My Sayang, Aizie

We started as colleagues in a classroom full of new connections and ended up in a same group for Biology Lab,
And yet, we never seem to interact with one other.
Time went by and we still haven't spoke a word with one another,
I guess that's the perk of being a professional introvert.
It's funny how I always noticed you, and thought how impossible it is to form a bond.
We both know pretty well the two different worlds we've been living in,
You being raised as a wonderful Muslim, and I as a Christian.
I thought when the COVID-19 pandemic hits, we wouldn't see each other again, and that's final.
But fate always seems to work behind the scenes,
So we ended up pursuing our studies in the same faculty,
You, in the Chemistry field while I, in the Biotechnology field.
Yet again, we never really spoken with one another until this one fine day, we were both in our final years of studies.
That very day, I felt the urge to be out of my comfort zone and try to smile to the people that passes me by,
Coincidentally I stumbled upon you,
I find the courage to smile and you froze at that very spot while looking right through me.
I was too shy and embarrassed,
So I moved along heading towards my destination.
On the 12th of June 2023, you texted me, I was greatly surprise,
It was our second interaction, but this time, we finally spoken with each other.
Time flies again, we ended up as lovers,
You've been loving me for a long time and your love is one of the most beautiful feeling I've ever got to experience.
It is a dream come true to be in your loving and warm embrace, 
I'm grateful that my prayers have been answered.
I love you, Aizie. Always will be and forevermore until infinity and, beyond the existence of space and time. 
I love you always, my sayang.
