I stuttered beneath this green low-rised roof
upon seeing you.
Jaw-dropped as you took
two steps forward to where I stood.

I was frozen, while the world
has paused from revolving.
You smiled with your face
5 inches away from mine.

The scent of your breath
caught me breathless.
I smiled back, being a late response,
stiffly and wide-eyed.

Palpitations worsen
for every counting microsecond.
You raised your hand to touch
the side of my face using
the back of your pointing finger.

I closed my eyes accompanied by falling tears.
Then you wiped those tears
using the thumb of your other hand, and
now you're holding my entire face by the side.

Still, my eyes remained close and
tears continuing to fall.
I took my breath, finally.
A breath with a sound,
a sound of longing,
the sound of sobering to miss you
all these time we were apart.

Your lips touched the center of my forehead.
I closed my eyes tighter until it hurts
already for me to open them.
You put your forehead to mine,
this time it’s your eyes that were closed.

You whispered, “I’m sorry for all the pain
I’ve caused you”
I spoked in return, “Drop it, for within
those pain my heart has known
how much love I have for you”
“Do you still–”
“I said drop it, just come with me
and take me to your arms again.”

“Aren’t you afraid that I might hurt you again?”
“I’d rather have you hurt me again yet
remained here at my side, than not to be hurt at all,
yet WITHOUT YOU.”

You let go of my face to put your arms
around me, and you gave me
the embrace and the feeling I have longed for
since the day you left.

And now my heart dropped,
giving its own self to you again,
willingly and carrying nothing else
but the never ending unconditional love
it always have for you.
