By Aldric Chuah:
Perhaps one day the planets will align
When all the stars in the universe are in place
I will no longer have to wade through time and space
To see your warm effervescent face
There isn’t much I can offer now
My achievements to date aren’t worthy of a bow
In fact some people might say that I’m crude and rude
I hope you will perceive me as just as a normal dude
I will admit I’m not quite perfect
There are valid reasons as to why I wasn’t a high school prefect
I realise that this is all be just pipe dreams
But I yearn and hope that there is much more bursting through the seams
Together we shall soar
Into the sky forever more
And so I ask, like one great dove
Is it me of whom you love?
I shall not move I shall not seek
For you shall see that I am meek
And as you soar high up above
I’ll be waiting for you, please come my love.
I learn from you my one true liege
I yearn for you, I’ll create a siege
For you can teach me noble ways
I envision a future together of such happy days
I cry for now, we soon shall part
As it approaches noon, it shall break my heart
When you are near we’ll make some art
I love you dear, please do not part
