CHAPTER III
I really love sleeping on the cough.
Sleeping on the couch for me is not a synonym that I was not allowed to sleep on my bed or share the same bedroom… (Suspicious laugh) I’d just say that couches have a great meaning for me.
I have many couches in my house, actually. I may say I love working on a chair in a table but working on the couch is totally different for me. Moreover, couches are more spacious, so I can lie down if I please. I like the fact I can do my work in many different positions when I’m on the couch. When I start composing or writing lyrics, I often have to keep working for hours without a break, so it’s also important to feel comfortable and being able to change the position anytime.
Back in the late 90’s, yukki used to come to the couch and sit next to me while I was working on lyrics. He used to come closer silently, like a kitty, and just take his place on it, quite next to me. I would feel uneasy if someone else sat by my side while I was writing lyrics but somehow I felt quite calm and at easy whenever he was close to me. I think yukki has also that calmness inside him that can react with my own calmness and make the atmosphere around us lighter and peaceful. I used to feel myself even more inspired just by the feeling of his presence. I think he wanted to show me his support, but at the same time he didn’t want to bother me. As if yukki could ever bother me!! (laughs)So, he’d be there quietly just to show me I could count on him if I needed.
At those times, he’d hardly talk to me, so after some time working, I’d look at his side to check if he was still there but I ended up seeing his sleeping face (smile) Somehow, just that vision would make me work even harder.
Nowadays, maybe as we have grown more intimate, it‘s almost impossible to stay silent for a long time when I’m by his side. Moreover, the distance he sits from me seems to have shortened a lot!! To the point of him being able to peep over my papers (laughs) I instinctively put my hands on it, trying to hide it but most of the times, he allures me to show my scraps to him ;__; Then, he offers me some help with the lyrics and I accept it (laughs)
I also remember that when I moved for the first time to share a room with someone else, we got very excited when we got to buy our couch. We’d try it very frolic whenever we passed across the living room for any reason, feeling how spacious it was and smooth. We used to often do something on it. Unfortunately, couches get stained easily...
I can sleep easily anywhere and couches are very good for that matter as well. Techan often comes to me when I’m sleeping on the office’s couch. He seems overwhelmed whenever he gets to spot me taking a nap. I think that’s his maternal side burning on him (laughs) He uses to softly whisper in my ear, so softly his voice sounds like coming from a good dream :"Doiha, are you comfortable this way? Wanna come to bed?" And as I murmur something undistinguishable out from my sleep, he leaves the room just to return some time later with a warm blanket that he uses to cover me gently. So, I think to myself how good it is to be taken care for someone so dear.
Wherever I am in the world, I’ll definitely always sleep on the warmness of a good couch and also do some great work on it.
