I remember...

I remember you staring at me
For awhile
When you nonchalantly
Asked me out for lunch.

I remember myself –
Quivered.
And how my heart beats fast,
I know not how to tame such beating.

I remember you calling me,
Late at night,
How you would sing me songs
Over the phone.

I remember myself –
Clinging so hard,
Not to get attached to someone
I did not initially want in my life.

I remember you bringing me,
To a place where I found
That I can take chances again –
When I can love like pain is not familiar to me.

I remember myself smiling
The moment you called me,
Your “Beb”.
When you became my “Hon”.

I remember us –
Fighting a good fight,
Your hands holding mine,
As if telling me, you will not let go.

I remember us –
When we argue like anything,
All those dramatic exchanges and scenes,
Who would’ve thought we could reach this far?

I remember us –
That after a horrible fight,
We managed to pick things up
And remained us – not me and you, but us.

I remember you –
In your cool and pleasant stance,
Telling me, like you always have –
That everything will be alright.

I remember myself –
Though hesitant,
Would still let go of that fear
And just simply trust.

I remember you –
Telling me that
I love you best.
That I am your female version.

I remember myself –
Praying and hoping,
That we always come out strong.
That this heart, will only trust you.

I remember you –
What with your very stubborn love
Made me see myself –
As someone who can be loved no matter how different she can be.

I remember myself –
Finally seeing me in my future.
Not alone but with a companion
She dearly loves – you.

WYMM?

From where I was,
my eyes half shut
he came up to me –
filling me with words.

In that instant,
I couldn’t take them all in.
My mind was half-way through lala-land,
other half is still a little awake.

After delivering all those lines –
he asked me to sit up,
my heart could not contain it,
I knew that something huge is about to happen.

He was on his knees,
and on his left hand
is a little blue box –
and in it is a promise ring.

My heart jumped –
for a moment,
I was speechless.
Tears started to well up my eyes.

His hands were cold
as he held my left my hand.
aiming for my ring finger –
He asked me.

“Will you marry me, Beb?”
I was afloat –
overwhelmed by
this euphoria.

He asked the same question again –
“Will you marry me, Beb?”
And again –
“Will you marry me, Beb?”

In an instant,
I was in the now.
I wrapped my arms around him
and then I give him my yes.

His face lit up
showing off his dimples
staring back at him -
my heart tells me, he is a happy man.

With a new promise ring
on my left ring finger -
I could not help but look forward to
seeing my Hon wait for me when I walk in my ivory dress.

Written a day after the proposal. :)

Written a day after the proposal. :)

Sudden Breeze

Its here -
I can feel it; I can see it in my rear.

Too strong to shoo it away;
It comes closer day by day.

It stares at me - throws me its warmth look;
Its mere presence poke me even in my nook.

My soul is not even ready for this - yet;
I am not buying this sudden turn; I fret!

People started to talk about this;
Some get cheery and think that this is bliss.

I look at one corner;
Thinking, if only I can handle this much better.

Yes, its getting so near;
Kids love it so dear.

You can see it in their faces;
They're excited and hop to different places.

Oh dear!
I am telling you, Christmas is here.
