An Ordinary Family Life

I close my eyes
Think I saw you with your back facing me
Cant see your face
But I felt as if I know you already

Often I wonder
Could you be my destiny, that I'd meet
Many many years later
And provide each other with what we've been looking for all these years
That we failed to find in others' embrace

I'd wake up every morning in your arms
And I'd be the first thing you open your eyes to
You'd kiss me softly and bid be goodbye
While I'd tend to our garden and our offsprings as you leave for work
Which soon became a habitual action
Rather than a sincere act that comes from the heart

We mighn't have anything in common except perhaps
Wanting the best for our DNAs
And maybe the romance in the air would
Dissipate before we even realized it
Sweet compliments'd be long forgotten to pass between us
Increasing intolerance of our bad habits is probably what's left

But upon all
You and I, we'd be quite contented with our lives
For it's tiresome to build a life together
All over again with another someone
And also because somehow we'd have gotten used
To the warmth of each other's presence,
The annoyance of each other's rantings,
The comfort of one's touch, and the security of familiarity

All this
Is what I call the ordinariness of a family life
Woven into a long piece of cloth
That would continue for generations
Or, rather, the simplicity of love
That so very often even love itself forgot it exists

This story that seems ever so common
But it could happen, It really could
To anyone at all
Until then, we'd never know
For no one can cheat fate nor the future
Right now we can only wait
And hope that our paths would cross
Someday, Somehow.
