For two years, I wondered.
Where were you?
How are you?
What happened?

For two years, I searched.
Every hint, sign, detail,
"Is there something I've missed?"
I recalled.

For two years, I tried.
To forgive, to move forward,
to set you free.
Yes, I think I did.

For two years, I hoped.
That you also wondered,
searched, recalled,
and maybe tried.

For two years, I prayed.
To keep you safe,
happy, successful,
and well-loved.

Two years later, you answered.
You remembered, you allowed
yourself to be found.
You tried, I believe you did.

Two years later, I still pray.
To keep you safe, happy
and successful in my open arms.
That for the next two years to stay,
I may love you just well-enough.

For the most part of the day,
the weather's gloomy.
My bed-weather mood,
finally taken its toll.
In these tiny moments
of fragmented daydreaming,
my head and my heart
are clouded
by the very thoughts of you.

Suddenly, I am warm.
Suddenly, I am cozy.
Suddenly, I am at peace.
I behold this love from afar
although unspoken,
to have it in any other way,
I would never want.
Wait, is it love now?
Yes, it’s love now.
Yes, I can finally tell.

It’s not easy, you know
to love someone,
unknowingly. But duh,
love knows no bounds
neither any form of distance,
nor needs anything in return.
And I don’t need reciprocation.
It’s just how I feel,
at least while it lasts.
I’d like to keep it this way.

In this solace,
a bountiful of prayers
somewhere lies.
From my subconscious mind
to connect with yours, somehow.
I’d like to know:
how your day’s doing,
what are you thinking about,
what sort of things
made you happy today.

A prayer to get to know you,
to dive into your soul
and amaze myself
of what it’s like
to be ever present
right there,
in your world.
Because in my world?
Oh darling, you're there,
you always have been.

In a not-so-distant time,
any moment now, perhaps
we could finally have
our universe -
where there exists
two people
namely you and me,
side by side,
hand-in-hand,
as happy as we’ll ever be.
TOGETHER.

Woke up today, thinking of you.
As the sun illuminates my window,
I couldn’t help but be grateful,
for the bliss it brought upon,
for the joy you brought upon.
The rest of the day,
now I shall look forward to.
Though you may not know,
it doesn’t matter.
To love you from afar,
I don’t mind.
Today is the first day after having written a love letter for my long-time secret love. That letter seems to make all the difference because finally, what had been a secret is no longer a secret today. It's a privilege because not every one is given a similar opportunity to love and to express how they feel.
So here I am, trying to make the most of it, while it lasts.

In broad daylight,
I see the warmth
of the light passing
between our parted ways
guiding my heart
through the path
that leads to you.

Hope, is all that there is
To see myself standing
Right beside you,
Looking back at me
As if I’m the only one you see.

So darling,
walk with me
while the sun rises and sets,
Let its rays cast
the shadow of the years
that we lost,
of the distance
that set us apart.

Watch our story unfold
May you see nothing
but bliss, love, resilience
and magic.
In return you may
finally have a glimpse
of my vision
- of what it’s like
to become you and me.

— The End —
