Enchanted

I raised the volume to the highest peak and Insonnia echoed sweetly enchantingly deep inside my mind, as if it was the whisper in the heart itself. The others’ voice started to fade away devoured by the angelic and ghostly voice of KOKIA. Together with it, the world began to grow silent, so silent that it stood almost motionless in front of me. Even the waves of people were getting slower, their ugly pace was growing quieter, soundless. The hideous noise that they made was muted like an unsung lute.

Perche sono qui ?

Insonnia

Dove voglio andare ?

La risposta non cè

Io ancora dorma

Ho un sogno felice

The traffic disappeared silently ahead and the green lights emerged still without a sound. By and by, I could feel the gentle flow of the people crossing the road. Indeed, it was like a gentle breath, pleading me to move along. Yet, no matter how much I felt the urge to walk, my very legs were stunned, glued stiff at where I was. Thus, I stood there all alone feeling that gentle breath as it leaved me behind.

 As the breeze passed me heedlessly, my eyes glazed over the world before me. Where is it, I wonder, the appearance I have been looking for? Even in such crowd, all that I could sense is the hurtful unfamiliarity. The melody began to catch my slow beating heart. I smiled sensing the firm careful grip coming from inside. Slowly, quietly, the reality began to collapse. All; the waves of people, the traffic and the soundless light were breaking, falling down in miniscule pieces, glittering and fluttering, like tears. Only then, I knew that I was crying.  

Aspetto qualcuno

Da molto tempo

Ma nessuno viene ancora

Io ancora dorma

Ho un sogno felice…

The world is falling apart, don’t you think? No matter how many times you tell yourself that it was alright. No matter how much effort you give to smile, such lousy emoticons won’t glue the wretched mask so well. And, the only thing you could do is to wait, wait and wait longingly as the enchanting time passes.

No. This is a dream, don’t you think? A sleepless reverie. And this enchantingly angelic and haunting melody has proven it so. Were it reality why would you smile as much as you cry. It would be absurd to laugh when your heart was breaking, right? Others will easily call you mad.

Then…

Then?

Then, let us continue to fall. The darkness will cradle us both.

It is a dream, isn’t it?

Indeed, it is. That is why…

That is why?

That is why we don’t need to wait anymore.

 A loud thump was heard and the audio player fall down to the ground with a crash. In a sudden the noise of the world returned. Filthy words echoed wretchedly as the car drove away in a swift awful speed. The arms around me were warm and I could feel the anxious beating of the heart within. I looked up to the person’s face confusedly even knowing who the person was, a tear falling down as my head moved. White blinding light was coming out from the figure there, who was holding me protectively.

Why am I here?

Insomnia.

Where do I want to go?

I have no response.

“Sono spiacente,” said the long-awaited voice. "Don't worry, I'm here now."
