UnSpokenly OverDued
I've got to thinking... whilst going through the many photos that i have uploaded unto my computer... and the mention of "romantic things" done to and with one's significant other...
Didn't realised till now that i didn't put up an entry to mark my birthday celebration... and the irony here is that that was one of the most eventful day of my known life.
The celebration was a total success, a Barbeque that we've always wanted to do. and finally a reason to do just that. all that preparation and all that food gave one... well, a natural high... I was happy... people that were supposed to turn up, did... well at least those that mattered to me the most, amongst the few.
The planning, the preparation, i guess everyone just got off on that. it didn't take alchohold to get everyone going. lest not for the better part of the evening.
'cept for one gloomy individual... looming in the background. a silent shadow of what he used to be. who came on commitment. to fulfill a promised made. and a promise kept for that was all he did. being VERY careful not to cross the line.
though trying very hard to look un-phased, joining in the festivities... a silent detrimental shout was heard, was felt.
i gave in... I felt the tug... if it were anyone else, i wouldn't have even bothered giving a look. I don't know why, this time, it was different. Things change? people change? The good Lord only knows...
for once in my life, i let my defences down, for once in my life, i let my emotions run. For once in my life, i allowed my heart to rule my head.
and there we were, sitting face to face, alone in the silence of my living room. somehow, though words were hardly exchanged, we could understand each other perfectly... receptive, susceptive. reading each others actions. Every movement made perfect sense. Tears were shed, consolation came... and smiles were shared.
In my opinion, romantic gestures are not rated on the basis of money spent, or presents given. it's that sheer transparent understanding of each other...
that, my friends, for me, is the most romantic thing.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all my friends, JV, Wei Wei, Shahrin, Crispian and the many others who came for making this Birthday one to remember. One that i will forever hold true to my heart.
If it weren't for the sisterhood, i don't know where i would be today.
(prolly at home, fat, insecure and wallowing in self-pity)
HEARD
Take my hand, for I shall guide you
Give me your hand, for I shall protect you
Blind to oblivion, I see the light in your eyes
Deaf upon the world, I hear the tenderness of your breath
Sight misguided, vision impaired
Thoughts unspoken, words unheard
You showed me strength when I cannot see
You gave me promise when i cannot hear
Together, we ride the sunset
Together, we thread the stars...
