Spring
A new phase sets
Different colleges, cities, and now different countries
Your day starts and ends hours ahead than mine
Beautiful places we have been, new faces we have seen
Wonder how this moment would turn out to be if you were here beside.
But it’s a time for new beginnings where our old routines get left behind
Entering once again unfamiliar situations
I look at you and find peace in your calm
This is the way it must be, from this we will shine
And if we get lost, in each other’s arms we will find.
Summer
It’s a brand new you and me
In our respective lives we thrive
Especially you, settling in seems like a breeze.
More weeks, months pass and we’re growing more at ease
You know me and I [know] you, like the back of our hands.
Nothing deters us, not even time nor distance
Endless banters – you’re a breath of fresh air after a long hard day.
The warmth of your cuddles and touch
Every moment we spend brings much joy.
Despite the years, novelty always seems to find a way.
Autumn
The days get busy, responsibilities run high
The blurring lines between work and life
Conversations become brief and spare time limited
Yet we manage to power through these moments.
We squeezed in lunch and coffee breaks albeit short
Studying in libraries and working at cafes became our rendezvous.
As we grew older and lived apart, some things we face on our own
After a long hard day, at times we yearn to rest and be still
Your comforting presence as we stay silent next to each other
What a beautifully ordinary way to spend life together.
Winter
At times we reach a point wherein we’re at a crossroads
Our views do not seem to align, paces not in-sync
We see the depth of our differences
It’s a season of make or break – they say.
Amidst the struggle, we realize the depth of our bond
Our mutual love and respect grow abound.
Rather, it’s a season of make and break through
I know in my heart I will always take a leap of faith with you.
In moments where we detour or go astray,
Back into each other’s arms we will always find a way.
