[Love Lines]
A world without you?
With the dawn of 2005, you had already moved into another work place.
Unexpectedly I saw you on a wonderful evening at a special occasion.
A variety of colours created by a rainbow far away in the sky lighted
up the occasion so brightly. I saw you judging an event. Accidentally I
could recognize a secret from your eyes which had been written in your
mind. I was able to read it.
Since that date I have been in a great desire to meet you.
I can still remember the date when I first met you. It was my first
year in the university. I was a little bit late for the session. But
fortunately there was a vacant seat for me near the door. Once the time
was over, you came close to me and asked ‘Have you finished madam’? With
our first meeting, I felt that you are so familiar to me although we
hadn’t met before.
One day in 2004, I was at the refectory. Within half an hour I had to
face a test. There were two colourful pens in my hand. Suddenly I saw
that you were looking at me beyond 2 or 3 tables away while enjoying
some shorteats. I felt a little bit shy.
Now I wonder why I couldn’t understand your love for me early. Those
days I was trying to concentrate on my studies since I had to fulfil the
expectations of my family members. That is the reason for missing you
several times.
Unfortunately I only know your first name. I have been waiting for
nearly five years to meet you. How can I allow thoughts of you that
bloomed in my heart for you to fade away? I can’t even imagine a world
without you. I want to meet you and tell you how much I love you. I am
sure you will reply if there is room in your heart for me and if you can
still remember me. I wish you a bright future!

The wind, the sun and the rain
What would an autumn rain be like?
Without the rattling beads of cold,
Dropping down noisily.
Falling in perfect harmony.
How would a refreshing cold breeze be?
Without the soft slow moving wind,
Cooling down the burning heat,
Flowing ever so soothingly,
You’ve been with me through summer,
We’ve had our times under the bright yellow sun.
You’ve been with me through winter,
Through the cold we’ve kept each other warm.
Like strings on a guitar -
Resonating together to make the perfect chord,
We sweeten up our worlds,
Softly strumming our lives up and down.
The strings may break,
The strings can be replaced.
But the chords would always stay the same.
For you and I, we are the wind, the sun, the rain,
My companion, my accomplice, my friend.
