It's past three in the morning. I am sitting at the middle of an empty open correigdor of the hospital facing the vast dark sky. The wind blows cold to my face as I struggle to calm my thoughts. I'm looking at an open-lighted glass door in front of me. And I remember the glass window, twelve floors high, that I used to stare through when I'm looking at the road lights of Marikina City and the reflections they cast over the dark waters of Marikina River.
I started thinking about those people sleeping silently on their beds. What they're dreaming of.
I thought about those who's up because of work. Call Center agents lighting up smokes while on their break.
Or those jeepney or taxi drivers roaming around for possible passengers.
I thought about the prostitutes hoping to get hitched and laid before the sun breaks it's first ray.
Those who just finished having sex.
Those who's walking lousily towards home after getting drunk with friends.
I thought about those working on a newspaper printing press. How their day started few hours ago and ends in the wee hours of noon time.
I thought about those hold-uppers and snatchers taking a fun run for their lives after catching up a defenseless victim; who's in shock because of surprise and fear.
I thought about my family. What they'd be thinking after waking up an hour after. What makes them wake up. What bothers them.What they're feeling.
I thought about my friends. Are they sleeping soundly? Are they having their graveyard duty? Are they comfortable? Are they happy?
I thought about the next night skies that I'll be staring months from now.. years from now.. Am I still on the same place. looking at a glass pane wandering? Am I still stepping on the same land?
I thought about those who can't sleep with their heavy hearts. Those who's bothered. Those who chose to sit alone on an open wide empty correigdor staring at some lighted glass doors while listening to mellow music while thoughts are poured directly into a piece of paper.
In case you didn't know.. I just started thinking about you.Labels: heart, life, self
