You & I, today.

Allow me to announce  it here

So that all that passby can hear

Then they will know, love does exist

So, their hopes to find love must persist

 

Our days turned into months into years, now ten

Each passing day, has me a lesson to enlighten

More of me, you, and of the world around

No longer can I talk of love that is blind

 

Once, I saw only your goodness

And refused to see any of your mess

With time, my vision has sharpened

I see more clearly all that has happened

The good and the not-so-good.

Still, my love for you remains.

 

I can tell your emotions from a distance

Bored, irritated, happy, whatever, in any instance

I can tell when the angel of goodness has smiled at you,

As I know when demons have fought with you

Transparent, is what you now are to me.

 

Lately, I have seen how you look at me,

Which means that you too, see through me,

It means I can never quite hide,

But that’s ok,  coz the world is eerily wide

I just want to be where you are.

 

A pleasant journey, it has been.

How else did time fly like so?

In between, we have much to say and show.

Look at those little three?

Who would have thought?

 

Pleasant journey yes, but…

In between we flexed our muscle

And caused ourselves pain

But we still smiled at the rain

God has been good.

 

Allow me to mention

That new little red dress,

You won’t believe what Lau said,

“Mum you’re so lucky”

And that you have fine taste

I want to ask a favour,

can I wear it daily? 

 

The other day,

I saw the  lone white strand on your head,

But you said I don’t pluck it dead,

That made me love you so much more,

For when I see my first wrinkle,

I should not fret,

we are in it together,

Aren’t we?
