Beautiful Things I Adore

I love the smell of freshly brewed coffee, the feeling of driving on the empty road during daylight, spacious bedroom with huge windows attached and walking around the garden full of flowers. Yes, sun-flowers, roses, tulips, baby breaths and basically every flower. I like the feeling of taking hot shower and throwing my body on the bed after an exhausting day.

I am obsessed with poems, love songs, classical music and paintings. They are like aspirin to my soul. I love beaches and sunsets. They seem to be destined together to create a breathtaking view. I love resting my body on the top of the hills, facing the miniatures of the whole city. It feels like I own the whole world. I fancy the shower of warm sunlight on my hair during autumn. I adore mountains and their scent. Best place for stargazing.

Nonetheless, apart from all of those, my favourite is you. Yes, you. I am always captivated by your eyes. Those eyes which are full of affection and tenderness. They are so peaceful like a night sky. I do admit I get lost in there sometimes. There were times when they looked at me, they might turn shaky and strayed with thousands of silent worries and I promised myself that I would chase away those fears in your eyes.

And there you smile. I am infatuated. Those dimples on both your cheeks make me forget to breath. Those smiling eyes are my treasures too. I never get bored of them. Thus I promised myself I would draw that smile on your face because I simply love it.

I love your thick and messy hair. When it grows longer, it tickles my face often. I get very comfortable with those big warm hands of yours intertwined in mine. I like your accent when you are talking. I laugh on your jokes, even the lamest ones because I am simply entertained. I love how you care of me so much. I feel your sincerity as I am loved and treated like a princess. I adore everything about you.

At least, one thing that I know for sure. You, staying by my side, is just perfect for me. You are the most beautiful thing I have. Everything else comes later.

A Selfless Love

Like a star on the dark horizon,
Like a rising sun after the gloomy winter,
Like rainbows after the pouring rain,
You taught me about tomorrow's hope.

For every tantrum I threw,
For every complaints I made,
For every misbehave I did,
Begging for love in a selfish way,
Yet you never walk away.

When life turned like a broken-winged bird,
You taught me how to dream,
But what am I,
I am just your little girl,
Seeking for places I've never expected,
Searching for things I've never seen,
No matter how far I wander,
Your love never fails me,
Because I know that you are home.

If being proud is all I can give at last,
I will make sure it will never be too late,
But it is something I can't repay,
Because that kind of love is called selfless.

PS : We are often busy growing up. Please remember, our parents are growing old too.
