90 days ago, it was not necessary for us to go through it actually;
We definitely knew what were going through our minds and hearts;

Our words always seemed to taste so sweet;
We were the most beautiful things our eyes had ever laid upon;
Voices had never sounded so calming before —
Heck, we knew how much we meant to each other!

The letters that went back and forth,
The parcels after parcels of surprises —
Signed, kissed, sealed, delivered —
Travelled miles and miles in the air,
Covering distance of the many great oceans between us;
Yet we played pretend.

How absence itself caused us so much restlessness
During those months in Taiwan and Mecca, they were obvious,
Were they not?
We did not just need each other;
It was more than that, more than what we could ever comprehend.
Yet, we played pretend.

We still had those gifts we exchanged six years ago,
And they were the most well-kept treasures one could ever think of.
Everything there was about me,
To you they were priceless;
Everything about you,
They were more than anything else to me.
Was it love? No.
It was more than that.
Yet again, we played pretend.

But we did not have to fool ourselves,
For we definitely knew what were going through our minds and hearts.
Three months are nothing actually —
For all that we know, history between us dated all the way back since 2003.

Happy third month Sakina.
You are definitely the best;
The One and Only.

Oh,

I lub you berry, berry much,
You shmelly shmelly belly.
