The color of monsoon

There are those moments, that one single moment which you remember. I have a terrible memory but then there are these triggers that suddenly light up a part and I am taken back.

I was looking at some random things on Pinterest and then suddenly I see this poster of Beauty and the Beast (the Disney movie). You would think it would remind me of a love story but what it reminded me of was sitting in the Block 13 balcony in the monsoons. I would sit there for minutes and hours watching cars passing by. In the monsoon the whole city would be a shade of blue. There would be a slight smog/fog (I don't know what to call it) that made the city a bit hazy when you looked from the balcony. To tell you the truth I don't remember what I used to think of but I remember the colour. And the Beauty and the Beast poster had the same shade. Something so comforting.

Mushy me

I can't believe I haven't written anything this year! Shame on me!

But just to make it up, I am writing my feelings right here, right now. 

It's almost midnight and maybe I don't make much sense and I am getting sentimental. I was listening to some songs and I stumbled upon this one on my playlist.  It's the song I crooned to when it was released. I had sung this full throttle much to my mom's despair. I had always dreamed of and hoped to find someone I could sing this to. And I found Him.

I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
While you're far away and dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure
Don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream would never do
I'd still miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
Lying close to you feeling your heart beating
And I'm wondering what you're dreaming,
Wondering if it's me you're seeing
Then I kiss your eyes and thank God we're together
And I just wanna stay with you
In this moment forever, forever and ever
I don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream would never do
I'd still miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
I don't wanna miss one smile
I don't wanna miss one kiss
Well, I just wanna be with you
Right here with you, just like this
I just wanna hold you close
I feel your heart so close to mine
And just stay here in this moment for the rest of time, yeah, yeah, yeah!
Don't wanna close my eyes
Don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream would never do
I'd still miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
I don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream would never do
and I'd still miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
Don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep, yeah
I don't wanna miss a thing
I don't wanna miss a thing
