Old Symphony

C16: His Heart to Hers

There's great darkness
In my world
With an emptiness
In my heart
And my life
Is just a mess.

A smile would cover
It all up,
Even laughters could
Mask my emotions
So I just wondered
Without melody.

'Twas when you looked at me
In my eyes,
Offered your hand,
And walked into my life
I became not just a melody
But a sweet symphony.

You are my symphony,
You gave me a rhythm
And this heart beats for you.
So my one and only song,
Please stay
And never walk away
Because you are my symphony.

There's not a dull
Moment with you
The happiness
that I show
Has always been
A genuine one.

Though darkness came
You're there for me,
My sweetest smile
Is now reserved
For the only you
My beautiful melody

'Twas when you looked at me
In my eyes,
Offered your hand,
And walked into my life
I became not just a melody
But a sweet symphony.

You are my symphony,
You gave me a rhythm
And this heart beats for you.
So my one and only song,
Please stay
And never walk away
Because you are my symphony.

You are my symphony
And you'll always be.
Please stay with me
Until eternity...
Forever we'll be each other's
sweet symphony.

After listening to Jake's recorded voice with the piano as an accompaniment, tears started to cloud Snow's vision.

She can't believe that she was able to hear the song that both of them worked on in the past, to which they also promised to produce one day, even telling him that she would come up with the best music video for their song.

She listened to the instrumental from the ipod as she read his letter once again. She planned to open the box when she gets back to America but something in her heart kept screaming for her to listen to it right then and there, in her seat inside the plane.

To the most beautiful song in my life,

Hello! Yes, I know. I make lame introductions whenever I write to you. And yes, I've been writing to you since we parted from the tragedy. But my troubled heart did not want to bother you so I threw them all away into the burning furnace.

Now that I found you or saw you in this second chance given to us, I plan to only make you smile. Who knows our time together would be so short. But still, I'm thankful for the chance. It may have started with a different tone but I guess our hearts are in sync that's why we were able to re-feel and find the right tune of the melody, which our fate created years ago.

Honestly, I've been waiting for you for all those years you've gone "mia" in my life. There would be days I would visit the place where we created the song. Did you know that the police wanted to remove the piano there after the tragedy ten years ago? Guess what I did. I begged them not to because I was hoping if you ever come up, it would be fun to revisit everything through the piano. I shouldn't have done that had I known you will get hurt because of that for the second time after ten years.

For the song that became a reason of our misunderstanding and "love confession" as well as our first tragedy, I kept it with me. I asked our good friend Andi to return it to me, maybe she didn't want to but when she saw my bruises, she felt pity. I don't really know and that wasn't really important. What matters is I was able to secure our original copy and I kept it with me through the years while I waited.

Now that you're back and your memories are back as well, I want to give you this as a token of everything we've been through for a decade. It's also my birthday gift to you, I know it would be tomorrow but you're leaving so I had to do something as I haven't done anything in the past for you.

Thank you for teaching me what beauty waiting does to people's life.

Thank you for bringing my smile back.

Thank you for being my symphony.

I hope this song...our song...would warm your heart.

I will never forget you, Wonnie, my love, my symphony.

The handsome out-of-tune of your life,
Akie

Snow tucked his letter close to her heart and cried for some time. Now that she gained every missing memory in her life, she realized what truly was the missing piece in her heart.

Through their song and through his letter, she was able to decide what would happen in the next chapter of her completed past and continuing present moving towards the unpredictable future.

She became sure of one thing.

And she knows it will always be connected to her "symphony."
