TALKING TO THE MOON

 Bruno Mars! Yes, you got it correct. It is his song. I tried to understand the main message of the song. Ah...missing someone. Every night, he misses the girl. He then sits by himself and talks to the moon.

 This title came across my mind as I was sitting in the car while my daughter was driving. The radio was on, but the sound was just a background of an empty silence that occupied the air. I told her what I had been facing lately...I turned to be so forgetful and sometimes I stood in front of the fridge not knowing what to do. She focused on the traffic. Of course she has to... who doesn't. The silence was back again. 

Then I brought up a topic about our family. I told  her that her sister was a bit bizarre this morning for no reason. She nodded gently and no word came out of her mouth. I began to feel a bit offended...not really offended actually but hurt to be precise. 

My mind was working very hard to find a topic that might be of her interest. But I got  stuck... and let the emptiness dangle and sway around my  hollow heart. The music which had been the background of our being together, then appeared as a leading focus. The sound of Bruno Mars was there...hey...that's me. I might be talking to the moon...
