Leaf #83

There are journeys even seasoned adventurers refuse to undertake.

Random Leaf #82

That smile you force when all you wanted to do was cry.

Random Leaf #81

You smile but you don't. It's just an expression. It doesn't always reflect your face.

The wound will close and a scar will be there as a reminder.

Like pain from open wound, this feeling will just die on it its.

Random Leaf #78

She doesn't have to know.

A lot of times I get lost from the eyes surrounding her.

Random Leaf #76

Sometimes I get lost in those eyes of hers.

Those who are never in love are not ignorant of love.

Those who are always in love, have yet to find true love.

Would they come back or stay with you

Until you achieve yours?

Would you feel themselves ungrateful

If ever they do not?

Or would you just let it be,

it's your choice, anyway.
