The Fate That We Long

The Fate that We Long
2011 February

So early in the morning and I can’t be late;
This is the worst part that I really hate;
I was dreaming of an enchanted true love’s kiss,
And my alarm clock made it miss.
But sorry for me, I’ve got to sacrifice that,
‘Cause job counts more than dreaming what

The past is over and I hope it is gone,
But no regrets for whatever I have done.
What counts here most is for today,
Hoping all the nice things come my way.
This day’s going to bring out the best in me;
What as awesome day I hope it would be.

The bus had just left some minutes ago,
And now I’ve got to wait, I was feeling so low.
Sitting on a porch next to a pie booth,
My boss is strict, I’m seeing my sooth;
So cold but it’s summer, chilling me out,
Here’s the next bus, I’m heading to South!

Thank God, I made it on my usual time,
My boss is late, what a fun, I hear his chime.

So many paper works are heading to my table;
I am not giving up, I’m willing and I’m able.
But it is not enough, am I going insane?
We have a saying, “No pain, no gain”
Gee, today is thirteenth, two days to wait,
I’m going to receive my deserved payment.

The sun is setting, the bells are chiming,
Dusk is coming, here comes evening.
I’ll finish this tomorrow, so many in a ream;
I forgot my umbrella, the sky is dim.
I fear I might be stuck in the night
But I have to be home early to my site!

Oh, the rain had poured hard and heavy,
And I cannot take it, I’m not ready.
The rain hadn’t stopped, but it’s not hitting me,
Oh, goodness sake! Do my eyes deceive me?
An awful day had been but a miracle to see
An old friend holds an umbrella for me!

Together so sweet, we walked in the rain;
Guess he and me, so flattered in vain.
After ten years of silence comes an ordinary day,
Walking hand in hand, wishing all away.
But the flames in my heart haven’t cooled yet;
This love I still feel from the time we met.

We went to a café to drink hot chocolate;
Both of us were shivering and slightly wet;
Until late evening we went out chattering.
The lights can’t be wrong, the stars seemed smiling.
I can’t wait to tell him the way I fell;
I can’t help control myself ‘because this is to real.

We were together so long for a day,
I still have a million words waiting to say.
But before these words came out of my mouth,
This heart of mine cried and began wanting to shout.
I can never have him and he with me
‘Cause he is going to propose to a girl so lucky!

So foolish of me, so delirious and crazy;
I kept years so quiet with this feeling so silly.
I was shattered so fine, I broke into tears;
He asked me and saw the secrets of my deepest fears.
No more words to say, no more things to hear.
How I wish I had never met him!

But I felt his arms so warm around me
And a whisper that blew life to my dead body;
“Love, can’t you see it in my eyes?
Can’t you hear the words of truth? These are not lies.
You are the reason why I went back here.
I long to be where you are, dear.”

So many thoughts kept flashing through my mind
After a long break to seek and to find;
Ten years ago, we had only just started,
Ten years passed, here’s the time we have waited,
“I’ll be your man, and you my lady;
Forever and ever. ‘till eternity”
