I had almost nothing back then
Neither blossoms nor fruits
My leaves were dim and my branches bare
Then you took me home, and we had one another.
I was happy and comfortable
Sitting in the nutritious, warm soil
No mores pests intruding my lovely siestas
There’s nothing else I’d ask for.
But soon I started to feel
A bit lethargic, fatigued
As if part of my youth was drained.
Still, I gave all I have
To permeate your house with aroma
And to grow the little green ones
Just to win your angel-like laughters
and delightful eyes.
Do you know that I love you so?
Time gone by, and there came a day
we had a new home.
I was left in the balcony, the sky was bright
And my body blazed with refreshed vitality.
I realised by then, that all I had truly needed
was sunshine. Eternal sunshine.
Polished, soft green leaves
start to crown my head
They gently swayed in the wind.
I knew that you were happy for me
And so was I, happy for you.
Because
I see you
kissed her in the moonlight,
I see you
stunned at the mesmerising sunset
I see you
lost yourself with the piano
your silhouette bathed in the warm, amber light.
Do you know that I love you so?
I think you do.
