:: Truth ::

Truth.

In every facet i finally know the relevance and relativity between your name and the very moment we chose to be a part of each other.

I dreamt of you.

That's definitely something that hasn't happened in a long time.

Something stirred up in the great reflective dream pool to conjure this.... immortal memory i have of you. Of us.

I dreamt... i finally regained what i lost in the first place - and i finally made up for all that was lacking between us - for us. I dreamt we were happy. I dreamt we were in a place that bothered us no more than the love we held itself.

Then suddenly in the dream i had my first stagnant feel of the situation.

We shared a few problems - and it felt like 2000 and 2001 again. I remembered your house.

I looked in my hand and in between the index and middle lay a lit cigarette.

I'd never smoke around you.

You were unhappy.

Your mom came around - and i saw a visage of your dad behind a sliding glass door.

Your mom came in and didn't say a single thing.

I left the house. I left you.

















.... and then i woke up.

The truth of having lost you 4 or 5 years ago still affects me til now.


*Added later

I still find it funny how i always think about New Years' at the end of 2000. I remember Sentosa - that single morning spent just you and me on that beach with noone to bother us, and how we secretly both wished for it to never end.

I still keep the letters you wrote. I still keep the pink cylinder with the rolled up letters.

I still keep the cat.
