1995.

A VERY SPECIAL DAWN.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

♫♪♫♪ How deep is your love

How deep is your love

I really need to learn

'Cause we're living in a world of fools bringing us down

When they all should let us be

We belong to you and me ♫♪♫♪

With that song still stuck in her head, she rushed to her dressing room. Too quick she thought no one noticed her. She was feeling so down, her heart filled with despair. And as the words came rushing back to her:

♫♪♫♪ And you come to me on a summer breeze

Keep me warm in your love

And then softly leave ♫♪♫♪

...she broke down. Leaning her back on the door, she fell on her knees in a slow motion. It was like a certain scene one would see in soap operas. She hugged herself, now with tears of melancholy cascading. And as she wrapped her arms around her own body, which was trembling at the moment, her memory made her feel her man's touches all over again.

They sang together too close that his skin left some scent on her. Then she cried even harder when she remembered how their two kisses felt like. Doing it slowly yet again, she bit her lips, she bit them, as if asking whether or not the taste was real. Then it was the arms that she recalled, her man's arms wrapped around her only a few moments ago. And again, the lyrics echoed all over the place:

♫♪♫♪ 'Cause you're my savior when I fall

And you may not think I care for you

When you know down inside

That I really do ♫♪♫♪

With the memories still vivid in her mind, she knew it was in that line when she pointed at his heart. And while doing so, she admitted, she made sure she did it to send a message. Obviously, it was done with a little force, only to emphasize how much a heartbreak the whole thing was. And as those little acts bothered her recollection, she couldn't help but shed more tears. She was screaming in silence, fighting the battle by herself.

♫♪♫♪ And it's me you need to show

How deep is your love ♫♪♫♪

**********

♫♪♫♪ I know your eyes in the morning sun

I feel you touch me in the pouring rain

And at the moment that you wander from me

I wanna feel you in my arms again ♫♪♫♪

I wanna feel you in my arms again, he thought as he stood next door. The same memory kept rushing in. He could recall the lovely face he held in his arms not too long ago, and how their bodies loved each other's touches, and how their lips felt home with each other, and how fast their heartbeats were everytime they stood too close.

And as he admitted how much he missed that same woman he loved with all his heart, he took some steps forward and closer to the next room. Of course he knew she was there, still feeling that connection they have always had. More steps, some more, and more, until he was almost there. But some music stopped him from moving, almost paralyzing him:

♫♪♫♪ And you come to me on a summer breeze

Keep me warm in your love

And then softly leave ♫♪♫♪
