Belief

n. The mental act, condition, or habit of placing trust or confidence in another

 I don’t believe in miracles,
The shiny tales of wonder,
Eluding all of physics and nature.

 I don’t believe in miracles,
The glorious stories of sudden joy 
Imparted by a stroke of chance.

 And yet, each moment, I am with you 
I desperately wait for a wonder 
Defying the laws of existence

 I don’t believe in miracles
But looking at you, so far from me, 
I wish that I did.

      Thank you. It is a beautiful (if bittersweet) feeling to be in this situation.

Education

Deliration

n. Madness; aberration I need to stop falling in love  Every single time you text, email or call me Because I know that, soon, you'll crush Those very same butterflies that you made flutter I need to stop falling in love With every smile you smile at me Because, though not as loud as actions, Your words still cut deep through my heart I need to stop falling in love With the silvery sound of your voice   Because, who even knows When, if ever, will I hear it again I need to stop falling in love  Weaving dreams of a future that will never be I need to stop falling Before I fall too deep
