sweet idleness. . .

you were there in just the right time, at just the right place. and the funny part is i wasn’t even looking. but if i had been, i would have been looking for someone just like you. someone with eyes like yours that look into mine, to find the meaning behind what words can’t always say.

i wasn’t even looking but you were there…with arms to hold me close when i needed it. with shoulders for me to cry on and a bright smile that seem to say “welcome home” to a place i didn’t even know i was going. a place i am so grateful to have found.

i would have been looking for someone with a sense of humor like yours. one that can lift me up out of a blue mood. one that laughs at my stories.

i have always dreamed of this.

i’ll admit that there was something i missed.

i’m wondering if it is for real.

every mistake, every wrong turn, everytime i lost my way,

lead me to this moment of bliss tonight.

with you, finally i can break free.

with you, it’s all changing in my destiny.

dream come true, it’s so funny now i see

how different life turned out to be.

you were always by my side.

that you believed in me was enough reason why.

i didn’t stop, didn’t give up, even if i’ve sometimes lose hope.

i did my best and i am blessed in life…

you have seen me at my worst and was amazed at how i acted when im at my best. still, you never left. you were always at that same spot where i have found you…eager to listen…wide-eyed…and with a bright smile.

you’re my eating partner. you’re always on the go in search for a place where we could satisfy our craving tummy-from the cheapest place we could ever find to the not-so-cheap resto in town.

you’re my comfort zone. i can pour my heart out to you. i can cry if i want to. i can scream if i have to. i can curse. i can feel bitter. and i can cry all over again. you never mind at all.

you’re my walking diary. you would sit with me and listen to my blabberings. you listened when i told you about my dream wedding, my ideal mate and children, my dream job and my other plans. and you know what’s more amazing? it’s when you, too, shared your dreams to me.

you’re my friend. when im feeling gooey and silly, you hang on to every word i said. you laughed when i told you i find it cute when i see couples wearing the same color of shirt. you giggled when i told you i was amazed by how the waters in the fountain seemed. . . light and slim.

you’re my counsellor. when i’m complaining about life, you were there to show me that life is not that harsh afterall. you taught me to appreciate the simple things my sister has done for me. you showed me the other side of having to miss my mom and dad. you taught me to cherish them a lot.

you are a great person. . . one of a kind. an exceptional creation. with big heart and big appetite as well. with great understanding of so many things. an exemplary individual who never deserts a friend. a daughter with many faults and alibis, but a good daughter just the same.

you sat with me. you listened. you shared your precious time. you wiped my tears. you made me happy. you changed my perception about things. the name LEMONGRASS has not quite justified what you really are to us. . .to me. and just in case, i have written this to let you know that you are the most appreciated lemongrass in the world.
