5 years ago, i met harry. one month after knowing her, she asked me:"have you ever heard of david tao's music? he's incredible! i bet you'll fall in love with him." and so i did, hence started our story with dave.
those days were brilliant, we were young and thoughtless, we loved to play crazily and dangerously; and to top it all we had dave, therefore we were happy. we easily ignored the world and the time that's passing by, because our lives were filled by music and endless fun. we used to climbe onto the roof and sit there all night counting the stars and singing "everything is gone"; we once sneaked into the forest in the evening and started a bon fire, singing (shouting?) "angeline"; we even played piano aloud at night in the school chapel, and guess which song we were playing? none other than "in blue"...it's kind of funny, dave always took part in our adventures, he's like a best friend who shared all the special moments with us, and yet he doesn't even know that we existed. harry and i joked about it, and we wished that one day, we will be able to go to one of his concerts together. dave's music brought our hearts together, and it tightened the friendship. everything seemed so bright and hopeful, we hadn't a clue what time had in store for us.
it was the summer holidays 4 years ago, harry was on a trip to jing gang mountain. i still remember her smile when she promised that she'll bring back loads of gifts for me. then all of a sudden, i lost contact with her. she was supposed to be back already, only that her mobile was switched off and she was not replying my mails. so i tried to contact her family, but her mum always disappointed me by either muttering that she's "out" or she's asleep, and hanging up before i could ask anymore questions. i was scared, and i would not be fooled, so i went to her home, but only to hear a seemingly unreal story from her surprised and tearful mum "she fell down this cliff...broke her neck..."
for once, david was forbidden. i could not bear anything that reminded me of the good old days i had with harry. i asked again and again "why? why? why her? why at such a young age? why couldn't i have died for her? why do i have to suffer this intensive pain? am i going to lose all the happiness and laughters in my life?" it was too much beyond my comprehension, and i had no one to turn to. for a while i thought i would not be able to survive the loss of my best friend; i wasn't living, i was simply existing.
the wound was healed after two years. i was again able to open up, and accordingly i regained that liveliness and sense of humour. "about time", i thought, it'll be very selfish to keep "caging" myself and hurt everybody who cared for me. but i had this permanent loneliness and emptiness in my chest. they ache occasionally, and that's when i turn to dave, and a mug of espresso, because they were both harry's favourite. it is my way of remembering harry, even though i often end up crying, i felt better afterwards. the bitterness and warmth of the coffee combined with dave's music to bring a soothing and comforting sensation, which is all i ask for. i never knew music could be so powerful in such a gentle and touchy way, and it could be so expressive that it could establish some sort of understanding between people so effectively. i know harry would be glad that i still stick to dave; and so should the record company, because i have to buy two copies everytime a new one came out, and one of them is for harry.
i would like to thank david, because his music has really touched my heart, and it has been part of my most precious memories. i wish him all the good luck in both his career and his love life (is he REALLY going to get married next year?). and i'm so glad to have found this place where i can share this story with so many of you who love dave as well ^Q^ and i sincerely hope that you will forgive me for typing in english, it's all this stupid PC's fault.
by the way, apparently dave loves the harry potter series, rite? does anyone know if his favourite character is sirius black or freddie weasley?
