The familiar face that laid next to your pillow,
Whom you saw the most, saw the closest. Yet, time seems to have made its mark.
Remember the time when you first winked at her, and you still feel touched today.
As you both became used to the luck, the company, and the romance, a chilling distance somehow grew between the two.
Why? Oh why was everything so beautiful?
Why were our eyes so kind?
After much time and hardship, gratitude for each other has been forgotten.
If, what if the relationship is no longer the same,
If a stone wall has been built between the two,
Normalcy could deprive a relationship of the care and love that both cherish inside.
Thinking back to that time, when your heart was beating and your face blushed,
When you told her “Do not be afraid,” do you still remember?
Afraid if you kissed her today and expressed your feelings directly, you will feel exposed and embarrassed?
If you have survived the hardships, then wipe away the doubts and clouds, and let her know you love her.
Why? Oh why was everything so beautiful?
Why were our eyes so kind?
After much time and hardship, gratitude for each other has been forgotten.
If, what if the relationship is no longer the same,
If a stone wall has been built between the two,
Normalcy could deprive a relationship of the care and love that both cherish inside.
Remember when even a secret glimpse of her could give you butterflies in your stomach?
Remember when you were already in love with her before the first chat?
Remind yourself of these moments if you forgot them. Do not be too frugal with compliments.
If, what if everything is still so beautiful,
If today the same kindness still exists in each other,
Embrace your loved one, and remember that year when you both revealed your dreams and goals.
Be thankful for your partner,
Be glad that love is amendable.
Remember that year, when you met your true love:
The one that laid next to you. The one that made you yearn.
