The Italian Wannabe by Aishah Kazman

The Italian Wannabe


Ciao, 
That's how it first started,
A simple 'Hi' four years back, 
I don't exactly remember why or how, 
But I'm glad it happened. 

Buongiorno, 
A morning routine, 
A simple text message, a reminder, 
Of how I am lucky to have you. 

Mi manchi, 
A random mid-day message,
Sometimes its coincidental, 
It feels special anyway,
Just like the first time. 

Buonanotte, 
Those long hours of night conversation, 
Where we shared our fears and our dreams, 
Sometimes I would ramble nonsense,
But you stayed anyway.

Mi amore, 
I cant express how grateful I am, 
To have you,
More than just a best friend,
More than just a lover.

You're the one.

The Italian Wannabe is a one shot writing while I was waiting for a class to start. I was texting him that morning and suddenly realized that despite being a hardcore Italian Motor GP fan, he only taught me these 5 Italian words. Ironic, but that's how we communicate on daily basis. This piece, reminds me of our special way of communicating for almost four years now. Its not perfect and I dont intend to make it perfect, to me all the imperfections reflects back to us as an individual and how we lead our relationship. Its a one shot thing anyway, its something what I would say to him on the spot if I have to.
