Repetition

There are days when I feel too much and all 
I wanted to do was to let some of it out, 
yet words fail me, and I can't even
arrange them into coherent thoughts.
Like today, 
when all I can feel is this lingering absence, 
where I thought I can feel your arms wrapped around me,
and your lips pressed tenderly against my hair.
Is it too simple for me to say that I just miss you?
If I keep on repeating it again and again and again,
would it be just like as they say?
That if I keep on repeating the words, it loses its meaning?
That somehow it would take away some of the ache?
Because truth be told, my hands already ache
from repeatedly typing out the words with your name on it.
My lips are already numb from endlessly shouting it out,
hoping that you can hear it.
Yet, the ache still lingers.
Could it be that you mean so much more than these words could ever be?





*** We had the privilege to watch him (Phil Kaye) and Sarah Kay perform live a couple of days ago and I have to say, it's an experience worth repeating again and again. Seriously, tears won't stop from pouring out of my eyes when he performed this particular piece. This one will always have a special spot in my heart no matter how many times I've seen it. ;)
