Ode to You

The chance of knowing you was the last thing I expected. Back then, I was in the state of mending a wounded heart. You have been around for quite some time but I have never felt your existence until you made your first move – by sending me an e-mail of Hello. Unwillingly, I sent my reply of Hi. You asked my number and I gave it… and yes, we exchanged messages till the wee hours of the morning, when we’re both supposed to have slept in preparation of our day’s work. At first, I was kinda annoyed, but eventually, I liked your openness and your bravery to tell me all things which I should not at all be aware of… Unconsciously, I also have shared some info I have kept a secret for quite some time. With your help, I regained my energies.

Admittedly, it isn’t a good thing to divert all my angst on you but purposely I did it, simply because your presence has helped me in my healing process. You have inspired me to re-focus my attention to my work, my family, my life and yes, to YOU… and you, alone. My days always start with you offering a share on your boring breakfast (as your office’s canteen offer the same set of menu day-by-day). My nights end with you sending your “Good Night, Sleep Tight” more than a hundred times. And my voyage to dreamland will not be complete without your winsome smile embedded on my subconscious. Until one fine day upon waking up, I realized that you have been a part of my system, a sure delight to my daily living. That morning, I recognized the same exciting feeling… I knew I’m in love again.
