i remember the first time you kissed my forehead.
the first time you touched and feel my heart beat.
the first time you hold my hand.
the first time you told me 'it's going to be ok, im here'

the time when you cried on my shoulder
when you tried so hard to be strong,
but i know you're not.
strong people are not strong all the time.

the time when i would get angry at you
and you would run after me.
the time when you would hug me tight
and not let me go, when im upset with you.

the times when you scold me for my attitude.
the late nights calls till morn we had just because
i can't fall asleep or whenever im alone at home.
the long texts i used to keep to reread it whenever i miss you.

the long scoldings you received from my mum,
the scar at the back of my leg i received
after beatings and beatings.
the rumours and bad remarks we had to go through.

my own bestfriend couldn't accept it.
no one did. but you were there.
you became my world.
'even when the whole world's against you,
i'll still be here with you'

siti zakiyyah, you're special.
