Diary of A Goodbye Girl: Protagonist

I thought you are just a daydream
A character that I once created on my head
many years ago

Constructed by the mind, sculpted by my heart
A knight and shining armor of my untold stories
Where pen and paper are my only witnesses

Then you are there standing right in front of me,
An exact persona of the person I'm in search of
But what I can only do is stare...

There might be YOU and ME
but never it will be WE...

Diary of a Goodbye Girl: Photograph in my Mind

In the corner of the room
Saw your image in black and white
A picture of silence
Two souls, stranger to each other

Dark skies and stormy nights
I'm a princess with a hollow heart
You came and painted yellow and green 
Started everything with hello and a laugh

You shared  your blues and reds
Suddenly the corner is dyed with rainbow 
colored memories 
For which I wish will last forever 

You tinted my inspiration of gold
Ignited the passion to live
Everyday is a treasure of images, forms and dreams

Yet season needs to change
As spring goes, so do you

My heart is now covered in ice
Colored images, now black and white
All alone in the corner of the room
Lingering your photograph in my mind.
