The veracity of interiority

I woke up one early morning and rose immediately from bed
Wanting to grab this very rare opportunity of feeling the kiss of the wind
I washed myself just like what I always do
And went out to start my ordinary walk in life

As I continue my walk, I began to ponder upon some important events
I just realized how fortunate I am to meet a person like you
Until now, I can't figure out the exact reason why we met
But one thing I can be sure of is I am feeling an unexplained eudaimonia because of you

At first, I did not expect this closeness of ours to come
It was such a perplexing instance to get closer to you
It was even paradoxical since I traveled so far just to search for you
And yet, the one I have been looking for is just here where I started to step unto

It's quite painful upon knowing that not everything will happen in your favor
That is such a reality that I have been trying to accept
It's quite weird thinking that we are like birds in prison
For both of us are already been attached

Whew! What a very mysterious life there is in this world
It is indeed true that things are not what they seem
It's contradictory to feel happiness where in fact we are lonely
But that is the way it goes sometimes

I am starting to reflect as to why I did not met you before
I just can't organize my thoughts whenever I think about this
Falling for someone where in fact you've already been attached to someone else
It is indeed more rational sometimes to be irrational

I just cannot contain myself anymore
For I am living in this world full of prejudice and lies
And on the other hand, a world full of hope and love
For having you found makes my life complicated yet a life of fulfillment

I offer this to you for this wonderful day
I am very grateful still because if not this day, I might not be able to see you
But here we are, having met at last
Despite the difficulties, I am still happy

I am still hopeful that I will win you someday
It might not be today, not tomorrow, it might be someday
Nobody knows for we don't have any control of tomorrow
But we can defy time and space if we want to

I am saying this to you because I cannot simply wear a mask
I know basically the traps of the situation
It might endanger both you and I
But I am very sure that one can ever question feelings

When can a huddle of wrong be right?
And when can a cluster of right be wrong?
When can a horde of truth be filled with lies?
And when can a bunch of lies be filled with truths?

I know you know what my actions speaks
And I am feeling the same way with yours
I just want to let you know that if it's necessary to wait
Then I will wait even if it will take me light years

Love doesn't know any time and space
For it is beyond them
It doesn't know any right or wrong
For it is simply an expression of what is true

I offer you this poem
As my gift to you for this very special day
A day when a beautiful creation came into this world
In order to be appreciated by an ordinary being like me
