WHEN SLEEP SO FAR AWAY

WHEN SLEEP SO FAR AWAY

In the night like tonight, 
When sleep so far away
I am remembering the best about you
Your ways of showing your love FOR me.

Let me count the ways;

In the eve of my birthday, June 30, 2013
You set the table in your garden
For you and me to share the moment
The best birthday breakfast I ever had.

Your morning birthday greetings, July 1, 2013
So sweet and full of loving feelings
Your gentle kisses and embrace
I can't ask for more, you are my LOVE.

We went after breakfast to clear the Charity Bin
As usual, as if it wasn't my birthday at all
From the city, we visited one of your friend in the hospital
I can't help thinking, what a nice way to celebrate my birthday.

Arriving back to your place, you immediately look around
I secretly wondering, what is what you are looking for
'Anything you are looking for?'  I asked.
'Hmmm....maybe they haven't come yet.' your reply.

So you are expecting someone.........who?  I wonder...in silence!

Waiting......

In some few minutes' I visited the most wonderful moment
I had with you....

When we are sitting face to face at the balcony
You look at me with intensity in your eyes
I often wonder, do I have dirt over my face?
Then, one day you said, you love my pretty face!

Still waiting...to whom who is coming....

A scenario that once happened;
While we are reading at the balcony next to each other
You surprises me...of how romantic you can be if you let yourself go
You kissed my scarred right knee from the wounds on my first fall in your garden.

I KNOW THEN, I am loved!

Waiting........
then...................................................

Eleven-thirty in the morning, someone shouted at the gate
'Anybody home?'  I shouted someone looking for you.'
'Will you see it for me.'  You shouted back, with a smile
'Yes.'  I answered to the man coming towards me!

'Julieta, Anyone died?'  The delivery man asked
'Of course not, no one died.' you responded. (I can feel your disapproval on man's action)
'Oh! The delivery uttered as he handed to me a huge beautiful bouquet of flowers
Then added "YOU GOT TO BE A WONDERFUL LOVELY PERSON TO DESERVE THESE HUGE BOUQUET OF FLOWERS.'  YOU ARE THE FIRST PERSON I EVER DELIVERED           THESE SIZE OF BOUQUET.'

'YES, SHE IS, A WONDERFUL LOVELY LADY.'  SHE DESERVE IT...YOU SAID
As I carry the weight of the bouquet, tears started rolling down my cheeks...
'Thank you, so much...for the lovely flowers, it does shows how much you love and care
I AM BLESSED TO HAVE YOU,.'I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART.' 

THANK YOU VERY MUCH....
