Last Meet with My First Love
meeting you face to face
you seem to hide yourself
behind a fog in another world
separated by the pacific in between
you often look like the flower
blooming on my window ledge
have a blue dream
and you will see a little cloud
drifting around like me
near that borderline
I have packed up your entire being tightly
into my backpack, the luggage
I cannot consign, or sent by mail
but carry it with me
close to my chest
for all the unknown years ahead
Valentine Gift
A
Single
Rose
Exchanging
For
A
Whole
Lifetime
