My Valentine

Hi Darling,

Happy 10th year anniversary.

I miss you so much..
Never had a Valentine’s day been so difficult for me..as the one this year.

10 years ago on this very same day, I remember we had our dragonboat training..I was thinking like… “What??” Dragonboat training on V-day??” But.. I guess it was an opportunity given to us..to get together on this very same day.

I remember I deliberately took the same bus home with you after training, so that I could pass you the little heart shaped “card” I made from cork. I remember how I finally got to seat next to you on the bus, and how I finally shoved the “card” into your hands after some embarrassing moments and pauses.. and I also remember how you laughed at my spelling mistake, and how I was trying so hard to cover it up by drawing some designs over it..

That was, perhaps, one of my best and most heart warming first experiences with you.

I still remember how we sat at the Hougang interchange chatting that night, while trying to find out how we felt about each other, before finally making the “final” decision to get together. It all felt like yesterday..
What happened during the long chat at the interchange that night… I still remember.. and I will keep it in my heart, my mind and my soul. I remember it was around 11 plus pm close to midnight when you “asked” me to be your girlfriend. I was exhilarated, yet a little worried if this relationship will work out for us.

The next few Valentine’s only reaffirmed my feelings for you..as I learnt and grew to love you more and more each and every single day. Sure, we had our own fine arguments too. But they were usually never left overnight. And the next day was always better than the previous...

9 years down the road, I made the decision to marry you. As we said our wedding vows at the Registrar of Marriages on 14 Feb 2007, I knew ours was a match made in heaven. I could see and imagine you as my husband, caring for me and our families. I could see you as the father of my children. I could see us growing old together and still hold hands while walking in the park many many years down the road. I could imagine us dying within days of each other due to old age as our children grew up and got married. I could see all those..

Though you cant be physically here this Valentine’s. I will always hold you and my memories of you deeply in my heart. It was indeed the best relationship with someone anyone could ever have.

I love you Darling. And I always will.
