Chapter I - Sunset
Sandcastles,
We created glamour sandcastles near the shore,
as if we were orthodox architects,
building brick by brick with patience and hopes,
well,
sunset, flying birds, waving coconut trees, and rippling waves...they had beautified that tropical scenery.
The bucket was unfortunately unused.
And water was not worth the glue,
We even didnt have the sketch,
But it's okay we did it manually and spontaneous.
Let her hand sharpen its shape and corners, and let me work at decoration :
doors,
windows,
watchtowers,
the halls,
and a wide garden.
Then voila, we had it done.
I told her to make a king and queen to live in it, and sure she nodded her head.
I pulled her hand and asked her to find one.
She just kept staring at me.
In silece when sun went reddish and set itself down.
I knew,
her eyes meant it anyway.
===================
Chapter II - promise
Taking her back home, after the sunset.
I could see her shadow under the streetlight.
Still, smiling warm.
I had no idea why she kept replying my sight with her big eye and blushing cheek.
Didnt she think it was a moment to remember?
Seven in the night,
standing right in front of her house.
Couldnt face it alone
couldnt face it alone, but
if she could see,
if only she could see how bad i was at adieu, my skin wouldnt be that blue.
But who knew if she suddenly pulled my hand, took me to the porch and let me sit.
No words coming out,
no special things to talk about
I started seeing stars hiding, left full moon alone
moon shone so,
moon still shone so
i promised her not to let her alone,
she didnt laugh
as if she knew it was not made to be a crack of joke
i held her hand.
she replied
saying "I guess I'll see you tomorrow?"
wind blew at nine
i went back home,
there was no goodbye
just walked away, but her hand kept waving at me.
funny but i never bored seeing her face somehow
======================
Chapter III - bold and grey
had lived in together,
not in the same roof but in same feeling.
Thought that she had been around for long, comfy but i didnt know why.
On that day
it wasnt meant to be only sunny
white wasnt meant to be alone
there's rain,
there's black...
There was blue
she stood there,
waiting on the corner of the street
put an unfamiliar curve on her face.
Still i was trying to throw a ton of smiles
as i ran toward her, but the curve wasn't just flipped,
no but a face full of denial.
Anger was hid behind the straight face she made.
No good points to make a reason
to find a way back to the season.
I just got my face down
down, got my face down
...
A thunder surprised
we looked at each other
i saw her eyes gently, again, it melted whole things instead
Cloud, why at that moment sky acted so cliche?
Teardrops tried to fulfill the land
glad she accepted when i put my coat on her shoulder, it suited her well
as she held my hand and let it be unwet
"would you catch me when i fall?"
Cloud, why at that moment sky acted so cliche?
Then teardrops tried to fulfill the land
As if they all knew the theme,
understood the colour of...
Circumtance.
Bold and grey
it's bold and grey
========================
Chapter IV - Moon melodia
after rain in eight,
still she wore my wet coat
her puppy eyes stared at me
for a moment
drew she something
around my cheek with her pointfinger
as lines and curves became letter
as letters became word
as words became sentence
a familiar sentence,
she ended sketching on my face, realizing how cold my skin was
"no, dont drop it..."
another rain fell down,
it was hers
tear it away, i tried to tear it away gently
we were wither in night
as promise would come real
a purpose was asked,
while sky was singing moon melodia
a view of lake reflected moon perfectly
noise of the crickets were the only sound left in the land
wind blew, wind comb her hair,
"keep my word" i said
as promise would come real
a purpose was asked,
while sky was singing moon melodia
my palm held her hip,
her hands were around my neck
it was tight, holding hers felt like live in dream forever
and sky wasnt singing moon melodia
alone anymore
========================
Chapter V - shore at dawn
"i dont know why, but i feel safe when you are around..."
"then how do you feel if i can make you free a thousand feet off the ground?"
"it rhymes, around-ground...funny"
"guess you like it"
"no, i mean...can you really do it?"
"what?"
"fly me?"
"up up and away?No i am not a superman"
"..."
"but i am more than him"
"oh really?...Try me"
"..."
"...What? Why are you just smiling?...Fly me!"
"fine. Now, gimme your hand and close your eyes...Let me carry you"
"ookay anything you want me to do, mr.Copperfield..."
"..."
"hey!"
"hahaha, silly you"
"gee, never do that again! now put me down..."
"hahaha, did i scare you?"
"why ask?"
"umh, nevermind...so how do you think about tonight?"
"what do you mean?"
"skies, stars, moonlight...isn't it quite perfect?"
"it's pretty cold too"
"agree"
"hey, i wonder how our sandcastle is now"
"wanna see it?"
"would you mind? It's three o'clock anyway"
"no, that's fine...My ride?"
"let's just take a walk"
"ookay, anything for you, my queen"
=============================
a long sigh fulfilled the atmosphere, she and i saw nothing but a pile of sand hit by waves. She had no space left to breathe, i could feel it, we lost our sandcastle, the king and the queen.
No
===============================
"we didnt lost anything"
"what?"
"they just moved into reality"
"..."
========================
Chapter VI - morning
i am rejecting
whole thing
it's been two weeks since the last time i saw her,
the bay,
her house,
dimmed street,
silent bridge,
i have been searching for them
funny, it's like they leave no trace in my brain where they are really located at
my friends all said i was lost in a rare syndrome,
i dont know, clueless,
i could feel her existence,
she was nameless,stranger.
I'm getting tired of remembering,she took something with no trace left.
no,
my sanity keeps remain in
i have been sober,
now I start asking
"is it a lucid dream?"
I cant quite remember each scenes but i could feel the sand thru my hand,
the raindrops on the corner of the street,
the cold at the middle dawn,
a laughter, happy feeling
with her
i pinch my cheek, punch the wall,
It hurts.
Now i really dont know the boundary beetween dream and reality
waking up myself
i am clearly awaken
now
======================
Chapter VII - A Greeting
door knocked
i go downstairs slowly
slowly
i dont need anyone to see
nor sitting right beside me
coz theres something empty
empty
if theres anyone can tell me
open the door
a familar face
she smiles, as warm as it seems
now i have flashback for some seconds of the sunset, promise, fight, bay at dawn....
She is her,
yes, the one ran thru my dream
================================
"can...Can i help you?"
"hi, i am your new neighbour...You can call me the girl next door"
"hahaha, so this girl next door has a name?"
"what will you do if i say 'lois lane'?Will you say your name is 'superman'?"
"..."
"what went wrong with your face, does my face remind you of someone?"
"sorry for asking, but have we met before?"
"no, i moved from far far away...But your face looks so familiar somehow"
"really?"
"uh nevermind...Soo...do you like cookie?"
