"THE WARRIOR" I felt like you couldn't see me when you slept last night in my bed. Though I knew the moon in its new phase, was staring down on my deferred behavior. I wasn't drunk. I wasn't decoyed myself to regret everything I knew. It was all of me. So complete; beautiful; well-equiped, And yet, very weak. It was all of me drifting by your side; Feeling like a ghost shimmering beneath you. But I was afraid. If only God could have helped me. It was no one in favored of me. I was all alone against heaven. Yes, for it was temptation. Yes, for it was real and free; for your skin was poisoning me. Very intoxicating. Like I was almost evaporated by flesh and desire. I looked at you dead. Ofcourse, temporarily dead. Like the night have suspended your senses. And like the cold air was blocking your consciousness. But again, I was afraid. If only God could have helped me. I was so frailed in my battle. Like I could almost lost. Afterwhile, something I have found. It was started in my heart. The greatest armor in me have defeated it all. At last I knew how powerfull it is. I was afraid of losing you, oh dear! I was afraid of the risk I knew right from the very beginning. I wasn't sure but it might be. It was friendship. It was friendship. It was friendship. I was always afraid of losing it. Not even once or twice. I have to keep the whole of it. Not even a single or a piece. At the end of that night, the scent of the dawn awakened you. Your innocence have never been changed. You looked more fresh, more natural and so was the dawn-break. But I thought I've ended my last war against myself, When you said... "why didn't you..."
