have you heard a song that starts without any lyrics? have you tried to connect it in your life? or with the thoughts that run through your head? i've been lonely and felt so bored these days. random thoughts are common to me whenever i weirdly feel to escape reality. i am currently in a cafe, taking my fifth coffee for the day. as i sip my drink, a lot of ideas comes in my mind for my new project. i am a music composer and an unknown musician. i've been singing for six years since i was in my senior high. at first it was just a simple hobby, but then, people change their mind, i continued and take it as my career as well. aren't i cool for making my hobby as my career?
while i'm writing down my ideas, a familiar figure caught my attention. she's wearing long black square pants, fitted white shirt, and a pair of rubber shoes. it was simple but it still caught me looking at her. as she was eyeing what drink she will take, i can't help but to be mesmerized by her beauty. at this moment, memories from yesterday plays in my mind.
"one iced chocolate mocha, please." she says with a full sweet smile and handed her card.
as soon as i heard her, i pulled myself together and came back with what i was doing before i saw her. however, my mind can't focus and still want to watch her and reminisce about the memories that i left a long time ago. a memory that i regret it happened until today. while trying to find the concentration that i had not so long ago, a person sit besides me.
"i guess, i may sit here? there's no vacant seat aside from this one, may i join you?" she asked wearing her prettiest smile again.
"i.... i guess so? y-yeah, yes, you may." i said, stuttering.
she stifles a laugh and shakes her head before sitting down beside me. if i'm going to answer my question a while ago, maybe this moment is the perfect prelude of my music. it starts with the sound of this current situation, awkward and nostalgic. when the seconds pass by, maybe the first line will be:
'how have you been? it's been a long time since we parted ways.' i thought.
"how have you been? it's been a long time since we parted ways." she said while softly staring at me.
