Just an Ask

Will it still be ever after?

If the events and people have been altered,

If a different past gave birth to today

Would the fluttering butterflies be the same?

Funny how life’s stitches loom a weave

Until now I still couldn’t believe

Out from the myriad questions and many more

Why haven’t we met before?

In the same neighbourhood

With mutual friends both bad and good

On highways and roads our footprints share

Of the same breath of mildly polluted air

Sought for abs and baritone voices

Obsessed with nifty handsome faces

Texts and keyboards clickity-clack

And all of these back then you’ve lacked

At the time how young my heart had been

Busy kissing frogs in search for a prince

When all I thought about was shallow romance

Would you think I’ll spare you a second glance?

Four years ago I never knew you exist

Never knew I was prepared for something like this

Amidst those external and internal noise

The You who sat beside me would always be my choice.
