The Shadow of Your Smile



The shadow of your smile
when you are gone
Will color all my dreams
And light the dawn
Look into my eyes, My love, and see
All the lovely things
You are to me

Our wistful little star
Was far too high
A teardrop kissed your lips
And so did I
Now, when I remember spring
All the joy that love can bring
I will be remembering
The shadow of your smile 

(The Shadow of Your Smile - Astrud Gilberto)

Ich vermisse dich, Ruh
You and your (sometimes) silly antics, and your waving when I go, and those little creases on the corner of your eye when you showered the world with your warm, comforting smile. That song up there, somehow reminds me of you. Maybe it's Astrud Gilberto, maybe it's the lyric...or maybe just about anything can easily connect my random mind to you.


I don't even know what to write, aside from that simple sentence. Ich vermisse dich. That's it. 

Hochachtungsvoll,
deine Vera

Ps. in case you're too tired to play the dictionary game, that sentence means 'I miss you'

Pelajaran Berharga yang Vera Dapat Minggu ini

  1. You SHOULD reply all text message you have received immediately . Why? Because waiting is a boring thing to do in general. And sometimes it is more than just 'boring'. It's freaking annoying. Or more. If you can't, please reply whenever you have a chance. Don't forget to give some logical explanation. Preferably honest. But lying is better than not replying. Seriously. (I know I do this thing --not replying text message-- a lot, but don't worry...I've learned my lesson) 2. One with boyfriend/girlfriend should NOT flirt with another boy/girl. Really, it's just sickening to watch. 3. If you have some silly romantic-relationship problem (e.g. someone's trying to flirt with your romantic-interest and/or your romantic interest seems like scared at the idea of being near you and/or...name it yourself) go to the nearest bookstore and buy a novel you've already wanted for years . Don't even look at the price. Just buy it. It may dra...

Aishiteru - Kizuna (a.k.a. The Movie That Made Me Feel Like A Stone-Hearted Cyborg)

Aishiteru~ Kizuna (I Love You~ Bonds) DVD Cover It's been a while since the last time I posted my Monday with Masaki reviews. I kind of miss fangirling in public writing about it, and I still have some unwatched Okada Masaki's movies lying around, so here it is! This is actually a TV special, continuation from the drama Aishiteru~ Kaiyo (2009) . I haven’t watched the drama, so I was a bit worried that I could not follow the storyline easily. Turned out that it can be enjoyed on its own. All the needed background information from the original drama was summarized briefly at the beginning by Sano Shiro , who played the father of a murdered child in the original drama. Er…a murdered child, you say? Yes, you read that right. Aishiteru~ Kaiyo was about a 5th grader who killed a 2nd grader, and how their families were shattered after the event. It seems like a very emotional drama, and according to Sano Shiro, it made the casts contemplated a lot about th...

Tujuh Bulan Lewat : KKNM Sukatani Januari-Februari 2013

Image
Pesan sponsor : Kunjungi juga blog KKNM Desa Sukatani Januari-Februari 2013 (yang sebagian besaaaar banget diurusin oleh Andre. Terima kasih Andre :)) Akhir-akhir ini saya sering ditanya sama junior-junior saya, "Kak, kalau KKN enaknya di mana ya?" Sudah mulai ya, gegalauan pilih tempat KKN? Saya jadi ingat, tahun lalu, saya ada di posisi itu. Nggak galau sih, lebih cenderung ke nggak peduli. Teman-teman dekat saya sampai lupa kalau saya juga bakal KKN pada Januari 2013, soalnya saya nggak menunjukkan bahwa saya memikirkan itu sama sekali. Gimana ya, sebagai koor acara Training Pengembangan Diri Fapsi 2012 (asik) dan sibuk sama laporan praktikum segala macam, galau KKN nggak punya tempat di otak saya. Well, ada sih, setitik, di pojok, nyelip di bawah sofa, silakan dicari sendiri ya, makasih. Lagipula kan sudah ada teman-teman yang janjian bakal KKN bareng (Tifa dan Ufi). Jadi ya, biarkan mereka yang memilih. Saya sih ikut aja. Mau di tempat yang dekat sama kot...
