The first time you said, “I love you”, we were classmates and friends. My thought then, “Love is too big a word for teens like us.”
For many years, we continued to be friends, although apart, you let your presence be felt.
When i first got my heart broken, you were there to catch me after that hard fall.
I fell for you then, but the timing wasn’t right for you were committed.
When you were finally single after 6 years, you said, “I love you” and over a bottle of vodka with friends i let you pursue.
But after a day, i discovered the feeling i once had for you, although fleeting, wasn’t there. I said “Stop now, let’s just still be friends.”
Then, life happened,.
I lost my father. You let me cry over your shoulder.
You had another girlfriend while i got busy with my work.
After a year, i went back to our town, found a job and you became my brod.
I let you in again in my life.
I was alone and you offered me you as companion.
I was sad but you make me glad.
You became my anchor.
Until i imagined you to be my harbor.
Until i think, i felt you and your message came across.
You really do love me and i think this time, “I do again.”
