I didn’t mean to lie to your mum. The words had come out without much thought going into them. I wanted the words to be true. And maybe for a time, they were. But not when they had left my mouth. As the words escaped, something in my head clicked. It was an immediate responseContinue reading “I Lied To Your Mum”

A Milk Carton Is All It Is
This morning, I unwittingly stumbled across an old memoir of mine. It was somewhat of an absurd attachment, yet it still held considerable significance in my eyes. Looking at it stirred a range of feelings within me. I remember the warmth, the tongue-in-cheek humour, and the thoughtfulness this milk carton once conveyed. You heard right.Continue reading “A Milk Carton Is All It Is”
I Thought I Was Crazy
This morning, memories of a bygone era popped up on my phone: a notification from Daylio. It read: New Memories 1 year ago A year. Only a year, yet it yawns like a chasm between then and now. The photo, him. A little ways off in the distance, walking down the track. We had goneContinue reading “I Thought I Was Crazy”
Half Moon
As I cast my eyes on the sky, searching for that soft and familiar glow of the moon, I sighed a breath of relief. I fondly recalled feelings of marvel in my admiration of the stars. Like a small heartbeat of hope, my chest longed for the same physical nostalgia of dreaming about the future…Continue reading “Half Moon”
Soup Is a Labour of Love
I love soup. I love purées, creams, and bisques. But most of all, to me, nothing surpasses the humble soup broth. They’re light, rich in flavour, and deeply comforting. When done right, of course. There’s a certain satisfaction I find in a well-made, clear broth. And they’re most definitely a labour of love. Just lastContinue reading “Soup Is a Labour of Love”
Star-bound Lovers
The clock ticks ever so slowly as it approaches tomorrow. In this moment, time has stalled. We’ve been transported into our own world as ‘Parisian Lovers’, separated from the canonical timeline, and while we’re here, dancing with you is all I would like to do. After all, midnight approaches and we will have to say ourContinue reading “Star-bound Lovers”
Did I Ever Mean Anything to You
Yesterday, two people I love got married. She was a girl I met just after I finished high school, and he was someone I met during my first year of university. I met each of them in different places for different reasons, so it was odd to hear that they had connected many years later.Continue reading “Did I Ever Mean Anything to You”
Lover Girl
We’ve travelled another year around the sun, and now we’re here. It’s Valentine’s Day. Just another day of bittersweet feelings. Seeing love and loving that love for others, but painfully remembering that you don’t have it. Funnily enough, you had someone to share life with last year, yet today is the second Valentine’s Day inContinue reading “Lover Girl”
First
It’s a little strange reflecting on firsts, When thinking about lost seconds, With the boy that came before the third. My mind goes through the broken promises; The unrealised dreams, big and small; And the small lies that turned into great whites. I wish I could say the secrets weren’t a first—That they didn’t turnContinue reading “First”
Words I Didn’t Want To Hear
I was emotionally attached to her. Those were the words I didn’t want to hear. If I had known an admission like that was coming, would I have blocked my ears? Tears welled up in my eyes and streaked down my face hearing those words. I was justifiably angry and deeply grieved. I went intoContinue reading “Words I Didn’t Want To Hear”
