I Feel You Linger In The Air Novels & Stories

Twinkle twinkle little star How I wonder what you are Up above the world so high Like a diamond in the sky Jiwa itu melayang, di antara ruang hampa tanpa batas. Tak ada apapun di sana, hanya kegelapan total yang melingkupi. Bunyi nyanyian sayup-sayup terdengar, membuat si jiwa membuka mata yang sejak awal terpejam. Tubuhnya ringan, seolah tak memiliki bobot sama sekali. Padahal dia merasa sebaliknya, susah sekali menggerakkan badan, baginya dirinya terasa berat.

Langit bergetar lembut, seperti kain tipis yang disentuh angin. Dari arah barat, muncul bayangan-bayangan samar, seperti refleksi wajah-wajah manusia yang tidak kukenal.

Please tell me Why do birds Sing when you're near me Sing when you're close to me They say that I'm a fool For loving you deeply Loving you secretly But I crash in my mind Whenever you are near Getting deaf, dumb and blind Just drowning in despair I am lost in your flame It's burning like the sun And I call out your name The moment you are gone Please tell me Why can't I Breathe when you're near me Breathe when you're close to me I know you know I'm lost

T Was there a lifetime waiting for us In a world where I was yours? Paper planes and porcelain Smell of rain through the window pane And the sight of you Oh, you were a good dream (Ben & Ben - Lifetime) Remember that weekend When we got out of town Drove into infinity, I held you ‘til you fell asleep Without you The smell of your perfume Reminds me of when we were free I swear that it’s still haunting me Leaves fall from the tallest trees Even mountains crumble into the sea Holding on to memories

Dunia tidak lagi terasa seperti dunia. Udara menjadi tipis—not secara fisik, tetapi secara makna.
