We were never invisible
Of hands that entwined together, of touch that is almost too gentle and fragile.
Almost as easy as throwing and smashing glasses on the floor. Just for the fun of it. Put the bits of glasses on a plate. Now eat them. Watch TV. Talk to it. Response, talk again. Punch the wall. Punch again. Punch a dream. Pull back, come forward.
Go back and forth again. Take the wrong bus. Get stranded. Be poor. Be rich, then be poor again. And of love, battle, bad, scars, tears, weddings, pain, sickness, smiles and heartaches. They are now beautiful. Embrace and back into the deep. Whisper to my ear. Scribble on a paper. Play with crayons. Hang it to the wall. Go out. Tell someone they're beautiful. Walk away. Go to the forest. Talk to the trees. Go near the lake. Splash some cold water on your face. Shut your eyes. Feel me. Breathe with me. Carry me. Laugh a lot. Hold hands. Lie down. Kisses on the forehead. Look up to the stars then look at each other again. Kiss again. Go underneath the blanket. Held each other closely. Roll over a few times. Hugs tightly. Be quiet. Be loud. Cry, smile and cry again. Hugs from behind. Stay. A little closer, but not too close. Just stay. Throw me into the dark, throw me into the light. Run. Faster, I said faster this time. Dance like the bright shadows. Throw me higher, up and higher. Drive like the speed of sound and light. Don't look back. Just keep driving. Fast, fast. Faster! Hit the accelerator harder! Listen to my silent, you will hear my voice. Throw a flying kiss. Have a nightmare. Sleep now, wake up in 5 minutes. Run downstairs. Cook your own meal. Get undress. Stay in the bathtub. Go back to sleep again. Cut your own hair. Grow them longer and cut it again. Write letters. Fall in love, fall out of love. Fall again. Get married. Get divorce. Get married again. Be patient and angry at the same time. Change your mind. Change it again. Ride on a bicycle. Eat lots of ice cream. Go to markets. Have a picnic after that. Jump and swim in the deepest ocean. Swim like a mermaid. Swim till you're exhausted. Touch the sand. Fold hundreds of paper stars. Put them in a bottle. Throw them back into the ocean. Say a prayer. Walk under the rain. Drink hot Milo. Eat Kuih Lapis. Look out the window. God is smiling.
