Forever

I could see you from outside
eyes glued to the screen
earphones hanging from your ears
sitting alone in your own little world.
Then you glanced swiftly
to where I was standing with my friend
Ohh, he's a Malay guy.
Thank you Allah, we were at the right place.

I was shabby,
puffy eyes, dry face
'and here I am, chatting with someone who probably doesn't even talk to a shabby stranger'.
But you were so interestingly an avid listener
I entertained you with my stories
You never stopped me.
That's how we fell in love.


One year has passed
Still you are here
planting seeds of love
with patience and care

I am grateful I have you
I wish and pray
May forever be ours.
