Lost Sight, Found Strength

The path is so dark and dim, but Julie keeps walking. She is scared, yet her adrenaline makes her look back several times, urging her to walk faster with each step. She wonders why she can't move faster and then realizes it's just her thoughts getting wilder the longer she's on the road. She shouldn't have chosen this path—terrified and confused. She's already halfway through. It sucks. The only way is to adapt, over time. She has one more block, two more, and again she convinces herself it's just one more step to her destination. She's no longer afraid when she starts looking at the sky instead of the road. The evening feels scarier when it's right in front of our eyes, but when it's above, the stars are beautiful. The cold air on her skin feels warmer as her mind grows calmer. Gently, she realizes that she's no longer worried. In fact, she's arrived, in no time. -- I think loneliness comes from the mind. It's not about being surrounded ...

Do you know why it's hard to say goodbye? Because we afraid if our memories might not be able to remember them, rightly. The fact is, goodbye means good. No matter how hard.
~Aurora Esterlia

Are They Worth?

Those who go nameless. Those who will not be remembered. Those who never got an answer. Those who are suspended. Those who are imprisoned. Those who have no future. Those who are cowards. They are living mute witnesses.

Beginning and Then

At first I just sat alone Then you sit with me At first I started copying Then you follow it At first my name was called Then you hide from me At first I admitted it Then you trick me At first I was ashamed of myself Then you laugh at me At first I returned to me chair Then you're gone without me

What Cost Me

 I fell fast asleep. Then, I heard birds chirping. Slowly I opened my eyes. I still feel heavy. But I can see around me. He fell asleep in the chair right next to the bed. I kept holding his hand all night. He woke up. "...water." I say. He immediately helped me sit on the bed and he gave me a drink. I drank a lot of water. I smiled at him and he gave me another drink. I drank the water until it was gone. "Alright. Enough." "You're dehydrated. You need to drink a lot." "How do you know?" "I just know the doctor gave you a lot of medicine and you must be dehydrated. You need to drink a lot." "Good." He gave me another glass of water. I drank it all over again. "You drink it until it spills. Your lips are smudged...." he said.  His hand touched my lips.  We didn't know what we were doing. Our faces were so close, we unconsciously kissed. I laughed and immediately pushed him, "Enough." "No." ...

Away from Me

The song starts playing. The dance began. I can't think of how this dance should be done. I just looked at him.  Tonight might just be like this. Maybe this affair will all end tonight. "You will leave me." I don't know why I said that when we danced. "Yes." He answered. "Take me with you." He looked at me. The dance was quite difficult. We turned around and changed partners. We just looked at each other from afar. Until he finally came back to me. "You are going to leave me." he said. "I'm not." "I am not yours." I know. I knew from the start, he didn't have to reveal it. We kept on dancing until I felt nauseous.  We parted again.  This time I was like a very strong dizziness. If I don't pull over, I might fall. I quickly pulled over and walked out of the dance hall. It's always like this. I walk alone at the hallway. "Where did you go?" He immediately picked me up.  "Let me go." I ...

A Goodnight Sleep

When it's finally end of the evening, He accompanied me to my bedroom door. "Have a good night sleep or You will fall in front of the Queen." I fixed his collar . I kissed his cheek, before we parted. I entered my bedroom. I immediately walked to the dressing table. I took off all the jewels and hair clips.  Suddenly I saw a shadow's reflection in the mirror. I turned around.  He was standing behind me just by the door and somehow locked the door, slowly came to me.  He immediately lifted me onto the bed. He kissed me. "If you were tired, you should have told me." I didn't answer. I felt guilty to lie to him.  "Go to sleep. I won't bother you." He sleeps beside me and hugs me. I really fall in love with him. I woke up in the morning and he wasn't there anymore.  Am I dreaming?

Explain to Me

 I was with him all day and all he did was reply to the conversations I brought up.  "This whole ball exhausted me." The Old Lady bragged about her own ball party tonight in the Ritz. I'm just here as a niece trying to give the best smile because it's her party. And he always sits across from me. I sat there wanting to have it. I only wanted to try it once. Even though he can't be mine. "I must go back to my room tonight." I say to everyone. They let me out of the party. I found myself continuing to walk up the circular staircase leading to the Ritz lobby. Someone held my hand from behind. My gloved hands. Even though I only see his big hand that is grabbing mine, if only I take off my gloves when He could hold my hand. "What must I do if I can't be with you?" His whisper made me want to turn around, but I couldn't. My feet kept stepping down the stairs, carrying me away.  Then He held my hand. "What are you doing?" I wanted t...
