TWO YEARS

The time I met her and her clever smile
Was in a party, a slightly Polish night in Singapore
Although I knew I liked her very much
I still denied that to myself a while, too long

A party after party after party
Of beaches, symphonies and food
I even took her hand once,
But just as friend and slightly drunk

But then I met her in a completely different world
In land of friendliness, adventure and excitement

Just scroll back and look at her!

And still sometimes I felt like Jim from season 1

But in my mind I tried to get her closer

A lecture after lecture, through the day and night
The only thought that brushed my mind
Was Sita. (Such a beautiful name!)
And her lovely smile.

So I told her.

And it worked!

But still I had to ask her for a date
A proper one with walks and talks
And games and wine
And everything that's fine

So I've sent her this:

And it worked!

So on the first November day we went to hell
Which should have warned me of the crazy
Drama life that waits for me ahead
But we went on and it's been great!

But true, what followed was a crazy year...

From scary sharks and tigers

To lovely elephants and kittens

From riding the roads

To riding the waves

By looking through the pictures
And selecting just a few
I simplify the year to moments short
But carrying so much more within their depth

And every day the love's been growing stronger
So much that I could not believe
How silly I could feel besides you
And happier than I could've ever thought

The second year came rather quickly
With thousands of memories within

The doubts I had around two years ago
Are gone so long ago, replaced by love

I can't imagine what my life would be
Without the Haw Par Villa day

Thank you, Sita! I love you!
