The ring

The ring that he slipped onto my hand on that particular birthday held me tight ever since that day.

It was not a proposal ring but a birthday gift 5th year into our courtship.

It was an unexpected move coming from him since he was not known to surprise me with gifts at any occasion.

What makes him summon the courage to walk into the jeweller to select a ring with his ring finger still baffles me till now.

It wasn't a spur of moment according to him since he took quite a while to save the monies with his NS pay.

I still remember him asking me to search his bedroom for my gift and he hid it in the upper cupboard though at a previous obvious spot.

The ring that looped my heart and make me follow the buyer faithfully since then.

The ring that till now still reminds me of the sweet memories of that day.

The ring that makes me realise how much I meant to him in a way that he never told me.

The ring that still can brighten up a shitty day just by looking at it.

This is the ring. Not an expensive one but it is priceless to me.
