I flew to Bangkok for a business trip,
A long journey, a tired flight.
I reached my room and had a nap,
To rest my eyes from the bright light.
I woke up and went for a walk outside,
And there you were, standing there.
In brown Shorts and a top of white,
With a hat on your lovely hair.
You were stunning, adorable, and outshining,
With eyes that were so deep and dark.
You didn't speak, you only stared,
Leaving a deep and ancient mark.
The way you looked at me just then,
Implied the target had been ceased.
It was the same powerful look you gave ,
When our young hearts were first released.
A curl of hair went past your ear,
I saw your collarbone so plain.
It made me feel that fresh, deep love,
And made me come alive again.
I remembered then the day we met,
A moment I could never forget.
Your vibrant smile, that same white top,
The way my heart would start and stop.
Back then, you looked with secret eyes,
Ignoring me to my surprise.
But now I was happy. I said hello,
We hugged for a long, long time.
We waited to find the right words to say,
In a world that felt so noicy and loud .
Our voices were shaky, but we talked,
As we rode upon the city train.
We stopped to have some ice cream there,
You had a red jelly drink, sweet and plain.
I said I had to go to meetings,
So we walked through a park of green.
We shared a kiss and one more hug,
The sweetest moment I have seen.
My phone rang and I had to rush,
I said, "I'll see you when I'm through."
I finished all my work hurry and fast,
And went back out to look for you.
But you didn't show, you weren't there,
I called your name and started to cry.
I shouted for you in the street,
Underneath the Bangkok sky.
Then I woke up in my quiet room,
The dream was gone, and I was alone.
I rested there and caught my breath,
It was just a dream I had known.
