Letter for the Moon - The Beginning

Dear Man on the Moon...


This is my first time writing to you. I just felt like talking to you tonight. It just seemed like the best thing to do in the middle of the night, while everyone else are dreaming away in la la land.

I've just finished watching a great drama on TV, Surat Untuk Bulan, which had inspired me to write this letter to you. Even though the character in the drama seemed a lil' wacko for a sexy, beautiful girl, I kinda understand the feeling that she felt after being able to let out her feelings to you when she has no one else to turn to. It must have been some kind of therapeutic way to release her sadness, happiness, anger and etc.

Hence, I'm trying out her technique because I am curious if this letter will help me feel better. Actually, there is nothing much for me to say in this letter for now. I am not all sad but I am not all ecstatic either. I shall say that I am perhaps in between those two extremes.


Man on the Moon...

Have you ever felt like you are alone in this world, even though you are surrounded by family and friends? I bet you have never been alone because you are always surrounded by the Air, the Clouds and the Stars. There are times when the loneliness feeling just embraces me that leaves me feeling empty and alone. I can't help myself but to dwell in the moment and starts feeling sorry for myself.

I know that it is bad to feel that way. However, when faced with such situation, my heart and emotions tend to take the front seat while my brain decides to take the day off. Maybe that is just the pathetic me, feeling sorry for myself. Please.. please.. please Man on the Moon.. please make this feeling go away...

No, I don't think finding myself a partner will solve the problem straight away. Plus, I don't wanna be seen as a desperate person and just grab the first person that comes my way. Things are not that simple, right? However, it is not that complicated either. (Now I'm starting to sound like a wacko myself)...

I know I should have faith in Allah. I do.. I truly do. However, I really need some guidance from Him in order to show me the right path. I need help from you too, Man on the Moon. I need you to shine your brightest and lead me to the right path for I am now blindly walking in the dark without any direction...

I guess I'll stop here for now. This will not be my last letter to you for I really feel good talking to you, Man on the Moon. Talking is always good, but I wish that we could have done it over a cup of Rhumba though (pun intended). If you ever decided to come down for a visit, I promise to treat you for a Rhumba, ok. I can guarantee that you'll never regret it and even perhaps will come down more frequent after the addiction starts to kick in *winks*.

Till the next full moon... take care.


Lots of love,

Binx

Dream of Me

Let me sleep
For when I sleep I dream that you are here
You're mine
And all my fear is left behind
I float on air
The nightengale sings gentle lullabies
So let me close my eyes...

And sleep, the chance to dream
So I can see the face
I long to touch to kiss
But only dreams can bring me this
So let the moon shine
Softly on the boy I long to see
And maybe when he dreams
He'll dream of me.

I hide beneath the clouds
And whisper to the evening stars
They tell me love is just a dream away...
Dream away...
A dream away.

So let the moon shine
Softly on the boy I long to see
And maybe when he dreams...
He'll dream of me.
