I have always seemed to be attracting the negative feelings of fear, as life continuously guts me with difficulties that leave me breathless. The productivity which I always have to catch, to continue working hard, until my hair grays and my bones sway.
If that productivity ends— well, then I have no purpose.

How will I ever truly escape the pressure of the sea, without drowning?

That Café, would be the place that I did not need to suppress any of my emotions. Whether, it was homesickness or unhappiness with the predicament I may be in. I would read, journal random thoughts or simply drink an iced coffee— doing nothing.
That place was just so... tranquil.
Yet, I seemed to believe that even the most tranquil places are not able to mimic the naivety that had been plentiful within me— before I met him.
Innocent Eyes, Innocent ME.

LIKE a mirage, too good to be true, I had seen this man who was truly captivating, with his eccentric features and his eminent radiation of raw power and confidence that it had left me breathless.
Though he was a definite hallucination, I was still enthralled by his beauty.
His sharp jawline, his long unruly dark hair, his height which was quite frankly, gargantuan as he was towering over me even though I was of a modest height— being five foot eight.
