No, I didn’t see the news
’Cause we were somewhere else
“You are so quiet, penny for your thoughts?”
“I was allured by the view, it really feel like a dream I fear I’m not going to move on”
“It’s your favorite place in the world after all” — “by mean with you on my side?”
“Okay, you better keep quiet” you laughed at that. Seeing him flush by your pick up line is such a rare sight so you quickly tap the camera button and captured him, grinning by his reaction.
I was taken by the view
Like we were in Paris
He knows how you love strolling around, walking down the street, seeing everyone on their own pace, other times you missed the last train at midnight just for seeing the city lights and at the end he is the one who run to you, picking you up. So tonight, he offers to walk around the city (cancelling all his schedules just to be with you), which you can’t resist to say no.
Nowhere to go even though you listed all the places, but the idea of walking with him (in Paris) holding your hand, side by side until you found cute shop to visit, and getting lost in the sight of people in the city of love, watching everyone minding their business, taking photos, or singing while entertain friends with their playful jokes and games. You couldn’t care less what will the night offer you tonight but to be with him.
oh you’ve been waiting for this moment for a long time.
“Can we go to the side of foch? Aku mau ke NAP tapi kayaknya kejauhan deh. But first let’s get coffee~” you say to him with a puppy eyes.
“Sure thing, cicaa. Tapi katanya mau jalan lewat arc triomphe dulu sambil ke Dior?”
“Oh iyaaa, sekalian nanti lewat foch aja deh, kayaknya kalau ke Dior besok aja yaaa sekalian masuk?” he couldn’t help but nodded and smile.
“Mau cookies gak buat jalan di foch nanti? Biar sekalian aku ambil pesanannya” “Boleeh deh, your choice ya Mr. Lee”
Smiled ear to ear hearing your request, he realized that even doing the small things with you never been dull, it keeps him to slow down a bit in life and being with you is such a blessing after his exhausting days.
“Bet you already know that Paris is the city of love, but wonder why?”
“Well I’m with you right here, might as well explain that”
“OH NOT LIKE THAT but yeah that spell out a lot for you too.”
I’m so in love that I might stop breathing
“I feel more alive at night than the day”
“Because it was sunny and hot at days when i stroll around, you won’t stay for hours i swear! but for real chilly night like this radiates different colors each side corner of the buildings. Such a dream scene I might explode hyuck.”
“You are such a sight too anyway — look forward we’re just a little bit more reaching to our place”
“Ihhh kenapa kita udah sampe arc, padahal kita masih seru jalan di foch deh tadi”
“Soalnya daritadi kamu ngoceh sambil mam, jadi gak kerasa”
“Hehehehehe. Oke kita stop disini dulu, aku mau foto kamu please gaya dulu”
“Kenapa gak berdua? — “ih kamu dulu sendiri soalnya mau aku print dan coret-coret” captured with love, immeasurably at peace.
Oh the earth was made for lovers — emily dickinson.
“Mau tau gak the truth about paris with you — is that my heart is about to jump how every minutes of it feels like a dream tau hyuuuuck. I feel warm and comfortable just being with you, safely dreaming yet it’s not a dream i’m livin in it, and the special one is here by your side.”
“Called a city of love for a reason because, Cica we will always have paris if it’s what you always wanted”
Every dead end street, the lights, the curve of boulevard, and when you finally looking around, you hope you’ll find him in every indelible echoes of spot roaming in Paris, or anywhere else until you stop hearing it again (but you wished it never ends).
At least tonight, you’re in Paris with him.
— with so much love to pour, in 2023 and beyond.
