April 18: Too Chill to Be Burned

The heat went full demon mode,
But I decided, why not bake myself like a potato? 
Skip the fan and nap on the floor like a soggy pancake.

I celebrated my survival with orange juice in one hand,
ice cream in the other.

I live without AC in my room,
and honestly, I don’t mind.
Turns out, I’m a lot cooler when things are on fire.

April 19: When You Speak, I Listen Differently

Just like when you speak in English
and laugh at every mispronunciation,
even when you're unsure
but stay open-minded.

Why do I listen this way to you, and not others?

What I’m asking
isn’t really a question.
It’s a confession
with a shy smile.

Beneath your window,
a lover hums;
every note understood by you,
and you alone.

It’s a quiet, secret love,
like the one in Romeo and Juliet,
where love is shown, not said. ✍️
