Your Lady

I think the most agonizing for a girl is to be promised at. What is more difficult are the words uttered romantically in normal days. How can just a girl forget those "I will never leave you" while watching sunset at the bay. "You are my life" while he touches her hair softly as gentle as the breeze. She is at that time in her vulnerability - so perceptive on words which seems the truest.


When she was still a girl, she always dreamed of someone being with her. To listen to her stories just before she sleeps. She always dreamed of someone to hug her at night-something she never had all her life until he came. She always wanted someone aside her girlfriends to have dinner with. To share a smile, a kind of smile her girlfriends will never see. A smile that only him can see.


And yet, like the river, everything just flows in a different way. Everything changes. And that girl will never be a girl through time.


She became what they call a lady. So aware about how things are. That she can never take a hold of anything nor anyone unless that being decides to. She will never feel inadequate when someone had left as she has always known that people are people and no one will ever stay forever. She will never yearn to have someone beside her because pillows were enough. She will smile at her girlfriends and she still can smile in her sweetest if someone pleases her.

She will never expect nor do her best to keep up with anyone. She is by so far, has kept regal in many ways. Kept her self from anything that will make her vulnerable. She does not need anyone to be happy. She can be happy with her self. She knows no drama. She has learned self-preservation. She is strong. She is what any man wants their woman to be.


That lady. A beautiful lady with her mind and heart. A beauty that is skin-deep.


She is a lady and yet she knows that she will spend all her life looking for that kind of boy to bring the kind of girl she was before.


The kind of girl she lost.
That girl she missed.
That girl she has kept inside her heart.
That kind of boy who will make her true to herself again.

He made age just a number
and  he made her realize that she had
always been a little girl.
And now so alive inside
her beautiful dream.
