Reminiscence of a Day

All of sudden I woke up and forgot the dreams I just had.
In a blink of an eye, I saw the sunlight coming through the window.
I heard my dad watering the plants at the front yard. He always did.
My body was not willing to be moved, I chose to hid under the blanket.
Ah yes, I'd fall asleep for another hour,
then decided to wake up due to a certain TV show I always watched.
My dad came and asked, "What do you want for breakfast?"
I answered, "Anything."
He decided by himself and went outside.
There was nothing to do,
Ah, what a peaceful day.

I knew exactly what happened next.
When he didn't have anything to do,
he'd turn on the stereo,
picking one of the old CD collections from his era,
and started to hum the melody by his own, not knowing the lyrics.
"I know this song!"
And I hummed too.

"...Somewhere between your heart and mine

There's a window that I can't see through

There's a wall so high it reaches the sky

Somewhere between me and you..."

I know his favorite song.
I know his favorite food.
He loves to smile a lot even when he doesn't feel like it.
He never complaints even though he had to wake up early in the morning
and sleep late in the night.
He covers me with blanket in the middle of the night
when it gets cold and I


Now I'm typing behind my desk.
It's a pitch black night, I'm all alone.
Stressed out for a certain reason.
But, listening to these kinds of songs,
It brings back memories.
Ever feel like crying for nothing? I feel like a fool now.
But I realize that those days ain't coming back. Never.
This is just a reminiscence of a day.
