sweet, sad memory...

i was riding the MRT* this afternoon and watched the commuters. i happen to chance upon a couple, the guy had his arm over his girl and the girl's head between that grove on the guy's head and shoulder-- she was breathing thru his neck.

i felt like crying while looking at them. it reminded me of you. how you put your arms around me that way, and how i usually close my eyes and breathe thru your neck. it reminded me of that time when we rode the LRT**. it was too full that we both crammed ourselves in. I stood beside you and had to put my right arm around your waist for balance. You put your other arm over my shoulder for balance too, and i had the shivers. After a few minutes, you held me closer, almost hugging me close. It felt so right, so natural. If people were watching us, they'd be so envious because we looked so sweet, smiling at each other, hugging-- we looked like we really loved each other very much. I felt so happy and giddy and loved.

and so i cried while watching that couple. only memories. sweet, sad memories. of you and me.
