the first time I saw you,
the World faded into the background
and sounds became mere static in a frequency
too high for people to hear
and I saw
only you

your name will never be the same to me
because I've found
how beautiful a sound can be
its like praying when said soft
and music playing when said out loud
being with you,
the minutes seem like hours
and the hours seem to go so slowly
but I can't begin to comprehend
how we're both always
running out of time
if this World were mine
I'd break the clock's hands,
knees, legs and fingers
so time would never stop
or start
and we could just be together
without worrying about
having to hug each other goodbye
every five minutes

if this World were mine
I'd give you each day
all sunny and blue
I'd take all that I own
and give it to you
the birds and the bees
even the moonlight too
if you would tell me to go
all I'll ask is,
" How far away ? "
and if would ask me to stay
I'll never not say, " Okay. "
diamonds may fade
and flowers will bloom
but these feelings I have for you,
with no words to describe
in English or in Malay,
will never decay

I know we agreed to take it slow
and go with the flow
but I just can't hide the way I glow
every time I stand next to you

you are the collection of
all the colors
of all things good in one,
in full brightness
and in a room full of people
even with my hands tied behind my back
and my eyes blindfolded
I will always choose you,
always
