For Thee

Never - in my imaginations, nor even in the loveliest dream I've always wished to dream - come the days that we are like what we are right now. Seemed like yesterday when the images of you were still as remote as the stars beyond the universe; as heaven for the unrepentant, heinous sinner. You were the oasis that my eyes could see but could never reach. You were the mirage for the rain-thirst desert of my heart. At least, that's how you were in my mind.

But you now manifest as the air that I can now breathe. And I am forever grateful, even if this may not last forever. For what's the best thing a dreamer can have, but to have his oneiric longing turns to reality?

Our story was too simple, but it's not of being simply in love. The promises to leave, the implosions of the hearts, the undulating emotions, the indifferent moments - all knitted together with love in a story no sentence could carry.

And for now, let's walk together. Let's wish for the eternal sunny day and starry night. If there will be an end for this road, or a merciless thunderstorm to end our days, let's hope that none of us will regret this. I will watch you silently. I will pray for you from afar that you'll be happy, to be one with he who loves you better than me.

But for now, let me just be drowned in the sweetness of your hours. Let me put my heart home, in you. In your love.

The firmest faith can be told in the fewest words. For as the turtles can't sing, yet they also fall in love, even for centuries. May this speak as a declaration - a modest one - and let our love speak louder than this.

Let me love you modestly.

Let me love you incessantly.
