Reminiscence

Still awake at this time isn't a good thing. It makes me recall back all my memories. Just like now, thinking back those were the days. I was surfing for a song on youtube and it came across my eyes, Jay Chou's song,七里香. Why? Why this song?

There was this night when we both sitting side by side facing our laptop. I was playing some brainless online games while he was preparing for his resume and cover letter. With a serious look on his face it means I can not disturb him. I was getting bored so I searched on youtube for some songs and it came across my eyes, this Jay Chou's song. With just a click, this song played for an hour. Just like that, sitting side by side, listening to the song, turn to each other once in awhile, give a smile or a little pinch then continue back facing our laptop. Without realising, my head was on his shoulder, eyes closed, the song breaks the silent night. At that moment, I never felt more secure and comfortable to be next to him. After few minutes of my head lying on his shoulder, he touched my face and whispered, "It's late. You're tired. Off everything and head to bed."

I turned to him and said, "No! I want to play games still! You off to bed, need to up early to call the company." Like an obedient small kid, he listened and does exactly what I said. Off he goes to bed, I continue with those brainless online games. The song goes on. Few minutes later, I heard some piggy sounds, turn to take a look at him. "He is really tired." That's what I said to myself. I turned off the song then my laptop and slowly crawl onto bed, covered myself with the red blanket up to my neck. With a very slow yet gentle movement, I place my head on his chest meanwhile trying to look for his hand. Listening to his heart beat, holding his hand, the same feeling comes back again. Never felt so secure and comfy before. His snoring is like a lullaby to me, by listening I feel like I was floating and within a minute.....I was soundly asleep.

The next morning, half awake half floating I heard something very familiar. Opened my eyes and saw him sitting next to me with laptop on his lap, he greeted me with a very warm morning kiss. I smiled at him, trying to concentrate on the familiar sound. It's that song! ! But how come? How come he plays on this song? I looked at him and before I open my mouth to ask, he said, "Last night we were listening to this song, you seem to like it very much. Me too, I like it. The rhythm of this song is very soothing, although I don't understand what the lyrics mean but I don't think this is a sad song. I tried to search on youtube and surprisingly I found it. Smart huh? I'm proud of myself! hahahahaha..." I laughed and yeah he is pretty smart to be able to find this song without knowing a single chinese word.

It all comes back to this song,七里香. I wanted to listen to the song but I don't dare to play it on. He is not here with me. I scared I will cry when the song play. That was the night. Indulge in reminiscence of this song. Those were the days.
