liyana,

‘I can be your dream catcher,’ you said. One very early morning.

I was wide awake from a horrible nightmare. I couldn’t remember the elaborate details. But there were some wild animals in it and someone I know from work that I had a petty discord with few days before. Maybe office politics went a bit too serious, I supposed.

I had roused you from sleep for no apparent reason.

Though you tried to comfort me, I was still heaving against the softness of your breast. Still reeling from the adrenaline that woke me.

You had to go to work early tomorrow. So I tried to stay calm.

Gazing over your shoulder, the city light was a little subdued at this hour through the window pane behind you. The traffic was pretty quiet but I could still hear one or two throaty engines ramming down the street of KL in a distant. My breathing became slower. Regular.

I was listening to the soft breath you took as you fall asleep.

It calmed me down a little.

But my eyes were wide open. The images were still vivid. I tried blinking to get rid of it.

That stirred you. 

You kissed me. And put your hand over my eyes.

liyana, it is just not possible for me to imagine my days without you. my nights too.

Such universe does not exist, where I never desire you.
