I love you for giving your heart to me
& trusting me with your pride
I love you for wanting me
& needing me by your side

I love you for the emotions
I never knew I had
I love you for making me smile
Whenever I feel sad

I love you for the way you are
& for how you make me feel
But most of all, I love you
'cos I know you're mine, for real

It may not be her own original poem, but it feels real. It sounds like her. I feel her. I feel her love. I couldn't ask for a bigger birthday gift.

Spent nearly the whole day with her. Unfortunately, started to rain as we left Funan and we had to take shelter at Marina Square. The rain didn't let up. So even though we were ready for training tonight, the rain changed our plans.

We both feel guilty when we later found out about the cake the girls bought for me. How awful. Here they are, especially Wanah, always remembering me, always thinking of me, yet I disappoint them. Not intentionally but nonetheless, disappoint them I did. Gotta make it up to them somehow.

So.. Thirty of age. Feeling nothing. Just another year. But I have lots to look forward to. May the coming year be better for all. In Shaa Allah.

Thank you to all who remembered. I'm humbled.
