​
Hanoi and then some..
​
I remember Hanoi bustling and beautiful
And the sounds of Tokyo that were so soft and serene
That moment she kissed me in Bali that still feels like a dream
A market in Kyoto a meal in Spain
That one very long walk in the Japanese rain
Each and every moment carved into my brain
I am unable to forget and that is exactly what keeps me sane
​​
Her Smile
​
Her beauty was always carried in her smile reflected in her eyes
Soft subtle and wise
The kind of beauty that reminds you of the Hope in the morning sunrise
​
​
Thrasher
​
Sundays at Thrasher were always the same
Me and you living next door to the Hollywood fame
Puzzles and memories of foreign places
Kisses in the darkness and those little alien faces
I could live a thousand times and never replace those memories in my mind
​​​
​​​​
Family
​
I didn't fall in love with just you
I fell in love with your family too
And although losing you broke my heart
Losing all of you tore it apart
You never know how much people can mean
Until they are gone and nothing but a dream
Your moms silly laugh
Your dads stories of the past
Your brothers skeptic grin
Each and every one became my friend
I hope one day we can get back to Us
To them
To something new
And I can be back in a room with all of you
​
​​​
Fuji
How far we traveled just to reach the sun
The top of a mountain I never thought could be done
You held my hand through every street
Looked at me softly when I stumbled on my feet
Fuji became our place where peace was created in a name
And it lives on my body as a reminder of the pain
KTOWN
Outside on the street I could hear the city shuffling its feet
Loud cars and crazy sounds
The never ending soundtrack of Ktown
Hope outside my window
And love inside my room
But I always felt alone
Except when Fuji and I would wait for you to come home
Then your smile and your laugh would fill my heart
And all was well till the next time we were apart ​​​
​
​​​​​
Long Noodle
Long noodle long life
Cold dishes and bright lights
Hand pays and chop chop
Saturdays in the mini without the top
Long walks
Short hikes
That one endless ride on those fucking beach bikes
Our life was my favorite song
And it lives on repeat now that your gone
​​
Meet me there
​
I would trade the world to hold your hand one more time
I would give everything up to just make you mine
I cannot let go of what never was
I cannot forget what never will be
The memories of hope are what haunt me
Please come back to the place we began
Meet me on the street lets create a new plan
Where dreams finally come true
And in the end there is only me and you
​​​​​
Silence
​
The most painful part is the silence
The words never said
The messages left on read
Feeling like a stranger to the other part of your soul
It’s more painful than anything
And it forever takes its toll
We spoke everyday for what felt like a lifetime
Now I don’t even know if you will return a message of mine
​
​
The Sun
​
You are the sun that wakes the world
A fire that breathes life into my soul
Each glance from you is dawn breaking
Each word a golden ray of warmth
And yet you are the moon as well
Quiet mysterious pulling at my tides
Your beauty isn’t just seen it’s felt
A silver glow that softens the dark
The sun burns fierce the moon soothes slow
But you my love are both
The fire that consumes me
And the calm that saves me
Even if the sun ceased to rise
And the moon faded from the sky
I would still follow your light
For you are my day my night my forever
​
​​​​​
Jagged Parts
​
I fell in love with the jagged parts of your heart
Not just the beauty though you are a work of art
To love someone for their looks alone is trite
But it’s your spirit that keeps me up at night
It’s the way you walk too fast
Chasing the people in front of you just to pass
The sass and suspicion that flicker and flare
A spark in your gaze that says "Im aware"
The way you handle life’s little demands
A call to Amex, control in your hands
Your voice with the operator calm but commanding
A balance of grace and very much a touch of demanding
I love every part of you sharp and divine
The prickles, the edges even the moments that don't shine
Not just for beauty but for all that is true
A love made up of every single thing about you​​​
​
​​​​​​​​​​
Just say
​
Just say Fuji
So I can come home
Just one text just one word
I will drive through the night as soon as its heard
I will come to you no matter how far
Just say Fuji and i will get in the car
Just say Fuji so we can begin again
I miss you, I miss my best friend
How can I breathe without you near
Just say Fuji is all i want to hear
Just one text just one word
Just say Fuji
​
​
Goodbye
​
This pain never leaves
It never ends
The fear never fades
It will never subside
I only have this regret
That consumes me about our goodbye
​​​​​
​​​​
Traces
Your shadow lingers in the light
A glance a breath the edge of night
This pain has hardened what we knew
Yet every whisper leads to you
So many photos untouched by time a reminder of what is no longer mine
I reach for what I cannot see
The ghost of us still haunting me​​​​​
​
​​
Our House
​
I stood in the wreckage a house I destroyed
The silence between us an aching void
My mind was a tempest a storm in my head
and I pushed you away when I needed you instead
Your heart bore the burden your tears fell like rain
yet I gave you no shelter just more of my pain
Now I’m rebuilding to be a man I can face
trying to fill this hollowed out space
I see you in dreams a light in the haze
guiding me softly through dark endless days
I don’t seek forgiveness until I am whole
but I carry the hope you can still see my soul
If time mends the pieces of all that we lack
I’ll fight every shadow to win you back​​​​​​
​​​​
The Maze Within
A tangled maze where chaos hums
Thoughts collide the silence drums
A weightless dread a heavy stone
A thousand voices yet alone
Through shadows thick a glimmer shows
A thread of hope that softly glows
Though paths may twist and walls may bend
The maze has doors and minds can mend
​​
Gravity ​
​
I knew you once when the world felt whole
When your presence was the gravity
That held everything steady
Even in the wildest storms
Your voice lingered not in echoes
But in the silence that followed
A reminder that some sounds
Never truly fade
You were the rhythm I didn’t realize I was moving to
The light that shaped the shadows around me
And when you pulled away the world remained
But it was quieter smaller less alive
Now, I search for you in every face
In the fleeting moments when the air feels familiar
In the pull of an unseen thread
That insists we are not yet finished
Maybe time will turn back on itself
Or the stars will conspire to realign
And one day I’ll find you again
Not as a stranger
But as a part of me I’ve always known
​
Ghost ​
​​
There is an ache where you once stood
A hollow carved so deep
The weight of it presses my chest
Even in my sleep
I move through days like a ghost
Carrying your absence beside me
Fingers reaching for what isn’t there
Yet still feels so near, so alive
The world is the same
But it’s not it can’t be
Every sunrise feels colder
Every night stretches endlessly
I miss the way your voice
Could pull the edges of the world together
The way your laughter
Turned the mundane into something more
If I could, I’d undo it all
The silence, the distance, the loss
I’d trade every piece of myself
To feel your heartbeat near mine again
For you are not just someone I loved
You are the piece of me I can’t replace
The part that makes me whole
The part that makes me real
Come back please
Even if only for a moment
Even if only in my dreams
​​​
​
Ceaseless Pain
​
I miss you like the moonless sea
A tide lost to eternity
Each breath a wound each thought a cry
As my soul breaks and my heart must die
Your absence cuts a ceaseless pain
A shadowed echo endless rain
What is a heart that cannot beat
A hollow shell at sorrow's feet
I miss you like the earth the rain
Parched and brittle bound by pain
Forever lost in this silent cry
Where my soul breaks and my heart must die​
​
​
Find you again
​
We met as stars in a boundless sky
Two wandering souls drawn eye to eye
The world stood still as hearts aligned
A love so deep a bond divine
Through fleeting days and endless nights
We built a world of shared delights
But time grew cruel and love gave way
To broken dreams and skies of gray
Now I walk alone through silent air
Tracing the echoes of you there
Though we are lost I hold the thread
A fragile hope where love once led
Someday our paths may cross anew
Two hearts reborn in a brighter hue
For soul mates part but never stray
I’ll find you again one day
​​​
A Quiet Plea
​
If time could yield if fate could pause
I’d rewrite all the broken laws
Undo the moments I let slip by
The silent truths the unanswered why
I offer no grand speech no plea
Only the weight of what could be
This love though fractured still holds tight
A quiet ember in the night
I’d trade my pride my every word
To let the depths of me be heard
No more illusions no disguise
Just the raw truth behind my eyes
If you believe I’ll find the way
To build again what slipped away
No promise perfect only this
A love reborn a chance a wish
​
​
Michelle
​
She was what was always missing
I see only forever in her eyes
Hear only hope in her words
The purest form of perfection created from thin air
Like finding magic in a world where there is none anywhere
It was as simple as saying yes to meeting for coffee on a beverly hills street
To having that first kiss after waiting so long to meet
Magic for me is being under your spell
It's a simple a saying the words I love you Michelle
How flawed of a man I once was
Till I found you to show me who i truly could be
And each time you read this I want you to remember how much you mean to me
