It was our 4th month of being in a relationship when I texted her to meet me at a restaurant called Wendy's Chicken. I prepared myself for that wonderful day; I let a barber cut my hair a day before, I bought new clothes and shoes for myself, and also a new perfume. Before I stepped outside of our house, I made sure that the envelope that I had prepared the night before was in my pocket. I called to my mom.

"Ma, I will be going already". I said.

"Yes Anton, take care of yourself, and Cindy of course." Mom replied

"Okay ma, I will, promise."

I was at the restaurant for about 15 minutes long when I saw Cindy got inside through the door, she was so stunning with her dress that made me wanted to hug her, and it was like being indulged with love on a first sight with a stranger again. It was like my eyes had seen paradise. Cindy took the chair in front of me and said "Hi Love"

"Hello too Love" I replied

"How are you?"

"I'm fine, how about you?"

"I'm fine too"

"You're very beautiful today?"

"What? Are you saying that it's just for today only?"

"No, I mean, today but you are beautiful everyday"

"Haha I'm just kidding, Thank you for the compliment anyway"

"Happy four months Love"

"Yeah, Happy four months too, I love you"

"I love you too, what you got for me?"

Cindy gave me a present wrapped in colourful papers, I opened it.

"Wow, my favourite band's shirt, you're the best" I said.

"I'm very happy that you liked it" she replied

I saw that she was really happy that I liked it; it was obvious on her smile and on the light in her eyes.

"I have something for you too" I said to her

I gave her a small box of blue colour and a white envelope. She opened first the small box and delighted by the pendant that she saw.

"It's very adorable, thank you very much" she said

She kissed me on my cheeks, and then opened the white envelope. Of course, she knew what was inside of it, a poem, because of obvious reason, I had a habit of writing poems but she did not have the idea what words my poem for her consisted of. She started to read the poem that goes by this:


It is our 4th month today;

But still love you every day;

That will pass through our lifetime;

That makes you feel like we're rhyme.


You are very beautiful

That makes me very hopeful

Of delight in future life;

Thoughts of you making me hype.


I enjoyed the days with you

You have filled my life with hue;

Like of a pretty rainbow;

And my lips formed like a bow.


I hope it will never end;

Like our love that doesn't bend;

Forever we're together;

And we become happier.


Suddenly, I saw tears coming from Cindy's eyes, and she sprung herself to me, started hugging me and sobbing. She whispered in my ear.

"Thank you for all of this, I love you very much." She said.

"I love you too, always." I replied

She led her body backward then let her lips formed a grin. I was very happy then that I forgot to call a waiter for our order. I realized it then made an order to the waiter then we started eating with joyous conversations that not only our stomachs have filled but our hearts too.
