Best Wishes: Hopeless Romantic (iii)
I remember the day we met the first time
You intrigued me right there from the start
A beautiful stranger with beautiful mind
I've never wanted to think much about it
Months passed since we knew each other
We never spoke but you were always listening
Or maybe it was just my petty delusion
You fascinated me even when you glared
After a break we met again
I thought you were smiling but I had no glasses
I wondered why I wanted your attention
I thought I didn't want to get hurt anymore
It turned out I was dead wrong
When we spoke I hope you're as elated as I was
I liked how you were so intent when I talked
We still didn't talk much, why was I so drawn to you?
You became the reason I strived harder
I learned from you to not settle for less
I loved it when you lowkey challenged me
We're not as fond, but maybe we had chemistry
The problem was, you drove me crazy
I liked it so much, it got too painful
I began thinking about you every single night
But somehow, you didn't seem to think about me
You have big dreams like the dreamer you are
You have a great life blessed with vibrant colors
Meanwhile I'm over here feeling so small
Maybe I would just distract you from your purpose
I did not want to be that girl, I never would
So I had no choice, but to keep it to myself
Only God knows how obsessed I was
Until the final day, you still had no idea
Sometimes I tried to keep in touch
With subtle shoutouts and random greetings
I knew it was nowhere near plausible
But the foolish me kept hoping for a miracle
I never knew today is the day I fear
Woke up to the news you're leaving Malaysia
To Australia you would fly, pursuing your dreams
Your cousin wrote 'We'll see each other in five years time'
I'm happy by the fact that you're starting so well
The thing is, I wasn't there to cheer you on
Seeing the photos of you and them at the airport
It that I'm missing you badly, and nobody knows
Maybe your text that night wasn't a prank
Maybe I should have kept the conversation going
At least I could offer you words of encouragement
At least you know there's someone who cares so much over here
Life happens and this is just the beginning
Dreams can do so much, but real life is out there
Nothing now can I give, but a silent prayer
God's grace be with you, and I love you
I pray that you'll always be safe and healthy
Vision you may broaden, success you may attain
All the blessings in life, you deserve them
No hard work that you do will bear fruitlessness
I'm looking forward to the day we'll meet again. Much loves.
