Those three words

The dark olive threads that hanged on my door was a reminder of how much I wanted you, I wanted it, wanted you. Of how much I desired to be loved, to love.

I’ve been playing Snow Patrol’s Chasing Cars on repeat now, it’s one of the only few songs capable of evoking so much emotion with its music so simple, its lyrics so short, yet so beautiful. Funnily enough, despite having the song on my hard disk for some time, and even burned it randomly to listen while driving, it was only after a mamak session three days ago on Saturday, that when this song was playing, Jess and Suet sang along to the chorus softly that I only took notice of it since then.

Suet was saying how she wanted to lie down at the Court 8 park and simply sing songs out loud, which was so iridescently vivid as the chorus to Chasing Cars:

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

That last line grits me.

I’m yearning for a change of routine, I’m yearning for simple adventures to even the nearest places like KL which no one seems want to join, I’m yearning for someone to talk to.

Sometimes, beneath my carefully constructed fa?ade lies a person with an incredible wish to stop living solitarily anymore. I’m tired of sleeping on a queen-sized bed so large with only a bolster to replace a human being.

I love that last line of the chorus so much - because it was affectingly true of my own personal request - I quickly came up with the new banner for the blog. Of a snowglobe of an island with trees from Kate Atkinson’s book Not the End of the World’s cover, that if you stare at the beautiful snowglobe atop what looked like an illuminated sofa, you’d forget all worries of the world.

Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
