There Will Be Days

Dandelion by Kamsar Ohanyan, 2021

There will be days when you wake up to a cuddle

There will be days when mornings are a struggle

There will be days when dancing feels good

There will be days when music just can't give the right mood

There will be days when the food on the plate is wiped clean

There will be days when a grain's left untouched or so it seems

There will be days when laughter echoes everywhere

There will be days when not even a cricket's sound you can hear

There will be days when a short walk is enough to keep it at bay

There will be days when you kneel and plead to make it go away

There are days when the faintest of sunshine hurts your eyes

And there are days when raindrops sound like solemn lullabies.

That something, say divine intervention/fate/destiny, leaves clues or signs to guide us to where we are supposed to be? Ages ago, around seventeen...

The chismis is real! We're engaged! 💖 I was playing on my phone when I heard over the intercom that Marvin's plane has landed. I let out a sigh of relief, thankful that he's arrived safely. I immediately texted him where I was and where he should go so I'd see him. Each time a batch of passengers would come out from the building, I'd search for him, feeling a bit antsy. It's embarrassing but frankly, I wasn't sure how he actually looked, though we've just had a video call less than 24 hours ago. But when I saw him walking down the ramp, I knew for sure that that was him. It's been two years and it was only then that I realized how I've truly missed him! Like the moment when we first sat side by side as lovers, seeing him for the first time after a very long time felt pretty awkward. I was hesitant to display affection in front of hundreds of strangers. Lels. But he did kiss me on my forehead and I then gave him a hug - still in ...
