AMSTERDAM UNDER THE SKY

I stayed here for a long time. The room was gradually deserted. Just as dreamy. Continued pensive. My vision was far ahead, through the frosted glass window, through the pine-fir stands remain strong despite the snow-covered, through a row of typical buildings of Europe and skyscraper buildings, well and kept away. Well! I'm in gray, like the sky this afternoon. And ice crystals continue to fall without mercy cover the land, forming a white rug is like a large extend without end."I will be at the home tomorrow, Heroine." Lantang.I snapped up instantly. It sounds like a big wave hit the reef imajiku. Fall apart."Hellena, here come the moment ...!"While continuing to go he replied: "Sorry, I am so busy. Bye! "Disappeared behind the door. For a moment I froze. I look around, the class was quiet. I live alone.I will be at the home, I remember she said. Suddenly my mind floated away into the house. I miss everything there.
