DANYA
The Singaporienne: A Novel

Was it you who spoke the words that things would happen but not to me
Oh things are gonna happen naturally
Oh taking your advice I'm looking on the bright side
And balancing the whole thing
But often times those words get tangled up in lines
And the bright lights turn to night
Until the dawn it brings
Another day to sing about the magic that was you and me

11:25 PM
sometimes i wish,
but pull back straight after,
probably because im scared
that id get my hopes up too high.

sometimes i find it hard,
and id love for you to listen,
and id do anything
to spend days watching time.

spend days swinging,
and spend days dazed,
at the moon.
and the passing clouds.

id talk to them,
about my day,
and just about anything
and everything.

now i just wish,
to focus and keep strength,
for those who lead me down,
and for those who push me down.

for the few who keep me up,
and ignite my diminishing flame,
id cherish till the end,
and love.

for love keeps us going,
love pushes our limits,
love almost never fails.
