To My Special Someone

The day started off pretty ordinary, with a early morning basketball game with my ol' mates. Had fun bonding with them, enjoying the camaraderie of long-absent friends. Good clean fun, followed by lunch with my sweetheart, with whom I was celebrating my 2nd Year Anniversary with, on the 17th of Nov.

How could I fortell that my supposedly-busy-with-the-exams sweetheart had planned a couple massage therapy session at the spa which I brought her to last year?! It was the most awesome experience, not just because of the quality of the service and place, but for the incredible feeling to just gaze upon her, her little cheeky smile as she struggled to contain the secret casually disguised through normalcy. To enjoy an 80 minute long massage, followed by a Shanghainese lunch, and chilling out at her place, just the two of us, made for such an unbelievably wonderful and immensely satisfying afternoon! To see her little beaming face as her masterplan unfolded without major glitches, to catch the scent of her hair as a breeze blows a wisp past my face, to watch her smile in love, and to see that blindingly adorable pair of eyes widen and close as she wheedles a favour from me, is by far the reward that I love to see more than any other.

It's just unbelievable how much you really depend on a person, how a few days simply become months in your eyes as you crave her being with you, to catch a light scent of her on you, to find the almost overbearing pleasure just in holding her close to you, to see a glittering smile and twinkle in the eyes of the one you love. The ecstatic feeling of seeing this in someone not in a relationship with you returned in kind, slowly giving way to a binding affection and heart-aching love that you feel, that you can almost hear her breathe so far away as you lie awake at night. How thinking of a person cleans up your rotten day, hearing her voice in times of trouble transports you into a world of love, where troubles are cleared from you and put on hold. How writing a letter to her becomes therapy, as you pen words of love and honesty for her to read, and have the gesture returned. It's not easy to find a love like that, anywhere. It's easy to forget, in anger, all that a loved one has done for you, has gifted you with. Keep it in mind, that love is unconditional, and when you receive this precious gift from the most beautiful person in the world, nothing else ever compares.

Thank you for 2 years of love, joy and beauty, cyncyn. You are my heart and joy, my little jewel box of treasures that never fails to amaze me. I don't know if we're meant to last forever, to tie the knot or what other silly fantasies crafted by most others, but I sure as hell hope so.

I love you, Cyn! =)

Sweeter than Strawberries, More Perfect than Peaches,
Through It All, I Know You'll Come to See,
We'll Always Be, 'Till the End
