Looking Back

Chapter 23: Thank You

My tea's gone cold; I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all

The morning rain clouds up my window and I can't see at all

And even if I could it'd all be gray, but your picture on my wall

It reminds me that it's not so bad

It's not so bad

***

I sighed as I sat down and stared at the pouring rain in front of me. My stomach was aching a bit, and I felt really sick, as if this day wasn't as bad already. I had spent practically the whole morning in the bathroom, puking on what seemed like everything. And for some reason I wasn't in the best of moods. I felt terrible, upset, in a way. More like depressed...

***

I drank too much last night, got bills to pay

My head just feels in pain

I missed the bus and there'll be hell today

I'm late for work again

And even if I'm there, they'll all imply that I might not last the day

And then you call me and it's not so bad

It's not so bad and

***

I just stared outside the window for a while, and I thought of him... Neo. The other side of the Real World was still dark and cold, and I knew right now he must've been shivering in bed, or taking watch on the Matrix, staring at the endless falling of the code, much like the pouring of the rain. I missed him so much already, the warmth brought from his eyes, his soft caress to his gentle smile.

***

I want to thank you for giving me the best day of my life

Oh just to be with you is having the best day of my life

***

Everyone always did say that separation brought out the best in a relationship, but somehow it hurt so much to be kept so far away from him, so that he can do his duties. But I know it's his purpose, it's his job, it's what he has to do. I sigh again as I hear a knock on the door and for a while I just say there, keeping quiet, not wanting to see anyone right now.

***

Push the door, I'm home at last and I'm soaking through and through

Then you handed me a towel and all I see is you

And even if my house falls down now, I wouldn't have a clue

Because you're near me and

***

The door opened by itself and I sighed a bit, "Please leave me alone." My voice had a hint of annoyance, and yet the one that answered me was calm and gentle, "Even if someone really misses you?" Ii turned around with astounded eyes to see Neo, my Neo, smiling at me. I stood up as he walked to me and held me close to his warmth, his soft scent, and all I could do was smile, maybe the day wasn't as bad as I thought.

I want to thank you for giving me the best day of my life

Oh just to be with you is having the best day of my life
