My dear Ezen

A lot has happened since my last post. Yes, the moment I had wanted to freeze was with my current girlfriend - Ezen.

And indeed it all happened rather quickly. And I'm grateful for this. It has been more than 2 years since I felt this way about someone. I had a most memorable month. And of course, in this month we had Valentine's Day - how timely!

And I wrote this poem for Ezen to commemorate the special occasion (pay attention to the last words of every sentence, they rhyme!):

When I first met
A tall girl named Ezen
I know she's someone I won't forget
Rather, she gave me an urge to buy flowers by the dozen

I know she thinks I was too quiet
But I just love to hear her talking
I was just trying not to look to weird
As my heart was thunderously beating

As I left for the day
I felt somewhat elated
I wonder what she would say
The next time when we dated

We went out two more times
Before I gathered all my courage
Thinking of all the rhymes
To use as part of my confession language

Alas! She said I was too slow
I should have noticed she was interested earlier
But I thought that was a blow
As big as that of a glacier

And so I became a walking zombie
For the best part of a year
I wasn't interested in any Daisy, Denise or Debbie
But soon loneliness became a genuine fear

When her birthday came by
I decided to again make contact
When she replied "hey let's meet" without saying why
I became excited and hope it wasn't just an act

After a couple of re-scheduling
We finally caught up once again
She still looks as amazing
And I know whoever is with her will have much to gain

I followed that up with a few dates with her
It brought back fresh memories
I can't believe we've known each other for over a yaer
I just hope it continues, just like drama series

And so once I wanted to go Keppel Bay
But she preferred the Sentosa Beach
I thought "whatever she say"
And finally we've reached

She decided to try holding my hand
As we chatted under the stars
My heart pumped so hard it can hardly withstand
But I couldn't give an arse

It was the best feeling in the world
Just being there with her
Hand in hand, fingers curled
The memory of which will never blur

Do I now stand a chance?
I couldn't wait so I asked her out again
After which the chance wasn't enhanced
Instead it seemed to have waned

But Ezen wrote me a long email
Before she decides to write me off for good
She thinks I was acting like a snail
That was when I decided to stop being a piece of wood

So we went out once more for photography
I wondered how this was going to end
We chatted again and she hinted to me
I hope we won't just be friends!

As we were walking back towards my car
I decided to give up all manner of pretence
I took her hand in mine under the stars
And I realise I was no longer tensed!

I saw her home and was unwilling to be dismissed
But I knew I have a lifetime to love her
And so I gave her our first kiss
Afterwards I wished I would always be her driver

This is when our relationship began
I will always look back on this fondly
Because this is when I gained
This tall, charismatic woman whom is so lovely.
