All that i need
After an afternoon of binging in front of the tele, i decided that i needed to run.
And run i did... all the way to East Coast Park.
Past kids on tricycles, couples holding hands, frens having bbqs, families clustered over tables filled with sumptious seafood...
Past the slope that i fell down while blading with bernard, the humps that he tried to perform stunts over to make me laugh...
Past the patch of grass where my uni class played games during our first outing, the chalets we used to go in secondary school...
(it seemed like much of our lives can be chronicled in that area!)
Sizzling meats and roasted marshmallows wafting thru the air, radios blasting and people laughing.
I stopped at the seafood centre and stood in front of the waters, evening breeze cooling my face. searching thru the crowds for something.
stared at the waves lapping against the shore, the very same waves that gives life and takes away.
even with all the crowds behind me, music in my ears, and displays of fighter jets stunts in preparation for NDP, i felt incredibly alone...
closed my eyes and let all the guys in my life flash thru my mind's eye... and one came up from behind me. as i opened my eyes to look harder at him, he disappeared.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Please let me hear your voice again
Let me hear you say your love will never end
That whatever it takes you'll be there
When I say
You are all that I need
The only treasure I see
You're the air that helps me breathe
through the darkest night
When I fall down on my knees

Hi Grace,
i'm someone who happen to passby your blog. my deepest condolences to your loss. i could feel the geniune love you both shared. glad you're gaining your smile back. you've been very brave and strong, keep it going. :)
my sister is someone who happen to read your blog too. Like you, she lost her deepest love and it's only about a month ago. she is trying hard to live her life and it hurts to see her sad.
i believe it gives her strength reading up your blog for you understand better what she's going through.
i've got a little favour to ask from you. my sister maintain a blog as well, i hope you could drop by and give her some encouragements. i believe it meant a lot to her.
please don't feel any pressure because of the favour. if you fear it will trigger your deepest pain again, it's ok to give the favour a miss. i seriously don't wish to see you hurt again. i want you to smile as well because you look great with that on.
still, i thank you for giving her strength.
jia you, grace! :)
