You Never Fail To Surprise

You were missing on Monday, and Monday became a depressing "blue" day.

I heard you cough on Tuesday, and the first thought was that you are still ill,

It was comforting to know you were around.

You speak with an odd accent

Neither sounding Chinese, Indian, Malay, British, nor a Malaysian.

You laugh with such obnoxious snips

All those things reassure me you are around – which provides me a smile for the day.

30 minutes have passed,

I don’t see the beautiful lock of hair, which I have come to admire.

It’s because that lock has been sliced and trimmed to the lowest point possible,

I had to stop to believe what I was looking at.

I had to make sure it was you.

But that unmistakeable yellow shirt which you have on, just clarified the view,

My dreams of running my fingers through your hair just snapped.

Why, how, when, what – those ran through my mind

The wallpaper has changed. You never fail to surprise me.

And I convinced myself that I was bored of you.

You, you – proved me wrong.
