We’ve been too long far apart by heart. (Oh please don’t put up
that frown.) Sharing bed, sleeping side by side but never bothering to say
‘hi’ or kiss each other goodnight. But believe me baby when I say, ‘how I long
to be alone in your enveloping arms’ and put up that DO NOT DISTURB
sign.
Sure you’ve given me black eyes, but we know together we are good.
Not even complaining if I haven’t touched you in a while or I haven’t got
beyond the 12th page of the same title 3 times, that there you are
left alone gathering ‘sand’ by my bedside.
Oh my precious books, simply between us:
1.
Age doesn’t matter –
you did not judge me if I read Mills and Boon when I was eight and keep coming
back to My Little Prince in my 30’s and most importantly, you won’t ask why
am I not married on first meeting.
2.
No issues about the past –
No one cares and no one talks who owns you first or who owns you last. Even if
I picked you up from the second-hands’ rack or you’re a hand-me-down.
3.
You don’t complain –
about my cooking, or even if we only have Coke and chips all day or that we’ve
been lying for 12 hours and I haven’t brushed my teeth. (Yeah, that’s gross.)
4.
You won’t say I am fat
or that my hair is big on a regular basis. Not that I’m weight-obsessed, but
puhleeezzz, I don’t need to be reminded of what a weighing scale and a mirror
can clearly say.
5.
I can always get back on my favourite
lines and you never get tired.
6.
You didn’t call me a bitch when I was
sidetracked – when I had all my time with Facebook or when Wikipedia snatched
my attention and time.
7.
No miscommunication
issues. I can believe what I want to believe. When you get me lost: Hello
Thesaurus. And even if I nag at you at 3 am, you won’t take that against me;
simply you understand that I’m also crazy when my hormones are up.
8.
You don’t control me,
overanalyze me or get back to me and tell me: I told you so. And you don’t
require explanations when I make mistakes. You just let me be.
9.
Unconditional love -
you make me cry, you make me laugh and you don't ask anything in return
even if sometimes I don’t remember all, I can’t recall word for word, sometimes
it seems nothing was retained in my mind at all, even if it slips me who is the
author.
10. Cheating
allowed. If I want to know the how the story ends, I can always peep at
the last page, saves me from disappointments, saves me big time from
heartaches.

ReplyDeleteLovely relationship ;p
ReplyDeleteOh me too. I mean my books have been gathering dust too. Too many books too little time. If reading them could make me money I'd open them more often :D
