IN THIS LIFE

how green radiates with brown under orange lamp lights.

and i could only think of him.

and of us, dancing amidst the spots of gold and moonlight.

just hold me and sway into daybreak, will you?

i'm supposed to be on a break this week, with three days taken up by a trip to KL with the aunt and a crowd from the singapore teachers' union.

it was a good, if not semi-boring trip.

peppered with smses and short, sweet phone conversations.

he calls to say he loves me. =)

i found it extremely amusing...after all, i was going to be home on wednesday night.

but i wasn't any different, shooting him countless messages of little notes only we two could understand.

one person who was giggling throughout the whole trip was my aunt, who was by my side when he called, and when i smsed.

"the two of you are so cute," says she.

i appreciate how he makes the effort to know this part of me...in scouts, work and salsa.

and i'm ashamed at how i seem to know so little about him.

we often find ourselves asking each other if we're usurping each other's time, pulling each other away from activities we'd be doing if not for either of us.

sure doesn't seem like that right now.

our relationship isn't over-the-top, cry-out-loud romantic, but it is enough. =)

between us who can't really surprise each other because we're so fundamentally similar, we have a lot of fun trying to.

and it's these little things that make him a keeper.

he gives the cynic in me hope.

i'm glad we started on this prologue together.

if it all falls apart
i will know deep in my heart
the only thing that mattered had come true
in this life, i was loved by you
