Hey ! i got my novel ! and i saw this super nice card promoting Low Kay Hwa's latest novel 'To Forget You' and there are two sides of the letter. LOL. i will type it here :]
Dear Superwoman,
Do you know that every single tap of the raindrop sounds like they are singing your name repeatedly, and i realized that every single sound i hear reflect your elegant, yet poignant name ?
We are like two ships sailing towards each other, on a course of collision. The river is narrow, only enough for one of us to sail. If i dont sink now, we will crash into each other, and both of us will sink. I am going to sink now, superwoman, not because i am afraid of collision, or because i dont want you to sink. i just dont want you to see me, so that you will continue to sail peacefully, and me, i am just a passing sentiment in your anthology of memoirs.
The most painful sentiment in this world is not a physical sting, but the fact that the love between you and me is still lingering strongly, yet reality had to separate us.
Please, just forget me.
Superman
Dear Superman
Memories are like a piece of exquisite glass: Beautiful, Fragile yet dangerous. When you break it, it will shatter into pieces, and every slice of the glass, which was ever so beautiful minutes ago, will turn into sharp blades that cut your skin.
When you risked you life to save me, and you were happy not because i survived, but because we survived, as in our dictionary, the word "I" or "You" never exists: It is always "Us" or "We".
Superman, one day, when we are eighty years old, and we see each other in the streets, will you still remember me ? Or will you, will you see me, think for a few minutes, and then said out another person's name, for I'm nothing but a glancing memory in you recollections of memories ?
Why, superman, why do i have to forget you ?
Superwoman
