When you look me in the eyes
And tell me that you love me
Everything's alright
When you're right here by my side
When you look me in the eyes
I catch a glimpse of heaven
I find my paradise
When you look me in the eyes

i read in the newspapers that the 20 yr old db guy stayed at je st.13. my estate. you studied in SA and RV. i remember an SA guy staying at my block. i looked out for the wake on my train ride, only to see one, right under my own block, at the other side. gasps.
i prayed it wasn't you. but my prayers were unanswered.
you were my neighbour, though little more than a passing stranger. haven seen you around since jc days during those brief encounters in the lift. and i won't get to see you again. you happened to be his best friend. i tried my best to console him and give him support. but it's gonna take a long time to heal. nobody would have thought they'd send you off so soon, so sudden. you didn't even give them a chance to bid you goodbye.
i witnessed your funeral from my house window, where your loved ones saw you off on your last journey. 8 of your teammates carried your coffin wrapped in sg flag. you left with pride. your friends tried so hard to hold their tears. your brother knelt and wept for you. it was a painful sight to behold. my heart ached so badly, at the same time bringing back sad memories buried deep down.
