[Intro plays]
I saw them across the road, walking together… with holding hands. The way he held her, the way they looked at each other, it seemed like they were more than just close friends…
I ran after them, and—
“Mmm… yeah”
I opened my eyes, greeted by the white ceiling right above me. The lights were out but the sunlight that gleamed through the closed window blinds was enough for me to see. I looked to my left and to my right, wondering where I was. I looked down and found out that I was laid down on a hospital bed, my right hand attached to the dextrose.
There was a clipboard placed on the desk to my right. I took it, impelled by the wonder of why I was there. I found my name on the first sheet and hurriedly read all the data that was recorded. Seven months!? I’ve been here for seven months!?
Then I thought about you – my boyfriend… my love. Where are you? Where have you been while I’m here? I- I need you… here with me. Please be with me right now.
“Oh, my love, my darling
I’ve hungered for your touch
A long, lonely time”
I remembered… the last time I was awake. I was ready to go home from work with him but I saw him with her, across the street. They were holding hands so tightly, their eyes looking so happily at each other. Just how could you do this to me? I love you… and you love me too, right?I’ve hungered for your touch
A long, lonely time”
“And time goes by so slowly
That time can do so much
Are you still mine?
Please… just come back to me.That time can do so much
Are you still mine?
I need your love
Yeah, I need your love
Godspeed your love to me”
A nurse entered the room in a sudden, and was surprised at the sight of me awake. She left with such a quick pace, calling for the doctor. But I didn’t care and was nearly oblivious to it. I just kept thinking of you.Yeah, I need your love
Godspeed your love to me”
“Lonely rivers flow to the sea,
To the sea,
To the open arms of the sea
Yeah”
Do you remember the first time we met? Your black faux hawk almost camouflaged in the darkness of the night, and my wavy dark blonde hair was well lit by the moonlight. You were taking a picture of two rivers that met in the sea. We both loved how the water splashed on the rocks, how alive it seemed. You were as vigorous when I first saw you, smiling so widely even though you weren’t the one whose picture was being taken.To the sea,
To the open arms of the sea
Yeah”
“Lonely rivers sigh
‘Wait for me, wait for me
I’ll be coming home
Wait for me’”
I just hope that you had more patience when our relationship went cold— when I went cold… when I was no longer worth your wait. I took it for granted that I still had your love when I blocked all your sweetness with my own wall of anxiety from work.‘Wait for me, wait for me
I’ll be coming home
Wait for me’”
The doctor finally came and was nearly hurrying his way towards me. He began checking my condition and I automatically answered the questions he asked me. For one moment, I looked at the doorway and pictured you standing there, holding a radiant bouquet of flowers, greeting me with a happy smile.
“Oh, my love, my darling
I’ve hungered, hungered
For your touch
A long, lonely time”
But is there still a possibility of you doing that? Will you even come here and visit? I know it was my fault but... I had faith in you.I’ve hungered, hungered
For your touch
A long, lonely time”
“Let’s go have dinner,” was what you said that one starless night, your smile was almost irresistible. You were waiting for me to come out of the building door like you used to do every weekday evening.
“I can’t… I’m tired, Dylan,” I said with an annoyed expression. “I just wanna go home.”
If only I had thought how hurt you felt every time I rejected your offer, if only I had remembered our very first kiss, that time when you set the calm to my trembling waters – when my work made the world feel so frustrating to me, perhaps… perhaps… I’d change my mind. If only…
“And then time goes by so slowly
That time can do so much
Are you still mine?”
You were always there… even though I always greeted you with irritation. You always remained there… even though I told you to go away. But now that you’re not here, I just wish that I can take all my words back.That time can do so much
Are you still mine?”
A few minutes later, visitors were coming, and I was getting extremely anxious to see your face once again.
“I need your love”
I saw my mom, her frown lines showing how worried she was for me…
“Yeah, I need your love”
I saw my dad, flashing his white teeth at me, happy that I was awake after seven long months…
“Godspeed your love”
I saw my younger siblings, shaking with excitement to be with me again…
“To me”
One moment… I saw you. And my heart literally skipped a beat. The discussions that my parents were already having with the doctor, the words my siblings said to me – they all fell into the background as you came nearing in, taking my breath away. Your brown eyes looked all golden to me.
After a sudden, I found myself trying to rise from the bed, but it was too late before I realized that I still couldn’t move my legs and fell down… But you caught me.
“Yeah”
We looked directly at each other’s eyes. Yours were still, but mine kept shaking, like they were looking for something in your eyes.
“I’m so sorry,” I began muttering. “Please forgive me for all the things I’ve done…”
“What?—”
“I’m sorry for not being fair with you. Please come back, please forgive me—” I continued until you tried to calm me.
“Hey, Haley. Haley,” you called my name… and said, “I am still yours.”
“Oh…”
You— you are still mine? I thought, as a tear gushed down my eye like a little river, washing all the misunderstandings away. And your golden eyes were the moon.
