• It is still October

    But the clock is ticking as fast as

    My breath leaves the body

    The fine grains of time slip through my fingers as I go along in life

    As I scrape bits of memories I tried to list

    Every passing day



    There are too many smiles to count

    Innocent ones

    From faces that looks up to you in awe

    Meaningful ones

    From the people who cares about you the most

    Whom takes pride in your achievement

    Concern upon your regress



    There are too many hugs to embrace

    That I always try to drench myself in

    From friendships that occurs in the strangest places

    To fulfill my crave for touch

    Or just as a mere expression of

    I love you

    I’m always here for you



    There is too much laughter to enjoy

    Upon the playfulness of kids

    Upon inside jokes that utters no obvious sense

    Except to you and your best friends

    Until you lose your mind to the endorphins that rushes through your veins

    And you question where it came from in the first place



    How can I leave this island

    Without carrying these bliss?

    Is there a way to bottle up these memories?

    To preserve it, treasure it

    Keep it locked in a golden chest

    Where every bit will remain intact

    So we can live it

    Relive it

    And live it again
