The rain was pouring heavily,
When a complete stranger shared his umbrella voluntarily,
I thought at first he’s an enemy who’s likely to commit felony,
But then few years later he came to be my sweet reverie.

Our worlds crossed again after that rainy day,
You introduced yourself to the class and said you were Jay,
I felt a sudden jolt of ecstasy inside my heart,
As your voice sounded like a total art.

I held back as you stared at me coldly,
You looked closely,
Walked passed through me slowly,
And sat beside me boldly.

Our story started to unfold that time,
As you became my partner-in-crime,
As if our fates were completely aligned.

We graduated together,
You fulfilled your dream of becoming an engineer,
While I also fulfilled my dream of becoming a professor,
We made it despite everybody’s pressure.

Soon after we received our diplomas,
We passed and nailed our board exams,
We celebrated together at your house,
And that was the moment we had our first night.

5 years ago

You officially courted me,
You asked for my parent’s go signal,
Even though you started courting me five years ago,
We still abide by my parent’s rule, right?

Everything was just for formality’s sake,
Coz you know enough my parents are the traditional type,
But then you still made a huge effort,
You’ve impressed my parents so much that they’re very much willing to send me off to you.

I said yes and we became official lovers,
It took me some time to say those words,
But still you waited,
You know enough I had to fulfil some of my dreams first.

As I finally said those three words,
You shouted to the top of your lungs,
That I am now officially your princess,
You even bragged that you’re the luckiest guy in the world to have me.

As much as how happy you were, so do I,
It’s just the label that changes,
But my love for you stayed constant,
I hoped that would also be the case for you.

We had a happy relationship,
We dream together,
Travelled our dream destinations,
I even gave you all coz baby you’re worthy enough to have every single piece of me.

I couldn’t even imagine a life without you,
You are my safety pin,
My sweet escape,
And my everything.

A girl from your untold past barged in,
Our love went shaky,
You acted a bit cold towards me,
But still I chose to fight for what we have.

I thought I have known you enough,
But I was wrong,
You were still a stranger to me,
And you still haven’t uncovered every piece of you to me.

A year ago

Amidst having a shaky relationship,
You promised to marry me a year after,
You said we will be able to surpassed it together,
And you finally told me your untold past.

That girl was the very reason why you transferred to our school back then,
She broke up with you and forced you to change school,
And as you saw me, I completely reminded you of her,
Every inch of me reminds you of her.

I met her once,
And I was like looking at a mirror,
We totally look the same,
Except for the fact that our attitude differs.

One night she called you asking for your help,
You asked for my permission if you could go,
I said yes though I have fears about it,
Well, that was the day she finally had a reason to take you away from me.

A year after

I was in front of the altar,
Watching you marry that girl,
After she conceived your first son,
Little did you know I also gave birth to our princess.

Our love might be a trick,
But I thank you for unknowingly giving me such a sweet treat,
You gave me my little princess,
And I promise to raise her right even without the care of a dad.
