My Romantic Other Half

 

 

Fragment: My Romantic Other Half

 

After leaving the gathering, in the car he played some songs. The first song was "I love you this much" by Maggie McNeal. Owh, the song reminded me of my junior high school time, this was one song I memorized in order to get more vocabulary. Well, we were around the same age, it is understandable then if we both knew some old songs. He sang along together while McNeal's voice filled the air in the car. Wow. I remember one time he said that he was not confident to sing because his voice was just so so. But, he sang! Hearing his voice singing made me smile.

 

The second song was "Together in electric dream" by Philip Oakey. Aha! He knew that song! I first heard this song when I was in senior high school, my brother introduced that song to me. This time, I sang along together. Hearing me singing, he asked, "oh, you know this song?" I nodded, "Yes, sure," said I; then we sang together.

 

He drove the car in a 'normal' speed, not too fast, not to slowly either. The traffic was not that crowded, a perfect situation.

 

The third song was "Take my hand for a while" by Glenn Campbell. It was followed by "The Way of Love" by Clifford T. Ward. This one was not familiar to me. I tried paying attention to the lyric. (He said that before loving a certain song, he would pay to the attention the lyric first.)

 

You will know when love has come

For all the world will smile for you

And more than anything you'll try

To keep this love so true

 

You will know the feeling well

She's everything your dreams have made

But in so doing she may turn

For dreams are known

 

I was speechless. Apparently those four songs were all love songs! And out of the blue something came to my mind, a feeling that he prepared those special songs in the player, to listen to together with me, while we were on the way somewhere.

 

Perhaps he saw my dumbfounded facial expression, so he asked me, "Are you sleepy?"

 

"No, not at all. i drank coffee before. I filled this tumbler with cappuccino, you know."

 

"I see."

 

"But can I ask you something?"

 

"Sure."

 

"Did you prepare this special playlist with those love songs to listen to together with me?" I was not sure, actually. Was he that romantic? He didn't seem to be romantic person to me.

 

To my surprise, he answered, "yes. For you. Well, you know, I have never been a romantic person before. But to you, I don't know, it just felt so natural."

 

Wow! Absolutely he made me feel like I was flying in sky, without wings!

 

"Oh baby, I love you!" wish I could whisper this to his ear, but I was shy to directly say this to him, in our first date, although we have said the magical sentence to each other many times before.

 

Falling in love is awesome! The one we fall for returns our feeling is a miracle!
