Wouldn’t Go

Let this water I drink

Be a tsunami in my stomach,

But I wouldn’t go.

Let this air I breathe in

Be a hurricane in my lungs,

But I wouldn’t go.

Let all the bitter feelings you gave me

Be an earthquake in my heart,

But I wouldn’t go.

Surely, I would stay

’Cause I have a love

Brighter than lightning.

No matter how you would push me away,

My love will pull you back someday

As strong as gravity.

CRAZINESS

I remember you like
