If I would ever Care..

Every morning when I passed by her, she would give me that look. A sweet silent smile from afar. It was like watching an 8-year-old kampung girl being curious and looking every move that you were making. I would shout a HI! and then she would turn red and shy. So cute and innocent.

He was an egoistic man. He wanted everything to be done his way. He thought he was all the time right. But when it came between him and me, he could only give me a boring glance when he was out of words when reasoning with me. He would ultimately listen to me. But at times, I would just please him by agreeing with whatever stories he made. Though he looked stern outside, he was afraid to sleep alone, hehe.

When I held her hand, she would tell me all the pain she had. When I pat her shoulder, she would release a loud cry and hold my hand closer. She's like a baby. When I said, ok ok, she would pretend to cry a little. When I ignored her, she would go to sleep.

He saw me from afar, he would call out for me. I couldn't miss out on this cos he was all the time trying to catch my attention. He spoke in Hokkien and Cantonese even though he was not a Chinese. Everyone would look at us as if we were neighbours in Chinatown.

The night came, she would yell. She was paranoid that people were not treating her well. When I was around, she would pull me aside and tell me her personal stories. She had an uplifting soul as she smiled to me all the time. She made me feel that I was part of everything. But she left without me noticing but I'd always know, someone is looking after her.

Sometimes I wonder if these people I met now would come back into my life once again. They are really elderly people with many many stories kept behind their lil closet. Though time is against them in this world, I do believe there will be one fine peaceful place, where once again we will be meeting again.

Perhaps, they will show me a smile and hold my hands like how I held theirs. Perhaps, they would listen to me like how I'd listened to them. Perhaps, they would cover me in warm blanket like how I'd cover them. Do the same to others, and they'll do the same to you :o)
