Silent Lullaby

religious

'i want to take an ablution. let's perform prayer together, dear' you grasped my shoulder gently when you woke me up.

is this love, baby?

because i feel calmness instead of exhilaration whenever i'm with you. i truly appreciate what you've done, teaching me to be a person. maybe i'll never be pious like you but damn, i'll try my best. it's because of you who showed me the way.

the only way to truly feel and live as a human being with big heart & bigger dreams.

but baby, at this very moment, let me caress your skin; interwoven your fingers with mine. fell in love with me; when i kissed your eyebrows at night before you went to the dreamland.

'... you're uninvited. don't you dare take a glimpse in my dream,' you'll say jokingly.

and i'll tickle your earlobe with my kisses, asking you why.

'because whenever i see your face, i know i'm in the real world. you're real. we are real. my aspirations are real.'

'oh really? i want to see them come true. i want to be the witness, maybe one of your purposes too. one can only hope.'

you blinked your eyes slowly, a meaningful smile graced your lips.

i wonder what were you thinking about?
