A Step of Fantasy
Saturday, February 26, 2011

I walked home alone, tears in my eyes, but coupled with a smile.

I'm immensely grateful, and gratified for even a chance to live out the scenes of my daydreams; the ones of my everyday secrets. The painful feelings, that touch of humanity in me, it hurts more that it's real now, but I'm more than content that I actually got to experience it, feel it, live it.

Brings me back a decade, the elation, jumping and kicking from the excitement. I had friends for company, and everyone was contributing a part. I didn't need to be on the lookout for giving. Being able to relax, enjoy the moment as natural as I could. The interactions, the play, the exchanged smiles. The comfort I found in your presence. A happy kid, as easily amused as a game of tag at the neighbourhood playground.

Morning came and I expected the end. Until I casually asked if I could have you both over. You agreed. I was deliriously happy inside, as though it was my first time having friends over. Together on the couch, and I couldn't imagine how blessed I was, having two whom I could hold as friends, sitting snugly together. The tussles we had, resisting and stubbornly not giving despite being overpowered completely. Falling asleep together from fatigue. The htht we had, taking turns to cry.

And when time drew to a close, I couldn't bear to let go. All I wished if I could, was to return back to where we started, living the dream endlessly, even if it was only for a day. Everything felt so unreal, having both of you, together in embrace. When it was time to part, my heart bitterly fought against falling out of reality. My heart broke, as I watched the two of you slowly departed, like the ascension of angels.

I walked home alone, tears in my eyes, but coupled with a smile. It was time to wake up.

But I know in my heart, when I close my eyes and start to dream, there, I will find you waiting, and so shall we meet again.
Thank you Zhi Xiong, Thank you Hui Qi
