I have no idea how to put all this in words.

I'm going to try anyway..

Here I go.

For almost half my lifetime, you've been by my side. Every night, your soothing touch calms me down from my hectic life.
Your voice, a much needed lullaby, always sedates me into a deep slumber.

As I stood nestled in the gentleness of your embrace, the flood gates opened and I sobbed for all the losses, all the pain, all the sorrow and disappointment, that life seemed to inflict on me.

Still, you dried the tears of frustration and angst (during my formative years) with refreshing breezes of comfort.

Drove away my anxiety and worries whenever you blew a kiss.

You know every secret of mine, monumental or insignificant.

What is more amazing is that you never judged or comment in any way that would leave me feeling even more depressed. All you did was to listen attentively. Understanding-ly.

Relieved me of my burdens just when all hope seemed to be bereft.

I remember, when I was but a teeny girl frolicking about in nothing but diapers, I would rush towards you whenever my favourite song played on the stereo and belt it out in your familiar face as you sang along. Oh I love those moments.

Shared every moment with you, I did. When I shrieked at the puzzled lizard scuttling around my feet, you laughed, amused like everyone else. Later, I would laugh along at my silly-ness. When I had the worst arguements or cold wars with my dad, you fed me words of wisdom beyond your young age.

Along the years, I grew sick of you and turned to others. I thought you were old-fashioned. But now I see, there can only be one true you. The others did not have the same effect on me the way you did, either they were overly warm or always giving me the cold shoulders.

Now, the guilt had grown into a solid block of pain.

Your death was inevitable.

Slowly, inexorably, your life ebbed away.

The muffled stillness of that day continue to cast a long, heavy pall over my life.

Now, there's a wall of loneliness in my heart.


Just like a star across my sky,
Just like an angel off the page,
You have appeared to my life,
Feel like I'll never be the same,
Just like a song in my heart,
Just like oil on my hands,
Honour to love you

You've got this look I can't describe,
You make me feel like I'm alive,
When everything else is au fait,
Without a doubt you're on my side,
Heaven has been away too long,
Can't find the words to write this song,
Oh...
Your love,

Now I have come to understand,
The way it is,
It's not a secret anymore,
'cause we've been through that before,
From tonight I know that you're the only one,
I've been confused and in the dark,
Now I understand.
