The sea is my life.
As far as I can remember, I was 4 years old when I first jumped into the sea. It was at Pulau Besar, Melaka, when I fell into the sea and almost drowned. A hand snatched me out of the water..and until now I don’t know whose hand it was. I got my sea legs because I have been out at sea since I was 5 years old.
About a month ago, someone said to me that as I love the sea, it will one day keep me.
My siblings are planning to celebrate my birthday as well as those other July relatives.
I am going back to the sea…I am GOING BACK to the sea. Since I have lost my little world where everything is beautiful, I will go back to the other world I know that is always waiting for my return.
And this reminds me of a song I loved listening to back in 1991:
over Mountains
over Trees
over Oceans
over Seas
across the desert
I’ll be there
in a whisper on the wind
on the smile of a new friend
just think of me
And I’ll be there
Don’t be afraid, oh my love
I’ll be watching you from above
And I’d give all the world tonight,
to be with you
Because I’m on your side,
And I still care
I may have died,
but I’ve gone nowhere
Just think of me,
And I’ll be there
On the edge of a waking dream
over Rivers
over Streams
through Wind and Rain
I’ll be there
Across the wide and open sky
thousands of miles I’d fly
to be with you
I’ll be there
Don’t be afraid, oh my love
I’ll be watching you from above
And I’d give all the world tonight,
to be with you
Because I’m on your side,
And I still care
I may have died,
but I’ve gone nowhere
Just think of me,
And I’ll be there
In the breath of a wind that sighs
oh, there’s no need to cry
Just think of me,
And I’ll be there
Don’t miss me.
