For Yani

(For my woman…my love…my strength…my inspiration)

We began from the click of the mouse and the flick of the keyboard
This way we acquainted through the airwaves behold
We nurture a bond we call virtual friendship
Soon it develop into a blooming kinship
Vanilla, love songs, likes and dislikes
These are just some things that we unite.

Time passed and slipping by so silently
My feeling was steadfast and ever so earnestly
Was it myself that tells me eagerly
Or just my engrossed imagination that heartily expressed
The picture of you so vividly etched.

Nights alone and I am losing some sleep
Just wondering each step I make, each challenge I undertake
My head is spinning round and around and everything’s unsure
But when love is unrestrained and turbulent
It was made sure to be permanent.

Then you sighed and doubted
Am I going crazy, or just out of my mind
When I said I LOVE YOU for so short a time
Am I just seeing signs or intuitions?
Or was so confidently convinced
To differentiate this love from all rest.

But quickly I dislodged your feeling of qualm
By offering you my unconditional love
I am not God, but my feeling is like that
This isn’t a fiddle of my illustrious imagination
But a conviction of faith, trust and insinuation of LOVE
Whether you were passive of my quest, should I say at least
My endearing persistence has slowly crept into your senses?

As I began to enjoy and fondle the moments
The tireless talks, the unselfish time and the excitement it created
Suffice it to say that if I only have one more thing to offer
It would be I and the love that goes with it
Coz whether you agree or not
Once friendship turns to love, forever after welcomes both.
