Encompassed

This latest poem is dedicated to.. well, you know who you are. ;)

~The Hug~

I gasped in relief, my feet stamping the floor
In delight, I attempted to comprehend my score
I mouthed words of sheer gratitude for my Lord
For He had blessed my L1R4
My eyes frantically searched the hall
For the person who’d picked me up everytime I fall

You promised a moment that would last forever
And then I’ve found you, seemingly cheery as ever
You turned to see a cracked smile on my face
I stood frozen, my feet cemented at its place

I every way you exemplify the phrase:
A world without you is only a waste in space

‘Fourteen?’ voiced out between your lips
I nodded in reply as my stomach did flips
Someone call the ambulance coz it was hard for me to dial
I was blinded from the radiance of your smile

Before I knew it, I was encompassed
In embrace which I wish would last
I felt my breath taken away
Like the tasty catch of the day
Being tugged at the end of a line
Which was nothing short of fine
Your angel wings shielded me from the world
And *BANG*, escaped my soul as it swirled

Everything else exploded into babel
My mind clouded and rocked unstable
My legs were fifty feet off the ground
My lungs were nowhere to be found
My brain will take years to come around
An emotion so immensely profound
In mere seconds I was completely spellbound
I was up so high I forgot what was down

And when I began to understand what this means
I was falling through bottomless ravines
My heart, my lungs and its inner machines
Resumed onto their usual routines
As my soul was sucked back where it belonged
From a wonderful moment I wish was prolonged
All the luck had run out of my four-leaf clover
In a blink of an eye I realized it was over

As you withdrew your arms from me
To continue on your pleasant hugging spree
I returned from my 5-second trip to cloud nine
Its blissful aftermath tingles down my spine
A hug which I expected to be so fine
How intoxicated was I? I could never define

Thank you =)

I'll never forget the day of my O Level results.

I'll never forget you.
