the vast grey.

My white is your black. It is also the same if we flip the coin; my black is your white. Then and there, we create grey. In the grey we lost ourselves and created an infinite number of wars. Each of it drove us apart like logic shoved away god. And I begin to believe that the fights we’re giving to keep us close are futile to the enormous force of the grey. On the other hand, we both are aware that the grey is not the enemy. Where did we go wrong?

Is it because we held our colors too dearly?
Are we too arrogant to admit that the grey exists solely for us?
Why can’t we just surrender to the grey?

I recite those questions every single day until I lost my count without any of it answered. Like medicine, I do it twice a day; once I got up, and the second before I go to bed. Sadly, this medicine got me even sicker. I need you in this mess we gave birth to. I knew from the very beginning that you are my medicine. But I’ve cut myself out of reach because I am afraid of those questions. I am afraid that they would drag me to the pit of cowardice even further. It is beyond dark. I couldn’t see any white in it. Even the pit is only an idea, despair never failed to visit me whenever I look at the bottom of it. I am afraid one day there won’t be any white left in me to match up with your black. I am afraid if I got consumed by black, I would forgot my way back to you. I am afraid to lose you.

And there is this law of white and black thingy. So I am also aware that if I do nothing, I would lose you for real. By that thought, another question I haven’t figured out popped to my head; what can I do? 

It might be easy without the grey. Too bad, it is there, ready to pull us apart in every chance we deliver our colors to its feet. When you’re black, should I be black to avoid grey? You wouldn’t want that. So do i. You are gorgeous as you are. But not to forget the fact that  it would be lovely to live in the grey. Nonetheless, grey is in between. Not many could successfully live in it. I wish we could despite the fact of the infinite limbo it held. I wish one day we could see the grey as our ally. Again, what can I do?

And in the darkness of the night sky I am staring now, I addressed the question for the void in between us to answer. We are lost in our own color. I am losing you.

the vast grey.

My Universe.

My time halts, shrinks and stretches simultaneously when she’s not near. I wonder when will it end? But when the time isn’t fixed, an eternity seems bearable. Now my only problem is to survive the agony I’m feeling. I miss her so very much until a single second ticks, it slices a big portion of my life. When will she comes back isn’t the right question to ask; how could she do this to me sounds like a good start to ask around.

So I begin my journey to my past. Reenacting every situation happened between us. Days change into weeks and I fail to find a single reason why. In that decaying memories, none of the fights matter. I fall in love all over again with her.

I just wish I could share what I’m feeling with her instead of let it slowly evaporates into nothingness. I wonder what she’s doing right now. But without a single way to reach her i’m addressing my wondering thoughts to the star as I lay on my rooftop. This routine happens everyday until I become too fond to think of her while staring at the stars without having a plan. I should’ve had, but I forgot how to start.

She was the center of my universe. And now that I’ve lost her, I am floating towards nothingness. Scary and fascinating at the same time. I wonder how will I survive this event with a few left in me. Perhaps I could never come back alive. Oh that would be fine. I have no plan of surviving the crash when she pulls me into her gravity after all. I fall too deep in love with a universe too big for me.

My Universe.
