a letter to housemate

for one split second, when we saw into each other eyes

i almost forgot where we're at

from those tired hazel-blue eyes, came a flashback

a person whom i fell in love with three years ago


a person who was into me and really interested in what i said

someone who radiated positive vibes and made silly jokes

who understood people deeply, and not easily grumpy

a very tall person that liked to swing me around when i arrived


you used to pull out my feminine energy

somehow i let my guard down, felt safe and relaxed around you

you made me felt liberated, respected, cherished.

even suddenly i wanted to wear floral dresses and heels


i reconsidered about my view on marriage.

because i met you.


so how did we end up here?

conversations became fights

life updates became tasks

dates became silence on the sofa


i don't feel wanted anymore

you stopped making me feel like a goddess

you stopped being the safe place you once were.


and all the things you said, ones you said you didn't mean

all the things you did, ones you said you wouldn't do 

they live free in my head, building piles of disappointment

one by one, layer by layer, they strip away my love for us


slowly, i'm fading away...


somewhere along the way, we have no mutual interests.

we view every single thing with disagreements

a simple conflict became a political debate

and our culture gap is now even further from closing up


the luxury feels like a glorified jail

the dog became a bargaining chip

and the house in where we supposed to live in harmony

became tolls of contributions


from the room next door, i'm writing my heart loud

i miss you, but no longer like that

we tried again, but it did not work out

we realize, we're growing apart


and so we know, there's only one thing left to do.
