I’m not used to being loved. I wouldn’t know what to do.















We didn't see each other for a week; it seems so long; feeling is still so strong ; i no longer feel comfortable at your place; so you came to mine; i fell asleep ; you brought me bunny and champagne; surprise me with door bell; you said you would text; you didn't ; i had class the next day so we didn't get to have breakfast but we made love whole night instead ; miss you so very much; you slept well; we didn't chat much; too busy holding on to each other; i always wee bit of shy and still anxiously long for you; you sent me another surprise after you drop your kid; such passionate encounter ; how could i possibly ever let you go ; you made it so so hard; i was taken aback but still like your sudden presence ; your gentle gesture by closing the door; lowing off the tea candle; switch off the light guessing which switch it was; we talk about swimming, our trip, books; how to get sick and get rid of each other; we will run out of things to say soon; because we dont have anything mundane and boring to talk about; I really fall head over heels for you; I hope you know that; but actually on the contrary - I HOPE YOU DO NOT KNOW THAT, NOT AT ALL.

You can look at a painting for a whole week and then never think about it again. You can also look at a painting for a second and think about it for the rest of your life.




















i just really wanted to see you and have a quiet dinner; we dont have to talk all the time; we dont have to pull everything out of the thin air and talk about it; sometimes even silence i enjoy; i spoke a little bit about my work; just one line mentioning about a project that im working on and then all of the sudden you went all philosophical on me; i know at that moment i couldn't stay with you tonight; that was such a turn off; i know you have many thoughts; so what? sometimes all we need is just some quiet time; someone to listen; hold your hand and tell you; take it easy; everything; i mean literally everything will be just fine; even though we are living a hamster life; really; i mean it..

Love is needing someone. Love is putting up with someone’s bad qualities because they somehow complete you.













finally i showed you my home; you are very proud of me; can i come and sleep here sometimes?; if you want; i replied; you scan around my place and said you like it; you spotted a book old man in love; you asked what is that about i said it is exactly about what the title says is all about; you smile; is that me? i didn't say; i am me; i am not everyone else; which means i get to do this with you where the rest do not; i understand; is the feeling subsiding? you said you sometimes has a vague memory of one of our photos; you even tell me my expression looks the same; people dont change so much; i guess; even after a long time; you are so proud of me; walking from 28 to 38; that is a long time; and why cant we be together; it's all too late now; you feel agitated and restless if you dont see me for a week; you thought i am seeing that guy; but what you didn't know is there's never a guy; there is only you; i secretly feel happy; but i dont want to reveal the truth; if you didn't follow me back tonight; insisting; i dont know when will i show you my place; funny how you thought if you let me go alone i will never come back; i will give you excuse; but the truth is i wont; i really wont; i will always come back; always and that you are right; you are you; you are not everybody else.

Only the brave and the broken are kind in this world.














i am still concern; about you and her; you told me all about it; but it's no big problem; it's an universal problem for all couple; im not worry; maybe i not that influential enough; but i do want you to stop and then i want to have you again; with me you always want to be the best; you said you dont see any other girl other than me; you said you are in love with me more than anyone else; you said one week not seeing me is too much; you like the way we are together in this very secretive way; i always long for you; always; you said i underestimate myself too much; if i say i am no good then why would you pick me at the first place; it makes sense; anyway, i just let you talk away; about expectation; about not asking someone to change; about love; about loving enough; about different phases in love and life; you say you have to have me and you need to see me and then you needed all this; but to me you only need it  if you make yourself need it; otherwise i am just another passing by; surely; just try a little tenderness and you will see; anyway; time is always too short for us; too damn short.

You can destroy your now by worrying about tomorrow.




















he walked out; but another him walks in; i guess what i did not tell you is; i never really stop looking; not at all.

You are so brave and quiet I forget you are suffering.



















i was doing my dissertation at home; we were texting; i thought you were working far away in KL; in your office; you totally took me by surprise; right until i saw you park and walk into that Starbucks; i couldn't believe my eyes; it feels so unreal; there and then i had you in my arms; still in shock; you said you thought about it for days to give me a surprise; maybe drop something at my front door; thinking about the best gift; something not too big or small; or afraid someone may take it away; all the things that i would also rather you didn't do; but you are right here in front of me; 4 hours drive in total; i said you are silly but deep down i am happy; how can i not be; i was telling you this surprise will be so hard to beat; but let's not make this whole surprise thing into a competition; must you win? until now im biased though; i still like you so much; i brought you to another place as Starbucks was just too crowded; i was speechless and shock; just too happy to see you; you said you couldn't wait for any longer; not seeing each other for two weeks is just long; that you thought i might forget you; that's kind of impossible at this point; we promised we will see each other once we get back to the city from both our trip; that is a two weeks gap; it is too long; but i will never say it; i'm weak and too vulnerable to admit my love for you; who am i to you; i am still afraid; you were telling me about quarrel between your wife and you which i take it is normal for couple, especially a 25 year old couple and that there was this article you read about how to handle expectation; you did it gently; you said you did it right; in the end your partner must know it too; otherwise i guess expectation will just be overflow; because what i hear you say is from her side there will always be this unsatisfied expectation; maybe when we are together for 25 years the same thing will happen to us; i hope if the time comes i will still tell you gently what i want you to do for  me without having you to guess what is on my mind; we want us to always constantly tell each other things; always; i showed you my family photo and was telling you while it looks like a big happy family on the outside, on the inside it is slowly broken into small bit and pieces; in the end the value we hold will forever be different and i am just happily agree to disagree with you; you always say you wont push me to share if i want to; somehow whenever you said that i want to tell you more; simply because i really want to; i reluctant to do so maybe just because the more i tell you the more you are going to know me the harder it is for me to let go in the end; like how the book end : Holden’s final statement—“Don’t tell anybody anything. If you do, you start missing everybody”; here i am telling you all these stories and in the end makes me miss you more and more; i begin to; i really do and i begin to love you too; i hope that is a good thing; really really good thing.

There are all kinds of love in the world, but never the same love twice.














you reschedule our Starbucks date because you have company function; i understand it and make it easy for you to maneuver; i want you to love me for it; fall for me deeper for it; we decided to meet again and i make time for you; so that we were able to be together longer; a little traffic jam; you arrived still on time; you brought muesli, sandwich, coffee, the usual, plus a little surprise that we often talk about; marshmallow; i wish i could keep you; i cant help to feel there's always a kind of sadness in the air between us; we listening to our music and you compliment it that i have good taste; we had grape, playing; sharing; eating nuts in bed; then you insisted to get up and get me muesli because you say you wanted to; i enjoy the sandwich you bring and you say you like me for that; you always type the word in full and i use abbreviation; we talking about concert; random things; Valentine's Day; being vulnerable; acceptance; rejection; you had a way to say thing that i will never get mad with you; maybe i am bias; maybe when we are together long enough i will start to feel annoy with you; but at this moment i feel none of that; absolutely zero; i ask about your new move; you are this guy that always seek security; hardly change or shake the status quo; because things are often good enough for you; nevertheless still wee bit of insecurity; wanting to demand but chose not to; i feel you are entitle to; but if you feel that you are doing the right thing; i will not ask more and i will give you my full support; you also want to feel you have a place in the society; a somebody; people who look up to you; admire you; like you; i couldn't care less; maybe i do but just with people i close to or in love with; i love you; i fall for you so deep and i dont know which direction i am heading and maybe there is no direction; you will never be mine; i can always hope we continue to meet each other until we dont; until whatever happens; until we really need to say goodbye; you mention him again; for no reason; but somehow he is in your head; i told you i am over him; i told you all what he told me; that all was bullshit and a waste of my time; you told me i did the right thing; you also said as long as i still have emotion it will be hard; it will take time but this too shall pass; i know it; this time is different; this time i am so over it; but somehow with you; it is just always so intense that i am so into you; so much; so deep; so hurtful; so unreal; but it also so so good. i love you, always and always; thank you for making my day once more and i like how you used a bigger mug simply because the mug could fit 3 cups of coffee and that i wanted to drink more; to me these little things count; so count.

I do not think I’m easy to define. I have a wandering mind. And I’m not anything that you think I am.




















i do not know is it because i am not living with you for 25 years and that i do not need to figure out how to pay bills; and that i do not need to talk to you about which diaper to buy; which school our kids should go to; what kind of thing we should stock up; which travel destination should we pick; our kids problem; the house problem; the money problem; what house we should build; what stuff we should get; which restaurant we should go; if we need to deal with each other asking all that questions 24-7 and times that to double triple fold like way beyond our imagination; will we still be happy together and have good sex and talk as good as we are now; what if reality kicks in; what then; i thought about it; i do love you now; but when will love ever be enough, when?

but what i know it; i really really love you now; even if its hurt.

I’ve always had a terrible weakness for beautiful but sad things.


i dont know why it is just so easy to be with you; maybe its because we know each other too short; maybe simply because we are still too nice to each other; it could be; its possible; but feeling is feeling right? you cant deny; i met him yesterday; we still threading carefully in each other world; you were not asking about him at all; not until i was ready to share it with you; you feel obligated to text me because you know i am seeing him; and you say i should tell you if i feel like telling you not because i am thinking of you hence doing it for you; but you should know if anything that i do is because i want you to know; simply that; besides the meeting was totally unfruitful and i was quite clear about my feeling to move on; i somehow feel pity and sympathetic towards him and i thought i will have one last shot in life to make something happen; clearly that should not be my reason; and i have so clear a feeling for you and that i can not help to compare you both; when i make it sounds like a task, job, chore without any passion and emotion in it; im pretty much screw; then again you ask me to date guys around here; it's easy for you when you are the one who's married; i told you i  know someone who is nice and that is you but you married and that makes me sad; you said you would  married me; at least you will thought about it and that you ask me if i am willing to go there with you; i told you i would; it's the circumstances; but i know you love her; i have nothing more to say; i dont want to compare anymore; not in that way; i dont know what is worse; a guy that cant offer me a commitment or a guy that can offer but cant deliver; both suck in a big way; big big way; anyway in the end it will be my decision; you said that you will only stop because i dont want to; it will be be because you do want to; you touch me in so many ways that you may never know; with that i say thank you.
