Simple Love

Written for my friends, Nadia & Marleene on their wedding ;P

Read at Carcosa Sri Negara on Valentine's Day, Kuala Lumpur

(adapted from a song I originally wrote in 2004)


As I look above and watch the raindrops fall
I can only think of things that make me smile
Simple simple things like the happy creases on your face
Simple simple things like the sound of thunder and lazy days

I never feel fear when I hear the deep oceans rumble
I can only wonder what lies beneath the surface
Simple simple things which appear too large to handle
Simple simple things are truly worth the struggle

Simplicity is so strange
It's only us that make things seem big
It's simple to be loved
It's only us that make it difficult

As we watch those who make one of two
Doesn't it make you wonder
If you could do it too?

For you, my family, friends and lovers
Let the simplicity of love cuddle us into the night
And let us embrace these two gorgeous souls
As they make their lives one of two.
